Leaving a May-basket upon the step, not long after dawn.
Happy May Day! This is hand-pulled lino block print of the Jack-in-the-Green (or Jack o' the Green) an English folk tradition for May Day. Wearing a conical or pyramidal wicker or wooden frame covered in foliage so as to conceal the wearer, the Jack-in-the-Green leads a May Day procession, dancing often with musicians and other figures.

3) This is...quite the headline (fyi, everyone's fine). The quotes in the article are pretty great too:

The music for the video is a Wren Song, traditionally sung on St. Stephen’s Day. It’s one of my favorite trad tunes of the season, and a tribute to English-American folk / Morris pioneer #TonyBarrand , who passed away in January 2022. If you’re not familiar with his musical work with #JohnRoberts , it’s well worth checking out.
