May is so pretty!

Here we are almost mid May and it is getting prettier by the moment. Our lilacs are popping all over. I'm blessed with several bushes we have purchased over the years. Got several many years ago for our anniversary - one is in front of the house. I can't remember its variety but we had one like it at home when I was young. It so reminds me of then -and the wonderful sweet smell of them that would pour into our bedroom. It was a big plant - taller then the one story home- tucked into a half corner where the stone front of the home gave way to siding and continued back to the corner - and on across to my sisters room that we shared. The bathroom window was blocked by it's big leaves and I think that was why it had been positioned their. Mom always called it a French lilac - but I'm not so sure. Or " shoe-wah" as she would say with that New England accent she held tightly to. The one in front of our house blooms later then the others around in the yard. Its nice because when almost all of the blooms have left we get one more crack at it.

Miss you Mom - Mother's day was tough without you - but we will see you again in heaven.

Beautiful May and Mothers Day

It is a beautiful day outside - we got sun shining through those clouds finally and the spring flowers are blooming- the humming birds are back. The gardens need a lot of work but hurrah it is spring!
Mothers day is coming and many will have such a good time. I have a little suspicion that it will be calm and quiet here. My mom is gone home to her Lord now, so I have nothing to do to get ready for her. She has all she needs. I expect nothing from my children as they have big families to cellibrate the day with.Their families have been blessed with five children each - one is in heaven, so the possibilities are full for the remaining nine!.
Children need to learn to cheer on their parents~ not to mention how fun it is to do! Card making, flower picking - hundreds of things for mom's from little ones and the older ones- all the way up to those that still have parents to give to.

I hope that where ever you are with your mom the the day is a blessing. Love on your mom and let this be a very special time if you are the mom receiving! Lucky you to have children that rise up and call you blessed!
Here is my mom and my daughter ~ two of the most loved people in my life.This was a tea party for Mother's day 2010. I am so glad we had this photo made.
