MOTHERS DAY

A nice weekend! Everyone celebrates and shows their appreciation to their Mother and/or the Mother of their children. My children brought me flowers and took us out for a wonderful brunch at our local historic hotel. And we thought of our Mothers and Grandmothers, gone on their final reward. Families are precious and appreciated and should be--everyday of the year. But very nice to have an excuse to dress up and do something "special".

Happy May Day!

A chilly day in northern Wyoming! A few white snowflakes decorate the greening grass. But the sun peeps thru sometime during the day, giving us a promise of warmer times to come. The tulips are ready to bloom and the fernleaf peonies seem to grow taller as we watch. Wild bluebelles are blooming in my husband's yard. They were brought here from Iowa over 20 years ago and a springtime reminder of our youth. Many years ago, almost every farm in Iowa has a few acres of timber and the ground beneath the trees was full of wildflowers, some bluebelles like the ones we now enjoy. Our May Day flowers were delivered a day early this year-and we hope they will brighten our friends lives for a day or two. Spring is coming!
