The nursery

After lunch yesterday, we went to a big nursery here to check out some trees. There were plenty of other cool things to check out as well. They had some awesome garden statues, benches, and other ornamentation. This was one statue (the book part is up on a pedestal) that I thought was pretty cool.



There was also a neat building with a big water wheel by the koi pond. The kids liked looking at the fish there.



I also thought these bird feeder/bird baths were pretty.



We didn't get a tree...yet. But we had a lot of fun walking around checking things out.

Sunday Citar ~ Happy Mother's Day!

It's Sunday again! What a beautiful day to honor Mom with some quotes! Join in the Citar fun, brought to you by Tabitha at Fresh Mommy.



"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." ~ Washington Irving

This is my mom with my kids a few years ago. I'm so blessed to still have her in my world.
