Mother’s Day 2012

I had a fabulous mother’s day, complete with daughter dancing in her recital, time spent with the family, a lovely mother’s day brunch, a beautiful card from my son, and gift from my mother.  So, the quatre-quarts didn’t turn out the way I envisioned it.  I’ve come to terms with that, and will go back to the drawing board.  But there were so many pluses this weekend, it balances out.  My husband bought me a small lavendar plant, which I replanted into a larger pot and is sitting on our terrace.  Oh, how I would love to turn my little terrace into a slice of my grandmother’s garden in France.  It’s all a work in progress, but  this weekend reminded me of what a lucky mom I am.
