MAY DAY in Postcards 4

Mission Bay, Point Loma, and the Pacific from Kate Sessions Park.

Not all countries celebrate May Day any more. When I was a kid we wrapped May Poles with streamers and snuck little bouquets on neighbor’s doorsteps. I don’t think kids know to do that anymore. Military functions and parades took over the innocence. It’s a delightful, naive, and loving vanished bit of culture.

No sun today. From that mountain we could only see fog today. From here we have little culture today, but we have a delightful lily growing next to our garage. Neighbors saved the bulb once. They moved, and I went over and dug it up from their yard. Tho the gardeners have cut it off once, it’s grown back gloriously. It appears to be our gesture to the season.
