Mother’s Day: The Gift Of Flowers

Amanda — Mon, 09 May 2011 00:27:30 +0000

I’ve never been accused of having a green thumb. I am admittedly the murderer of many, many, many plants. When I hear others ooh and aha over their blooms and bulbs I get a bit jealous I admit. I really don’t understand the whole flower thing, but I do appreciate the beauty. I think the fact that I don’t have the keenest nose may be a reason for my lack of enthusiasm with flowers. I just don’t smell things unless they are super strong.

Today, however, is Mother’s Day and I have been given many, many flowers and the extraordinary thing is that I am smelling the flowers so easily. I get a whiff with a slight wind blowing. It is beautiful and extremely uplifting to smell such sweetness. Maybe this is what all the fuss is about!

Thank you Hubby and girls for my flowers, the laughter from today and for being a wonderful family.

Green Thumb Girls

We have hit Spring and I am as happy as can be! A few 80 degree days followed by rain, rain and more rain! All the winter gear is put away and the capri’s are out along with new T shirts. Today my mom and I cleaned all my windows (I have a lot of windows!) and we planted some flowers.

I should clarify that my mom did most of the planting. She didn’t pass down her green thumb. I tend to kill plants, especially inside plants, but I can magage a few annuals and some hanging baskets. The house looks transformed with color and life.

The girls love to help with planting of the flowers. The joy on their faces is amazing.

Yeah Spring! Come on Summer!
