Spring Break

The kids and I (plus a friend) stopped by to visit Mom Wednesday afternoon. She was out on the back patio enjoying the fine spring weather. Of course, we were all in shorts and t-shirts and Mom was dressed in sweats to stay warm, but the sunshine is so nice. Mom's azaleas are blooming and she has a new dogwood tree waiting to be planted. She went to the county extension plant sale on Saturday and came home with, of all things, a pomegranate tree! Who knew?

And here's the thing I admire so much about Mom: She went early on Saturday so she could hear the lecture about which plant varieties do well in our part of the state. Please remind yourself that Mom is 90 and has terminal cancer. I love that she is learning and growing all the time.

Mental Note: Be like Mom; never stop learning and growing.

P.S.--Happy Birthday, Ruthie!
