Happy Mother's Day

The past few weeks have provided the most stunning

spring flowers we've seen around here in a long time.

I thought I'd send a few Instagram flowers

your way for Mother's Day.

According to Saipua, this is a quince called Cameo.

Tulips at the Boston Marathon Memorial.

I didn't think you'd mind a little chocolate.

White lilacs grew outside just between our

back door and my grandmother's house.

They're always special.

Dogwood.

After a heavy overnight rain, the lilacs

were hanging like clusters of grapes.

And the maple and cherry flowers were left

in colorful puddles on my neighbor's driveway.

A massive white Wisteria.

And my my favorite nostalgic Mother's Day flower.

No matter where I am, the scent turns me into a 7-year-old

playing outside my grandmother's house. 

Happy Mother's Day.
