Mothers Day week-end for me is the start of my gardening season.

My lilacs are blooming and everything smells wonderful! (which makes me very happy)

One of my Mothers Day gifts every year is a day filled with labor.  (kind of fitting don’t you think?)

My guys spent all day on Saturday helping me move bushes, plant shrubs and put in my flowers.

We went to three different places to get everything we needed.  (and I still need more)

I think my youngest is a budding landscape architect.

He worked so hard and was so motivated.  He loves working in the yard and takes great pride in it.

For the past three years, he’s had a wiffle ball field in the yard.  He keeps it extremely manicured.

On Mothers Day, we usually go to the park, pick up chicken and have a picnic with the whole family.

This year, the weather called for a chance of rain all day.  So, I decided to have it at my house.

Would you believe just a couple sprinkles?  Didn’t even move us inside.

I had a wonderful and productive Mothers Day week-end.
