Mother’s Day weekend is a great opportunity to get lots of chores checked off my gardening to-do list. Unfortunately, owning a gardening business means that my own garden is low on my priority list. Luckily, my sons are quite willing to help me work through my list on Mother’s Day weekend.
This year Saturday was spent in the company of one son helping his friend’s mother plant some trees in her yard. Not my garden, but something I had promised to do. He can get done in one hour what it would easily take me all day to do. There were lots of plants that needed to be removed as well as a trench that needed to be dug before the trees went in…
As I have done for the past twenty Mother’s Days, I woke up Sunday morning missing my own mother and mother-in-law, both who left this world much too young and way too early in my life. Why is it that you never fully appreciate something until it is gone? Today and always, I especially long for the chance to show them both what wonderful grandsons they share…
Back to my Mother’s Day activities this year…After enjoying a delicious Sunday brunch prepared by my youngest son…
…we headed outside to get my pond up and running for the season…
My son is grilling tonight’s dinner on the BBQ as I write this, to be served with green beans and twice baked potatoes followed by blizzards from Dairy Queen for dessert. Yummmmm….
This Mother’s Day will be capped off by a dinner out tomorrow night with all three sons and my husband. I am a lucky woman and a very proud mother!
