Little things.

Today is May 1st. May day. I've always wondered what May Day really is, so today I googled it and found brief answers to my question. My interpretation: I will celebrate the beginning of Spring and have flowers planted, in vases, and everywhere possible. A new wreath on the front door (okay, when I have a front door to do so) and give away baskets or little terracotta pots of fresh flowers at work (okay, if my work isn't in a plane).

Last Friday was also Arbor Day. I also have never celebrated Arbor Day and don't know what it's all about it. So, yep, googled that one too. Basically, I am suppose to plant a tree. But my interpretation will be to plant in general and possible clean up things that weren't done on Earth Day (just the week prior, why do they make these holidays so close to one another?).

I love the outdoors. On Sunday I was able to walk by the Mississippi River near Hidden Falls, and it was SO nice. A little chilly, perfect cardigan weather, and plenty of puppies to watch splash around in the water and run around and tackle one another. The bottom of my shoes got sandy and I may have eaten a few grains of sand with my sandwich, but the time was so nice. Maybe spending the day with another person made a difference too, but regardless it was a great day. I love water. Never realized it so much as now, but I do. After visiting the beaches of Puerto Rico, listening to the waves at the edge of Scotland, and now taking in the murky water of the Mississippi, I don't mind what kind of water, just water. Noted.
