Too dang exhausted to _really_ celebrate the night (pregnancy woes - still in the exhaustion phase), but did get together with my circle and danced a maypole and had a bit of celebration/feast (somehow we’ve gotten into a ‘rut’ of eating ice cream with fresh strawberries and chocolate sauce and whipped cream on Beltane… ooh, doncha hate ruts?). Then they sent me home early so I wouldn’t crash my car falling asleep while driving, so I missed some of the hanging out and chatting. This was our youngest member’s first Beltane, too. Kinda cool. 🙂 One of our group went this morning to watch the Morris dancers dance up the dawn… Everyone else was working or in school this AM. ---

My pagan bowling ritual went well. First game, 135, 2nd & 3rd games both 157. My average is only 126, so I’m not happy. 😃 ---

Oops. > [@](#): > > so I’m not happy. That should be “so I’m happy.” Duh. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-beltane/63826.md?page=1)
