Back in the 19th and 20th centuries, people rang in the first of May with a particularly charming and elegant tradition. They would take flowers they had gathered at the end of April's showers, arrange them in pretty paper along with gifts and candies, and hang them on the doors of friends and neighbors as a way of welcoming them into spring. We did it as little kids in Minnesota
