human souls than to feel that
they are joined for life -
to be with each other in
silent unspeakable memories.
~George Eliot
Saturday was spent getting
hot, dirty and sun burnt...
I pulled weeds,
rearranged planters, finally
bagged all the onions that
were drying on tables,
rearranged tables and chairs,
made plans for another herb
bed and a spot for more flowers,
my yard looks nice!
I put up several jars of tiny
cucumbers to ferment, following
the recipe in Nourishing Traditions,
fed my sour dough starter for
the first time and have been
pouring over recipes to try next
week.
Sunday has brought rain falling,
vases of flowers, wondering what
is for dinner as that is their
department tonight. Hugs and
well wishes from these grown
people who I still think of as
babies.Tracing feet so I can
finally order these. Tonight is huge
bowls of popcorn, homemade ginger
ale and the season finale of
Survivor.
I wish all the mother's the most special
of days and I hope you are making
great memories!
Joining with Amanda for her
weekending post.
Happy mother's day, my friend!!!

Happy Mother's Day, Tracey! Sounds like you have a wonderful day planned.
ReplyDeleteToday I received word that my little brother had his little girl. Wishing I was back in AZ to be there, but enjoying our time here so much. You must tell me how you like those shoes. They are on my very long list.

ReplyDeleteHope you too had a wonderful mother's day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day, Tracey. Sounds like a wonderful weekend in the garden. Cute shoes!
ReplyDeleteYour falling rain sounds nice as we climb well over 100 degrees here in Arizona. Sounds like a perfect, peaceful weekend and Mother's Day. (I am wondering how you make homemade ginger ale). Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a perfect Mother's Day weekend Tracey. It wasn't Mother's Day in the UK we had ours in March but my darling daughter Hannah must have seen it on a calendar somewhere and got confused. We'd already celebrated it... She came home for a visit especially this weekend...It was wonderful. She's still my baby but a wonderful friend too and a really good person. Like you we made some great memories this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to hearing how you get on with your sourdough...I started a fresh one using spelt flour...It seems to be thriving but at a much slower pace...I hope it survives.
Love the shoes by the way.
Have a happy week,
Deb
What a wonderfully productive and fun filled weekend!
ReplyDeleteI've got to get around to preping my sour dough starter sometime.
A lovely Mother's Day weekend!
ReplyDeleteI hope they made you a great dinner :-) I love that shoe company, can't wait 'til I can get my own pair.

ReplyDeleteNow *that* is a satisfying Mother's Day weekend! And I'm going to be ordering a pair of those shoes too, but have to wait until late fall. Please do tell us what you think of yours once you've worn them for a spell.
