A-Conjuring Summer In! Maypole Dancing! Farewell April!

A-Conjuring Summer In! Maypole Dancing! Farewell April! May 1, 2010

Oh, do not tell the priest our plight,
Or he would call it a sin;

But–we have been out in the woods all night,
A-conjuring Summer in!
And we bring you good news by word of mouth —
Good news for cattle and corn —
Now is the Sun come up from the south,
With Oak, and Ash, and Thorn!

– Rudyard Kipling, “A Tree Song”

April has been an incredible month at Oak and Holly, all thanks to the incredible writers who are contributing their considerable talent and time to make this an interesting, diverse and fun blog, and of course, as PBS likes to say, thanks to readers like YOU!

May you have a blessed May! Go Maypole dancing! Eat, drink and be merry! Aye! Feast! Rejoice! For there is no dread hereafter!
