happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear mom, happy birthday to you! yes, this is my mom. my beautiful mom whose birthday was yesterday, may 15. (note the block calendar at grandiflora.)
we, (my sisters & i) took mom to lunch at on rice, opened some fun presents, then...
we ventured over to the "garden spot" & tip-toe'd thru the gorgeous plants, & trees, & shrubs & a million gorgeous clay pots in tons of sizes & colors, tons of windchimes, little & BIG garden statues, hanging baskets, baskets with mossy liners, more pots, more flowers, garden pergola thingys made of iron...wow, i'm tellin' ya, there's A LOT. a little overwhelming for the beginner gardener, which is me. however, for my sisters & mother, gardening is definitely their "thing". it is a great place to visit on a sunny day & the help is very helpful. plus, you even get a cute little wagon to tow all of your green garden treasures in.
& if you're really lucky, you'll maybe even bump into one of your best friends, like my mom did. one of her best friends, carol, happened to be there, filling her little wagon! how fun is that??!
here's macki on the hunt for some fun ground cover.
this is my garden spot purchase: a cute little houseplant & a cute little pot to put it in. and for an extra .50 you can go out back & pot your own plant, which is nice, 'cuz who knows how long that plant would have stayed in the green plastic container it came in.
this was a very cool iron bench we saw.
and these were some beautiful pink hydrangeas that were there. after the garden spot, we high-tailed it back to lynden & visited one of our favorite shopping stops: grandiflora. it was a wonderful day spent with some awesome women. thanks girls for the fun day & happy birthday, mom. i love you!
