- - - Mother's Day - - -

Hope everyone had a terrific day with their moms, or at least in their honor, today! I made my Mom a funny Jane Austen cartoon card, which she loved. My Dad made her crepes (spinach/cream cheese and strawberry/cream cheese), bought her flowers and two music cd's. And my brother sang one of her favorite Christian songs, signed the card I made for her :P , and bought her chocolate truffles.
Last night we played dominoes until we had eaten too much carrot cake and drunk too much sweet tea, and had a great time in lieu of the fact my brother would be gone from 9 to 5 today at work. After a wonderful breakfast this morning, my Mom and I went outside on the deck and watched/took pictures of all our beautiful birds at the feeders. Gold finches, Cardinals, Red-breasted Grosbeaks, Roufus-sighted Towees, Purple finches, Chickadees, Doves, Sparrows... all so lovely, and my Mom really loves to watch them and listen to them. And the cherry on top of her sundae this morning was that we got to see our first Baltimore Oriole that we've been setting oranges out and waiting for since spring began. ^_^ It was joyous.
And then we did my Mom's favorite thing for the rest of the day... Yard work.
Happy Mother's Day!
