Mother's Day Sunday

 If you celebrate Mother's Day....I hope you had a very nice one!

Mine was very lovely, and my roses bloomed just in time!

(above)--pretty ribbons I got for Spring/summer 

Wrapping up little presents for Mother's day....and our resident woodpecker stopped in. He is loud!

Did a Dolly Parton theme for daughter's present. She got cake mixes and icings, a Dolly "cup of ambition" (from the 9 to 5 song) coffee cup, and a Dolly book.

Got Fairy Granddaughter this children's book:

Daughter and Fairy Granddaughter got me this Pioneer Woman drink mug, it's so big and colorful, I love it!

I had a new dress to wear, which made me happy

.....and yes we still honor the old traditional Southern custom of corsages for Mother's day. A white one if your Mother has gone on to Heaven, and a red one of your Mother is still living. Little Fairy Granddaughter was very proud of her little red corsage she wore to church. And of course, it's a day for pearls. We are so old fashioned. LOL

All the mothers at the church service were honored with pretty fans which were passed out. I love fans, so I loved that present.

Mr. Front Porch put out a big bucket of ice and cold bottles for us. They DISSAPEARED QUICKLY. There was vanilla root beer, regular root beer, grape soda and a few others, I think. I forgot to get creme soda, I love creme soda!

corn bubbling in a big pot---we all love corn on the cob here. Smothered in BUTTER. LOL

I made a big bowl of "tater" salad the day before. And deviled eggs.

Mr. Front Porch grilled for us....cheeseburgers, steaks, and salmon.

key lime pie for dessert

Fairy Granddaughter's Pa-Paw brought home sweet "taters" the day before, and she had a new pair of garden gloves.....so she couldn't wait to get out in the garden to help plant those!

I got a pretty card, delicious supper, cherished time with our daughter and Fairy Granddaughter, a new dress, and .........................................THESE!!

meet the new babies of the flock. This is Rose and Blanche. They are keeping me busy. Downy soft fluff-balls, noisy, and so sweet.

tiny baby figs, just starting, on the fig tree

And remember these little dainty white flowers I couldn't identify, and nobody else really knew either....well a lady nearby correctly identified them as BLACKBERRIES!

Daddy bluebird--keeping his family fed and happy

our babies fledged not too long ago. I am hoping a new family now comes to nest in the vacant house.

Hope your week  has been real nice, and enjoy your weekend. Thanks for coming to visit me!
