To Mothers, near and far,
May you be loved and blessed, remembered and embraced,
And comforted, always.
In my posy ring, for you, I have placed lavender, heuchera, Mexican orange blossom and feijoa leaves, all freshly picked from my garden on this chilly autumn morning. The fruit baskets contain Taylor’s Gold Pears and Satsuma Mandarins ( not from my garden 🙂 )

that is such a precious arrangement! i like the monochromatic soothing green colors. z
Thank you. I found the colours very soothing too and a reminder that even in autumn, the green goes on, in more parts of the garden than we realise with a casual glance.
hey
i just typed a reply, and it vanished! this slow connection is going to raise my pulse/blood pressure!
some friends have had some frustrating legal issues here in ecuador, and i sent them the ‘spanish red tape’ that you shared. that is such a great video. thanks again for sharing it!

I am glad you share it still. It helps lighten the load.
Lovely bouquet! I am so thankful to my mum. Happy Mothers’s day to you!
Thank you. I hope it is a lovely day for you too.
I am still singing!!! Happy Mother’s Day! I am so glad that we can celebrate together.

Yes, it is on a different day in the UK. But, mothers are important on any day, so you and your mother can share my wish list for mothers today and always.
We will thank you! 🙂
A lovely posy
Thank you. Trying to make the most of what is available in the garden 🙂
Beautiful tribute, Gallivanta!!
Thank you and thanks to mothers everywhere; past, present and future.
My mother passed on two years ago in May, gone but never forgotten.
Exactly! We always carry our mothers with us in our hearts, in a look or gesture, in a saying; sometimes in a bad habit ;). I wonder if you would enjoy this link
to Songs that my Mother taught me by Dvorak.
Sad but also very sweet.
Lovely! I frequently pick flowers and herbs from my yard and garden and bring them inside. They are my favorite guests! Happy Mother’s Day! Joanne
And a Happy Mother’s Day to you too, and your mother, of course. That is lovely to think of flowers/herbs in the house as guests!
Lovely and delicate leaves arrangement. You are so talented. Gallivanta.
Thank you for your kind comment.
A beautiful tribute to mothers everywhere, thank you. I have just spent a week with mine – she will be 70 in September and is enjoying increasing success as an artist – at her latest exhibition she sold 18 paintings! What an inspiration she is to me and my sister.
This is wonderful news. Your mother is an inspiration for all of us.
A lovely setting.
Thank you. There isn’t much in the garden at this time of the year but I found enough for a little posy ring vase.
I love the way that Mothers’ Day is celebrated on different days in different countries. It means that there is more than one day in the calendar year where me take some special time to think of our mothers. As I am thinking of yours right now. I have never made an oven cloth to match those ones with the different stitches in coloured wool.
Mothering Sunday is a special time,too, with its own origins and traditions. Oven cloths….well, I have spent the last 6 months looking at a half -finished one! Wondering if I am ever going to finish it. I will remember your mother tomorrow, and, you, too!
