Celebrating the arrival of Spring,
these beautiful merry making dancers hold a ribbon each to danced around the Maypole
while Mother Earth is watching them.
these beautiful merry making dancers hold a ribbon each to danced around the Maypole
while Mother Earth is watching them.
They love to dance and sing.
It's a day for feasting, singing, music making and dancing!
In Maypole dancing
the dancers weave the ribbons on to the pole in different directions
creating complex pattern with all the colors.
When all the ribbons have been woven
they reverse the path of the dance to unwind the ribbons.

It is such a great fun!
'We're dancing, we're dancing
Around the Maypole high.
In colors of the rainbow
Our ribbons do fly.
Dear children, take a ribbon please.
Today May flowers all are we.
Around, around, around,
A garland we do weave'.

| Mother Earth and all her girls after their dancing! |
After all the merry dancing around the Maypole,
Mother Earth finds a quiet moment to do some spinning with her drop spindle
while her black kitten plays with a ball of wool.
Note: all the dancers and Mother Earth are for selling at my Etsy shop. Please, have a look at them if you are interested.
