The Spring sun is shining, and the birds are singing happily, on this beautiful day :) This morning, we were wishing my mom, Lisa, Alyssa, and Jenn, a happy mother's day, and called my grandma to wish her a happy mother's day too :) Jenn came over, with Mikey and baby Hunter :) They brought some nice gifts for my mom, Lisa, and Alyssa, and we had some gifts for Jenn too :) Jenn, Mike, Mikey, and Hunter gave my mom, a card, and this super neat, solar powered light in a nice jar, with cool colored gems around the jar :) it's a really neat craft :) i gave my mom, a nice basket full of goodies, a happy mother's day card, her favorite candy treats, some lotions and soaps :) i also treated my mom, Lisa, Alyssa, and Jenn, to some nice treats, from dunkin donuts, and mcdonalds :) Lisa and Alyssa went there to pick up some treats :) i gave Lisa, Jenn, and Alyssa happy mother's day cards :)
It was such a sweet morning, as my mom was smiling lots, and she said, "i'm having such a good day!" :) awww! :) my dad slept in a bit, but when he woke up, he gave my mom a happy mother's day card, money, and some candy treats :) Alyssa had brought the triplets over, they were playing out in our front yard, with Taylynn and Mikey :) we felt your loving spirits with us :) It's a beautiful day, as we celebrate mom's, and we think of all mom's on this day, and keep alive, the beautiful loving memory of mom's who have passed on over the years. Their spirits, are very much a beautiful part of this day too. :) i think of my dad's mom, my nana Paula, and how she was such an amazing mom and nana to us all, over the years too, and love to spend some time in nature on a day like today. :) just like my nana Paula loved to enjoy :) We remember the wonderful lady, who helped raise my mom when she was younger, my grandma's sister :) We remember them, and hold them close in our hearts, each and every day :)
it was so nice, spending time with family this morning, and friends with us in spirit :) it's times like this, that are the most precious, and special times, being shared, with hearts full of love, happiness, peace, and joy :) We are blessed to know, so many wonderful friends around the world, who are mom's too :) A very special, Happy mother's day wish to all :) it's been so nice, spending some time outside today too :) i think of these special times, and the blossoming of nature, all around :) spring season, and how wholesome, and joyful it is :) lots of birds, squirrels, butterflies, all out and about this time of the year :) The spring gardens blossoming to life, with the spirit of the season :)
on this beautiful day, i did some yard, and garden work too :) i love to make our front yard, and garden areas look very nice :) i've been blossoming out into our yard and gardens :) in our backyard today, i did some raking, i also cleaned some garden areas, removing leaves from one of our garden beds, and i also got some planters, as the birds were singing happily, i planted flowers seeds in 2 hanging basket planters :) i put one planter on a shepherd's pole, in our garden near the strawberry plants, and i put another planter, on our lilac bush branch :) The seeds, are gonna sprout up, and will grow all spring and summer :) in our garden greenhouse, i planted a nice tray full, of about 9 sunflower seeds :) We have some more sprouts :) in the planters on our raspberry truellis, some nice flowers seeds are sprouting, plus, we have sunflower sprouts, and some more cucumber sprouts in our garden greenhouse :)
There's just something so magical, and special, about the spring season, blossoming to life :) it's refreshing, rejuvenating, and truly like a whole new beginning :) a fresh clean start to a new season of gardening, and the nature that shines :) i've been thinking of how, in my life, that changed a lot about 6 weeks ago, and a quote i came up with, came to my thoughts while i was out, in our gardens today. i thought to myself, "When we get uprooted in life, we must return to our roots" :) for me personally, it's helping bring me a very special balance, and focus, to be amongst nature, and the gardens :) to hear the birds, to feel the spring breeze :) back in 2002, when i had some struggles with ocd, my dad got me back into gardening, and nature, and now, 2015, as i have been facing a really sudden change in my life (breakup in late march), it's family and friends, who are inspiring me to get back to my roots, and my roots are, gardening, nature, to feel my spirit soaring again with sunshine, to feel in tune, and deeply in touch with nature, that's what's gonna continue to help me heal, and to become fresh, and anew again :) i want to soak it up, all season, the healing, the comfort, the joy, peace, and special new memories being planted in a beautiful garden in my heart :)
This afternoon, i did some more garden and yard work :) in our front yard, i did some raking, i also organized our planters area, for some nice planting, this upcoming week :) We got some great planters next to our front steps :) i removed the old plants roots from those planters, and i added in, some new organic soil, to freshen up the planters, and i planted, some nasturium dwarf jewel flowers, 4'O'clock flowers, and this upcoming week, Mikey and Taylynn are going to be helping plant some sunflowers in these planters :) it's gonna be so nice, and a special joy :) We look forward to it :) the gardens are coming along really well :) We're feeling the nature, and gardening energy :) Mother Earth's nature, and how wonderful it is, all throughout the season's :) from autumn to winter, to spring and to summer, the seasons offer so much, and always welcome us, to enjoy nature's beautiful glory, and peace :) my mom and dad, have been spending some time out in the gardens today :) Kayla and Taylynn, went to visit with Taylynn's meme and pepe today : )Taylynn drew and colored a wonderful happy mother's day poster for her meme :) awww! :)
It's a beautiful sunday, celebrating mother's day, and wholesome, special times, with family, friends, and nature :) i want this amazing energy, and spirit to blossom into the upcoming week :) i want to do some more gardening, writing, organizing, and keeping active, and busy each day :) i've had some emotional times over the course of the week, but these experiences i've had, are helping me learn, grow, and blossom into new beginnings, with the most important blessings in my life, family, friends, and nature :) i want to focus on good health, eating well, exercising, and continuing to move forward, more and more, each day :) sometimes in life, such times happen, even suddenly, that can test our strength, and during these times, it's so important to not let any challenges, or rough times, weaken us, but we get stronger, and we blossom more into better days :) my mom is my mentor in life, and she tells me, "Chris, don't dwell, move forward, and remember, you can achieve anything you set your mind too" :) that's a special message, my mom shares with me often, and it gives me strength, and hope :) A very special thank you, for my dear, and lovely mom :) i'm blessed, and thankful to have her in my life, and as my mentor :) Angel friends, thank you all so very much, for all that you do, for my family and i :) We appreciate you all, and we want you all to know, we will always be here, for you and your family's :) i love to help, support, encouragement, and i always hope to be able to inspire others, just like you all inspire me :) BIG GROUP SUNNY SUNFLOWER HUG :) tonight, i'm going to treat myself, to a movie night :) There's many more good times, special moments, and blossoming to look forward too, with family, friends, and nature, in the beautiful garden of life :)

You have been doing some good work in your garden as well. Looking good out there. Laughed on hearing how Mr Squirrel loves the new bird feeder!! Indeed!
Your gifts for you Mom were very thoughtful and loving.
You mentioned that DD green tea\'s different than SB. Sounds like they put some mint into it. Sounds good and refreshing though. Hope your evening is a good one friend and you get a good nights rest. A new week ahead. Much Blessings Greenies
