My mother’s day bouquet was bigger than yours….

Happy Mothers Day!

Wow! It’s been awhile since I posted last. We’ve been super busy, sorry to everyone who posted a comment or emailed on the last few posts, that I didn’t reply to.

So it’s mother’s day already. Who here blinked on January 1st and are now suddenly amazed it’s already May? {{{not surprised as entire readership raises hand}}}

My husband has the amazing luck to score loads of free plants only days before mother’s day. Last year a backyard remodel project landed me about 50 “happy mothers day” irises. This year my mother’s day plants arrived in this. It included “happy mothers day” spireah, a cranberry bush; some weird plants that I’m hoping sprout gold and about 100 daylilies.

If you’ve been checking in over the course of the last year, I’m working on a courtyard. And of course in the scheme of all that is this house, it’s not a small project. So for mother’s day, in between climbing trees and spraying the dog with the garden hose, the kids helped me gather rocks for a border and dig holes to plant the “happy mothers day” plants.

Here are the results of today’s efforts:










It’s amazing that every mothers day always ends with me like this.

Oh well, I can’t complain {{ouchie my back!}}. Every year my mothers day bouquet get’s bigger and the flowers bloom longer.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

P.S. Thanks love… for everything.

Happy mothers day!
I remember your mom being so wonderful with her garden.I bet she can't wait to help you with all of your plants:)

A lot of the plants I currently have are from her garden. I keep asking her to help me design this monster, but I think it's too large and she just shudders.

Hope you had a great mothers day!!

Glad you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
So really...when can I move in?
A courtyard too?! It looks beautiful-very European. I imagine there will be many a Hartigan youth wedding in your beautiful courtyard.

I can't even imagine the lawn maintenance you are going to have when all is said and done. Oh my god. But it sure will be pretty!

Happy mom's day to one of the best mom's I know.
