Happy Mother's Day!!










The first Mother's Day after my mom passed away, my good friend Paddy told me to dig in my garden. To get my hands dirty and to cultivate something beautiful out of my tears. Tony and I really took that to heart this year. We planted 6 trees, 2 shrubs, 4 pots of Honeysuckle and I still have a whole flat of herbs that need a home somewhere in the sun! After a Saturday trip to the nursery in Saline, and a visit today to the annual Flower Sale at the Royal Oak Farmer's Market and Bordines, we were ready to plant our own forest!! The rain came early, and while the downpour was fantastic AFTER we planted, it gave us dirty hands, wet jeans and muddy shoes. I didn't realize how chilly it was outside in the rain until I made it to the hot shower - the entire day proved successful in cleansing my soul.

I am forever greatful for my mom and the things she taught me over the years. I am also thrilled to know so many fabulous women who are mothers - so here's to all of you...Happy Mother's Day!!!
