Tradition

I grew up believing you should leave a bouquet of flowers on your neighbor's door as a surprise, ring the door bell and then run and hide while watching them find the flowers on May Day.

DING DONG!
Lovely tradition. I will have to remember it for next year and try it myself! Lovely shot and great idea!

@kwiksilver @mzzhope @mats365 @deburahiru @luvmynynix @mikegifford @kandkids @nana @maggotx @digitalrn @rangerxenos @kbird61 It must be an older generation thing. I am grateful for all you kind comments (and the FAV Mat) and happy to know I may have rekindled the tradition! It doesn't have to be a huge bouquet or even store bought! As a matter of fact it is usually a small bouquet of whatever is blooming in your yard at the time! The fun is in the giving and the surprise. These were my gift to you since i couldn't actually drop them on your door!

Wow thanks! We do this also before Halloween with candy trying to get the whole neighborhood "booed." We drop candy and a sheet of paper to put in the window saying "I've been booed" and it goes from one house to the next. But flowers. Now that's right up my alley. !

@darylo Glad you like it! Thanks I like the boo idea too!
