Sunflowers

My Mom adored flowers. She could and did grow African violets like nobody's business.

Every Mother's Day, she got pink roses from Dad.

Her favorite Mom's Day gift was when Dad led his kid crew in a daylong effort in a rock garden at our house during which we planted plants so that they spelled out the word "Mom."

She was an autumn baby and along with her passion for pink, she loved fall colors. And one of her all time favorite flowers was the sunflower.

This picture was taken of the sunflower that I brought home with me from the Cape the day of her funeral. I'm rounding the corner on the bling bags and need tags to attach to them for the "To" and the "From."

So Mom's sunflower will grace them.

It sounds as though we're in for quite a wonderful celebration of her life. She's gonna love it.
