Wow. The palette is beautiful, and your description is - surprising to me. "May Day" would bring to my mind hazy pictures of girls in pretty dresses dancing with ribbons around a May Pole and military parades in Red Square. (I'm not trying to be funny, that's what I really related to May Day.) I didn't know there was an International Workers' Day, although I'm very happy to learn that there is one.

I didn't know (or had forgotten) about the Haymarket Massacre in Chicago. What a horrible event, and something that should not be forgotten or taken for granted. Although we have "Labor Day" in the US, observed on the first Monday in September, in my experience it's viewed as just a day off work for most people, creating a long weekend, and not especially connected to worker's rights or the labor movement.

Thank you for the lesson. You've given me something to think about.

Nice dear Kalindy
