\"SilverySilvery Lupine<\/span><\/p>\n

May is a month of filled with wildflowers in North America so it seems fitting to me that Mother’s Day also falls in the same month. I am very blessed this Mother’s Day because my Mom is here visiting with me.<\/p>\n

There may be a bit of sunshine today and I hope there is so me and my Mom can get out and enjoy some of the beauty that Mother Nature provides us with each and every day.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all the Moms out there for being uniquely you and for the untold and often unsung gifts you have all given us. Not one of us would be here without you all.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
