Happy Mother's Day!



A couple of years ago . . . errmm, . . . well, ok . . . maybe a f-e-e-e-e-w-w-w-w more than a couple . . . my Mommy was presented with the most wonderful Mother's Day present!   It was her very favorite one . . I'm sure of it!   ;)


Isn't this baby just the cutest?  (You must say yes, or my poor little ego will get bruised!)


It was my Mommy's very first Mother's Day present.  (pssst . . .  do you remember, mommy?  **waiving and blowing kisses at mommy**)


And here is a lovely blue and white (or is that purple and white? ? ?) splashed iris for mom . . . it's one of her favorite flowers . . .  It's the first one I've grown . . . the others are of flowers I snapped several years ago on my trip to Canada.  















                                                                                                           

    I got to visit the Butchart Gardens and they were simply lovely.  I would dearly love to go back some day.  Perhaps I'll post more pics of them one of these days.  If you ever get up to Vancouver Island you must stop to see them!


And here are some purple petunias for my grandmother.  Every time I see them, I am reminded of her.  I remember she seemed to have a sea of them at her pink house.


Happy Mother's Day to my mommy and to all the other moms out there!




























































Here you go, mom!  Enjoy! ! !
