May Day Surprise

| 23 Comments | No TrackBacks

Yesterday evening, around dinner time, my doorbell rang.

I hate when my doorbell rings.  At least when I'm not expecting anyone.  It's never anything good.  So I slowly walked to the door, trying to see what I was facing.  I couldn't see anything until I got right up to the door.  Then I saw a little brown bag.  I looked closer and I saw it had my neighbor's six year old son's name on it, in a six year old's handwritting.  I opened the door and he popped up from around the corner and yelled, "Surprise!  It's flowers!"

So I opened up the little brown lunch bag and pulled out an adorable little flower basked (of sorts).  It was a clear plastic cup, a green pipecleaner as a handle, with some white alysum inside.  It also had a little popsicle stick thingy with a little may day poem on it. 

As part of his school project he was instructed to leave it on a neighbors doorstep and then surprise them when they opened the door.  I was actually incredibly flattered that he choose to give it to me instead of any of the other neighbors. 

Here are a few pictures of my sweet little gift.  As you can see, I couldn't decide the best spot for the the flower "basket".
