"There is no friendship, no love like that of the mother for her child."


My mom, Saiah and Me

We celebrated Mother's Day with a nice BBQ dinner at our house on Friday night. Mom, Saiah and I started our day with an annual trip to the Ashland Greenhouse to buy the flowers we needed to beautify our yards! I always find myself wanting to buy more than I really should. It is amazing how fast it all adds up!! I came home this year with an assortment of impatiens, fuchsias, petunias, snapdragons, alysum, verbena, columbine, and geraniums. As a general rule of thumb here in the valley, it is generally considered "safe" to plant flowers outside after Mother's Day weekend. It is sometimes hard to wait that long to start adding color to my yard and pots!! I'm thankful that my mom has instilled in me the desire to plant flowers. I've still got such a long way to go before my pots and yard look anything like her creations!

Jason did a perfect job grilling chicken and veggie shish kabobs that were delicious! We ended the evening with a game of Apples to Apples. I truly enjoyed my day. I am blessed with an amazing mother and wonderful daughter.
