Mother's Day, and a beautiful day it is. Today, I woke to the sun filled rooms of my home, knowing it was going to be one of those perfect days. I was lazy this morning, as I enjoy being on a weekend morning, having my coffee in front of the living room windows especially when the sun shines through. I love taking my time, unhurried and going into the day spontaneously, letting my feelings guide me. I need days as this and they come far and few. My work week is so cramped into schedules, day after day, that a true day of rest is one where I need not look further than I am in any moment of it. Today was such a day.

It felt like a true spring day and I walked my yard, taking time to check all the plants and flowers that have already bloomed. I love to watch it all grow again, each year, and remembering in those tiny sprouts what is going to become. We're all still in awe that the snows which this past winter gave us, is gone. The mountain of snow that had been plowed up all winter long as since melted away, no where to be seen though some damages it has left behind of broken branches and some of the small lights that outlined my Mother's garden. But, it is clear to see, it is truly spring.

Today, it is also Mother's Day and though my Mother remains close to me every day, it is in this day that I can give her special thanks and remembrance of all that she is to me. Though she is not here, still, she is everywhere and she knows my heart. Today, I bought her a bird house for her garden. A little school house, it does appear to be, and hung it from a tree. I suppose it is called a bird feeder, as the chimney opens and there the house can fill with seed. It felt wonderful to be outside and I planted many colorful perennials such as tulips and pink lilies, to name a few. It seems forever since I've been outside in the sun, just playing and relaxing. It is a wonderful Mother's Day.

I love You, Ma.

I was glad you had this beautiful day to yourself, and your thoughts, esp. this mothers day, and your thoughts of Ma. she is Always with me too, esp. on a day like today, she IS ALWAYS with us. I too, gave her so much thought today, thank you for calling me, you and I always have the same feelings, without saying the words. Love you, Barb
feelings without words, yes. words without feelings, no. there are times that silence says more than the best of words ever will. for in silence are the words of love. that is what i hear from you, barb. and with that i have no gripe. :)
Hi, Griper, thank you for the comment, I have often wondered who you were, you seem to really understand my Sister and I. Your words of wisdom,make so much sense, I always re-read your comments. Stay intouch with us. Barb
as the summer has recently arrived, I have to admit, as "corny" as it sounds, I think of nana and the camp on the lake often this time of year... I can smell the campfires in the area... reminds me of when I was little. I must look weird when I stick my head out the window smelling the air! You don't think of that when you are young.. but I sure do think of it now...
