Mother's Day

Every year, for the past 5 years my Mother's Day tradition has always been to go to church, then out to lunch with my boys then they take me shopping to buy flowers for my garden. Each year I buy a different variety to put in my window boxes and containers. I love that my perennials in my flower beds all bloom at a different time of the season so all spring, summer and fall something is always in bloom. This year I went with all purple flowers...they just looked so healthy and vibrant. I love the feel of the fresh dirt on my hands and under my nails...it reminds me of my grandmother(s). I love that my boys always want to help me and that Steven stands there and watches as I dig into what makes me happiest the most on Mother's Day. Thanks boys for another great Mother's Day...without you...I wouldn't be a mama:)
