Photography 52 - 20

Week 20 of photos included Mother's Day and some spring gardening 


My beloved's on Mother's Day.  I feel so blessed to be their mom, and I can hardly believe I've been a mom for 16 1/2 years.  That just doesn't seem possible.   We had a really nice time with my family where my husband and brother made us a dinner of grilled steak, crab legs, twice baked potatoes, salads and trifle for dessert.  They did good :)


My brother and I and our mom.  She's a gem.  


The bruisers :)  Oh I just love this picture.  Our youngest son still missing a tooth, and our little nephew who knocked out a tooth by accident. So they have mirror image smiles.  They are so cute!


Sweet little picture of my little button-nosed niece.  


 Ladder ball - my husband put together this game called Ladder Ball, have you heard of it?  It's fun, you have to swing a linked pair of golf balls onto a PVC pipe "ladder" for points.  



Want to see my early spring garden?  Some tulips and some grapevine hyacinth (muscari).  You can see that some bunnies have been snacking on my tulips.  grr.  

 

Lovely bleeding hearts.  They are just starting to bloom.  



These tulips will be done soon, so I had to grab a few shots of them.  


My sister-in-law gave me these dahlias for Mother's Day.  They are so pretty!

One of our hanging baskets.  We found this gorgeous basket of fuchsia.  They are a gorgeous colour combination of cream and deep pink - almost a burgundy.
