Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day! It was great. I am still not used to being the Mom on Mother's Day so when people would ask what I had planned I kinda give the blank look of "what?" It started out great, got to sleep in because Brian snatched up Josie as soon as she started to wake up. Sadly he forgot to tell Friday that I was supposed to sleep in and she decided I should be up with the group too. But I got more sleep than usual.

Then Brian made me breakfast and coffee and the three of us sat outside on our deck and enjoyed the weather. Brian had put together a Josie size picnic table the day before and she loves sitting at it.

Then Brian took Josie with him to go to the grocery store and run a few other errands leaving me home to work in my gardens for the WHOLE day. I got to spend the ENTIRE day outside setting up my gardens and putting up edging and planting seeds and plants and root cuttings. I dumped about 8 bags of dirt and just had a great time alone in my garden. I find gardening to be very relaxing for me. I love it. It lets me just think and be alone even if it is only in my own head.

Then Brian grilled up some stakes, steamed some artichokes and made homemade (my mom's recipe) Mac and Cheese. Now that is how you end a Mother's Day.
