Happy May Day! Ah, this brings back elementary-school memories of making glue-smeared little baskets filled with tissue paper flowers to leave on unsuspecting people's doorsteps. Not that I remember actually leaving one on a doorstep, but as I made them I was always told that was the idea.
I think I just liked it because we got to use Elmer's glue, and I could "accidentally" get it all over my fingers and have the distinctly satisfying pleasure of peeling it off when it dried.
Those were the days.

"Who am I? This or the other? Am I one person today, and tomorrow another? Am I both at once? ... Whoever I am, Thou knowest, O God, I am thine." (Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "Prison Poems")

This week I give God a cheer for:
parchment paper, chalkboard paint, free museum weekends, public transportation, online cultural resources, free apps to help you learn non-roman scripts, science experiments, cast iron dutch ovens, cast iron dutch oven lids which double as a skillets, power drills, gallery walls, taco nights with friends, vegetarian cookbooks, apples on sale, the way flowers brighten a room, new curtains, globes, Friday night outings, engineering paper, movie-makers not destroying my favorite book, movie-makers creating something beautiful based on my favorite book, theater pubs, Gutenberg, sunny-yet-freezing weather, new dishtowels, hand-thrown pottery, the golden ratio, secondhand stores, stained glass, and the word "kerfuffle," among other things.
