May Day Brownies

Every May Day, I make cookies. In some parts of the United States, May baskets are made as part of the May Day tradition, a celebration of Spring that can include activities like a maypole dance and crowning a queen of May. May baskets are small baskets usually filled with flowers or treats, left anonymously on someone's doorstep.

We've always altered the holiday slightly. When my daughters' were little, we would pick Roses and make horns (to serve as holders for the flowers, made out of colored paper). After my son was born, we started baking cookies to give to friends and family on May 1st.

We've always added a note or a card letting people know that the gift is from us.

Happy May Day!


Enjoy these easy and yummy May Day Brownies.

Bundles of Binding Time, by, Linda Ferrari (official press release)

For Immediate Release:

Bundles of Binding Time, by, Linda Ferrari

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.Lao-tzu

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

When asked how he conquered the world, Alexander the Great replied:  “By not delaying.”

Some time ago I read an article that introduced me to the concept of “binding time.” That’s the notion of the semanticist Alfred Korzybski about the importance of language in passing knowledge from one generation to the next, and how language literally gathers events and thoughts together in bundles that outlive their makers in the memories of those that follow.

I began collecting these quotations when I was a sophomore in high school, and I am now a retired teacher.  Over the years, I have collected quotations and shared them with my students when I wrote them on the board in my classroom.  My students always loved reading the quotations, and so many of them began their own book of quotations.  I hope you, too, will find pleasure and inspiration in these “bundles of binding time.”
