A May Day Surprise

It seems like I'm getting surprises everywhere these days. First, I had the surprise at the Supercenter, and then, I had a surprise at the front door.

It happened two days ago. You know... May Day. I just didn't get a chance to yak about it until now.

I had finished posting my May Basket tablescape, which included a little lamentation about the fact that children in this area do not leave little doorknob delights  around the neighborhood on May Day. In reading comments, I realized that it must not be that well known of a tradition after all. So many folks had never heard of it..

Well, that needs to change, I thought.

What better way than to use the incredible power of my blog. 

I was still ruminating about this later in the afternoon when I returned from a little thrifting. I was pulling into the driveway when lo and behold,  I caught the sight of something fluttering from the front door knob out of the corner of my eye.

I'm not making this up, people. My blog power is really that incredible.

I literally ran into the house and through the kitchen and down the hall into the foyer to open the door.

Was it something whimsical like this one from the

ever creative Singing With Birds ? 

Or maybe something with rustic sophistication like 

this one from  Vignette Design?

Awesome, aren't they? 

Unfortunately, 

I found neither whimsy nor sophistication

 hanging on my door knob that May Day afternoon.

I found this.

 A coupon for a fitness center. 
Apparently, they do read my blog...
They couldn't have stuck it in a paper cone with a bunch of daisies?

  

And, there ya go... 

Just another day in Paradise. 

No May basket.

No giggling bushes.

Just a few snickers instead.
