May, Day 1

“How low am I, thou painted maypole? (Hermia to Helena)” ― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

MaypoleIt’s May Day.  Are the Maypoles up and ready to go?

May 1st is also International Workers’ Day, which was a really big deal in the former USSR. 

And lest we forget, the first day in May is Loyalty Day here in the United States.

And, although it has nothing to do with May Day, the pronunciation is the same. 😉

It’s Halloween!

The three witches

Fillet of a fenny snake, in the cauldron boil and bake: eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog, adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting, lizard’s leg and howler’s wing, for a charm of pow’rful trouble, like a hell-broth boil and bubble. — Second Witch, “Macbeth,” IV:1
