Happy Mother's Day!

Yesterday hubby and I met my parents to go to the Lilac Festival! I won't see my mom today, so we celebrated yesterday! It was so much fun and every where smelled so good. I love lilacs. My wish for when we bought a house was to have a cherry tree and lilacs. This house had both already so I didn't need to plant them! I have a purple lilac and a pink one here. At the festival my hubby let me get a baby lilac plant. It will have white flowers when it is old enough to bloom. Here is my cherry tree in full bloom right now:
Mom and I also bought handmade glass necklaces. Mine is the tree of knowledge. It's greens and yellows with a black tree etched into it. Mom got a black necklace with these funky designs that looked like a face. My dad and hubby were kind of board that we had to stop at EVERY glass jewelry booth. Yesterday was arts and crafts for sale at the festival. Next weekend is another craft show. We like craft shows and mom and I always enjoy talking with the people and getting ideas for new projects. We saw a lot of jewelry for sale, and we are convinced that my grandmother should set up and sell her stuff. She made both of us (mom and I) the most beautiful beaded bracelets for Christmas.
Today I have to plant my baby lilac outside. Last year I got an even smaller lilac but I never put a stake in the ground to show were it was so it got mowed over... I need to find a big stake before I plant my new lilac! ^_^
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!
