Mom’s Flowers

My Mother likes flowers.  Here are some photos of her flowers just a few days ago.

A bed of Petunias still blooming their hearts out.

Her Morning Glories are out in the open and sadly they froze…BUT

I made a birthday card for her so she can remember how pretty they were.

My Mom is 86 today…we will go for lunch with all my cousins and we will have pie.  Dad will come along he likes Sour Cream and Raisin Pie too and he was 89 just a few days ago!Blog Signature

    I love those "mums"...what kind are they? And her purple pansies were gorgeous...how thoughtful of you to make her a card with your photo. I bet she loved it! My ex's grandfather loved raisin pie and it was never on any menu around where he lived so I would make him one on his birthday. Have a great day and wish your Mother and Father a very Happy Birthday!

    You did say they got all their events out of the way just in one month. Your mom's flowers are doing great. Sour cream raisin is one of my favorites but I like all pie. The glories have a great deep color.

    Happy Birthday to your Mother who is a couple months younger than I am! I see where you get your talent for raising flowers! I share your apparent family love of PIE! Yum yum.

    Beautiful flowers! Happy Birthday to your mom, and belatedly to you papa, too. I have always preferred pie to birthday cake. Not so sure about raisin though!

    Happy birthday to your Mom. Some flowers are developed to be late bloomers and the warm weather doesn't hurt.

    Your mom's flowers are beautiful, that's for sure! And the card you made with the morning glories on it, is so lovely. Wish I was going along for those birthday treats.....I sure love sour cream raisin pie and can rarely, if ever, find it around here! We've had it at the Norske Nook over in Minnesota a couple of times, but that was a long time ago! Heavenly! Do enjoy your fun outing. Wishing your parents very Happy Birthdays!

    How wonderful to reach that age so gracefully! Not going to take part in the sour cream and raisin pie, however. Glad your mom is able to enjoy her flowers. My mother's last effort was to trip her rose bushes in October.
