Happy Mothers Day Mom

This is my mom in the pink jacket with my brother and sister and i in tow. I think we are in Copenhagen at an outdoor farmers market. I remember her buying me a stuffed bear. She looks so stylish! She still is.
This is my mother up in Montana a couple months after she and my father were married.
On the plane to Europe. That's me sticking my tongue out . My sister and I had matching dressed in different colors. Jimmy had a tie on. That's how old this is, when we use to dress up on the airplane. Being that my Dad was a pilot we got to ride first class most of the time. But the downside of that is we flew stand by. I remember getting bumped late one night and only having the clothes were wearing . Our suitcases were off sitting at some airport that we were suppose to be at. Dad went and bought us toothbrushes. We slept in our underwear. The upside to that way of traveling? Hot fudge sundaes of course.
And my mother with my sister Wendy and brother Jimmy. Mom, I just wanted to say how proud I am to have you as a mother. You always are telling me how proud you are of me. I am here to tell you how PROUD I am to have a mother like you. I love you so much!! I had so much fun when you were here. Thanks for being my Mother.

Sunflower and Sweet peas, metaphors


All of a sudden everything seems to be blooming. i remember in April i was so excited to cut flowers and bring them inside, now I can`t keep up with them..This year I will be focusing on seeds. I am waiting for the delphinium and lupine to dry up so I can harvest them..I have become such a frugal gardener, but it has paid off. With a little ( alot for me) i am and Aries for heavens sake! Anyway, with Mike starting his own company a few years ago I had to learn to multiply my flowers, and start many from seeds. This has grown to some sort of addiction. I get way more satisfaction knowing that I had something to do with the plant from the beginning. There are so many seeds that I use to look over, or never taught to wait for them to mature on a plant. I would just rip them out, and buy "new" again. This gardening thing is good..it has so many metaphors about life it amazes me.. it just took me forty two years to start living life, instead of doing life. and thats been the best part of the whole process. when i sold my business my mom told me good, now you can start smelling the flowers instead of selling them. and you know what mom?? I am.
