When I was younger my 2 youngest sisters used to play house and they would refer to each other as "other mother". Now they are grown and they are both terrific mothers, one is even a Nana- she has a 2 year old granddaughter. My third sister is a "step" mother, and no, not in the fairy tale sense either. Her daughter will be getting married next year so we have a family wedding to look forward to.
I had a great Mother's Day, even though I'm not one....My niece and nephew spent the night on Saturday and they both wished me a Happy Mother's Day. Then my dear husband brought me pancakes, yellow roses and a cool card. A family I love who has 3 awesome children gave a book and a beautiful card that made me cry. Even though I was never able to have my own children I am so blessed to be around so many generous people who lovingly share their children with me...I feel like I get to be an "other mother". It's soooooo cool.
Spring is FINALLY here....the rain and snow is done for awhile and the tulips and other flowers are blooming up a storm. I planted impatiens seed and verbena in the hanging basket. I want to see how that goes this year. The birds have going crazy at the feeders and the last few Sundays we've entertaining a couple of ducks in our front yard. They come and eat the bird seed that falls to the ground from the feeders.
