POLSON — May Day was originally a Pagan celebration of the start of the flowering season; demonstrated by dancing, play and pleasure. I recall my mother’s Irish/Scandinavian tradition of children leaving a basket of fresh flowers on the porches of strangers, then knocking on the door and gleefull...
