Happy Floralia!

Yes, today is the first day of Floralia, the Roman festival dedicated to Flora, goddess of flowers and spring! From today through May 3, we should all be wearing bright colors and making offerings of milk and honey in a joyous celebration of springtime and the renewal of life. No doubt you already have your Floralia festivities all planned, with dancing and drinking and of course the customary tossing of chickpeas!
