Happy Mother’s Day!
Wishing all the wonderful Moms a wonderful day filled with love and relaxation 💕❤️🧡💛💐 !
Today, on this very special day honoring Moms, I would like to share this poem I discovered titled “To be in my Mother’s garden again.” This poem spoke to me immediately as my Mom was an avid gardener and a botanist who grew all kinds of flowers, vegetables and herbs in her tiny garden patch, and enjoyed all things nature 🌿🌱☘️💐.

Please allow me to share …
Please allow me to share a memory from yesteryear… a Spring Tea with my friends from last year. Every year in April three of my friends host a tea and brunch for their friends to celebrate spring, and this year the plan was to host it this week. The date was set and invites ready to go, but as you know the pandemic had other plans, and the event had to be canceled. However since this is the week that we were to have our annual Spring Tea I thought I would share some fond moments and fun pictures from last year’s soiree. Enjoy ☕️🌺🌸.

Happy Easter!
It’s Easter Sunday and though it’s not our typical Easter celebration, we do have much to be thankful for. Our world is coming together against a common enemy, the corona virus. When was the lat time the entire world stood together in solidarity? In the true meaning of Easter, let us celebrate the arrival of Spring’s hope and the victory of good over sin.
“The very first Easter taught us this: that life never ends and love never dies.”
