Hope you have a wonderful mother’s day with your mom girl. Unfortunately, my mom is now with Jesus (well, unfortunate for me... fortunate for her) so I will just get to enjoy my kids and g-kids. I took the g-kids to the local pottery place to paint a plate for my daughter. The only thing I insisted on was that they place a handprint on each plate. We will go pick them up tomorrow.
Your gardening sounds great... if sabotaged. I gave up on trying too hard. It never mattered how often I told them, the people who mowed the yard, whether a hired gun or Mr g, always manage to mow down my daffodils or my iris... depending on the season.
I managed to put a few hours in last weekend, but was only pruning dead stuff from the bushes that survived the late freeze last year. One butterfly bush died, the other is about 1/5 the size it was, but most of my Japanese maple made it, and the purple berry bush looks like it will live. My rhododendron has gone great guns for the first time!
In the meantime, the sugar roses are in no danger. 8-)
Yes, we only have one Mom, so must enjoy every minute with her we can before she goes to Heaven. Your Mom is there, but she is also here on earth, and lives in you, your children and grandchildren.
I have a feeling the wonderful Mom and Grammy I know (the one I will outfish someday) learned her very loving ways from her Mom.
I know you are a very special Mom and Grammy. Tell those two little fishergrandkids I said Hi.
That was so sweet of you to do the hands on the plates for your daughter. I also have a feeling those little anglers I know are trying to outdo each other today/tomorrow to make a Grammy happy. I am grinning from ear to ear thinking about this right now.
