Lilacs.

I'm so sorry that I have been M.I.A. for awhile. I had a medical issue a few weeks ago and spent a few days in the hospital and it's taken me awhile to bounce back. I am fine now but needless to say I wasn't my usual self for a bit. I am finally feeling re-cooperated...just in time to see the whole world burst into bloom! I am so excited for the warm weather and all the flowers. There was a little baby bunny in my driveway the other morning and a newborn pony at the farm up the street. It's so refreshing and a I have a great sense of relief that the long winter is over and it's a time to start over. I think I'm most excited for the lilacs!

Happy Mother's Day.

I wasn't able to spend the day with my mom today because I was working but I did get to talk to her. We are planning to get together during the week to celebrate. We have had our trials and tribulations and ups and downs. We have given each other the silent treatment and at other times shared too much. We have laughed and cried and loved and hated. But through it all, I am so grateful that she is my mother. She has been through so much in her life and has overcome and become such an inspiration to me. She is the most creative, talented and genuinely beautiful and honest person I know. I can only hope to become half the woman she is. She is my best friend. I can't imagine it any other way. I love you so much mom!
