Recapping Mother's Day


 Recapping this past Mother's Day, Daughter L got me some pruning shears noticing that I needed new ones.  I appreciate practical gifts as well as flowers.

We all met up for a nice dinner prior to the Maple Leafs game which they unfortunately lost.  

I have a memory of going to L's house a few weeks ago and weeding near her robin's nest.  I saw the Mother frantically fluttering around and just clued in later on, bad me.  The robins have now hatched by the way.

Enjoy your Victoria Day long weekend, happy gardening!

Pruning can be very addictive cutting off branches and dead flowers

What a thoughtful Mother's Day. Pruning shears are definitely a useful gift, and a nice dinner together is always special. It's wonderful news that the robins have hatched.

I just water plants and that is all the gardening I do, because my arthritis is so bad.
