Mother's Day

05/07/2012

My mother and I share a wonderful tradition each spring.
We visit Wiethop Greenhouses together and choose flowers to plant.
And this year was no exception...except this time, I brought my camera!

Abraham Lincoln said it perfectly.
Happy Mother's Day to my angel mom!

That jewel-box celosia in photo 3 is very striking.

What a beautiful mothers day tradition! I think, we should establish something like that. It doesn't have to be that day...
