May 2019 newsletter Hello! Happy May Day! I was delighted yesterday to receive a branch of muguet (lily of the valley). In France, the flower is everywhere on May 1st – Labor Day, the fête du travail – and I used to buy a bunch for our apartment building's gardienne and leave it anonymously at her door. The flowers are rarer here in the States, where they're usually used in bridal bouquets. But yesterday morning, I was delighted to see bunches of it in my daughter's classroom. The school receptionist grows it and she clipped the delicate blossoms from her garden. She made my day when she presented me with a sprig.
