May Day

~ Do not speak ill of the Fae on the 1st of May~

The night have madness was a few nights ago and we have all struggled to rationalize and cope with the events for a couple days. Teddy met Joseph in the Garden for a chat that Sunday morning and then they both visited with Lucy in the stable.

It is the eve of May Day... Joseph is out all night roaming the surrounding countryside on foot with a lantern and a couple large bags. One bag is bribery for the cook of spring fiddleheads he foraged. The other bag filled with early spring daisies and other flowers, sprigs of greenery and pussy willow branches. The dining room will get decorated for May Day long before anyone but the cook is awake.
On each bedroom door, Joseph hangs a bouquet of flowers for the ladies or a bundle of greens for the gents. Those Young and eligible also get a corresponding wreath/crown. An offering of the same decor was left at the mines and on the door of the Lubscome Manor.

Teddy gets a knock upon his door at dawn on May Day, when he answers it, there is a trolly outside his door with a breakfast tray. A good old all American kind of breakfast. He sees Joseph trudge tiredly to his own room. Joseph will sleep the whole day away.

Have a wonderful May Day all of you in Lubscome!
