A Busy Mother’s Day!
Despite the fact that two of my off springs had to work today the oldest one and family came up to continue working on the flower beds. Debra continued to pull weeds, plant flowers, put down newspaper and cover it with top soil. Grand daughter Jasmine drove the tractor and trailer to haul top soil from the pile to where her Mom was working. Wes help Jazz fill the trailer, shovel the dirt out until the newspaper, trim scrubs, and help the haul the debris down to the chipper pile. This is the results of todays work.
Starting to the left of the driveway door that we call our front door.
Moving to your left the garden at the real front door that we never use because it opens into the laundry room.
Still moving left around the dome is the garden to the east side.
Continuing on around we have the garden under the bedroom window. This spot is half finished but we will get it done.
Next up is around the back near the deck. We had started on this one after we finished the berm the other day. We still have half of this one and the one on the other end to the deck on the other side of the kitchen door.
Yesterday Jay and I moved eight Lilac bushes (small) off the hill and down onto the flat area behind the dome. We placed them down the driveway to the shed. From that same hill area we moved three Redbud trees (small), one apple, and another Lilac placing them beside the drive that goes down to the shed then around to the garage under the dome. We left three Rhubarb plants up on the hill and one in the front garden because jam canning time is fast approaching.
Cards from my Long Island family, Les and family, and Wes’ clan are hanging on the dining room wall as is my tradition. Our dinner dishes are done and the leftovers in the fridge. I’m looking forward to a dish of ice cream later.
Well we still have some work left to do to finish up but right now I have to get out there and do the evening watering before it gets dark.
Hope your day was as full and satisfactory as mine. Let me know how it went!

Mother’s Day!
Today is Mother’s Day.
It is the day to remember the person who slap your butt when you acted up.
The person who kissed your owies even when your knee wasn’t a clean as it could be.
The person who kept all your report cards from kindergarten on.
The person who was stupid when you were a teenager but who grew very wise when you hit your twenties.
The person that would listen to you when no one else would.
The person who could always come up with a couple extra bucks when you were short.
The person that has all the pictures you drew, all the stories you wrote, even the cup you made for her in elementary school.
The person who loves you like no one else could.
Yes the person you’ve called mother, or mom, or momma.
If you are fortunate enough to have her still with you please take time to call her, send a note, or even better give her a big hug today.
The flowers are from Les, Anne, and Courtney. Thank you guys they are lovely.
