for my mom

flowers from our yard
from you i learned compassion.  how to throw a party effortlessly.  and how to cook everything.  i have your curly hair and share your love of quaint towns, great restaurants and falling leaves.  give us a quiet, comfortable, fireside chair, and we're home.  give us a piano, and we'll serenade you (with a few finger stumbles).  give us a song, and we'll sing in harmony.  in you i have a friend, a mentor, a confident, an advisor.  you give me your love, unconditionally.  your attention, undivided.  your support, unending. for this, and so much more, i thank you.  kindred spirits, old souls, dear friends.  mother & daughter.

happy mother's day

  3. Cailen, this is such a sweet post for your Mom. Hope you and Mom had a wonderful weekend.

    Love those pictures of your yard. I'm an aspiring gardener so any pics related to plants and flowers, I'm drooling over always~

    P.S. Thanks for visiting & following my blog a while back. I have been absent from the online world for a bit and has just recently getting back on track.
