Flowers with Love


Just a quick post today featuring some of the flowers I received for Mother's Day. The white lilacs were not a gift, but are from our son and daughter-in-law's garden where we enjoyed a great brunch cooked by the men in the family and a sunny afternoon outside. 

An azalea plant from my husband, orchids from my daughter and son-in-law, and red roses from my son and daughter-in-law. And a phone call from my daughter in Spain. What a perfect day, surrounded by love. I am so blessed.

Late afternoon Tim and I went for a walk on the beach - it truly felt like summer, with a few brave souls swimming and many families picnicking and enjoying the glorious weather. 

Linking to Mosaic Monday and hoping you all had a wonderful Sunday, whether you celebrated Mother's Day or not.

  7. Your flowers are beautiful. I see that you have a head start on the garden with the new azalea bush. A walk there at the end of the afternoon looks like perfection.

  10. Beautiful flowers all but the lilacs are my favorite for their perfume. I'm imagining them right now because I can't grow them here in the south where it's too warm and humid. They thrived in my garden in England growing up - perhaps that's why they are so loved - memories again!
