At the close of last Friday’s edition of Real Mail Fridays<\/strong><\/a>, the weekly online Zoom social I host for the Jaffe Center for Book Arts<\/strong><\/a> each Friday from 2 to 5 Eastern, artist Maria Surducan<\/strong><\/a>, who was tuning in from Romania, asked if we were all off on Monday for May Day. I had to explain that no, May Day was not a big deal here in the States, and not even acknowledged as a holiday, really.<\/p>\n

But certainly some of you celebrated, and\u00a0I hope you had a lovely Walpurgis Night and a fine May Day, too. And here, now, just a bit belated, is your Convivio Book of Days Calendar for May<\/strong><\/a>. Cover star: Roses<\/em>, painted by Renoir. It’s a gorgeous painting and that alone is worth clicking for. And I will leave it at that. It’s late; I’m going to have a cup of English Breakfast and go to bed. Maybe I’ll dream of roses, and maybe you will, too.<\/p>\n
