Sounds like you had a wonderful day, so glad that you did that for yourself.These are beautiful photos.
Where are you off too? Have a wonderful time.xoxo
I would have loved to take that ride around with you lo. Mothers day was very different for me this year. I should have done something like you, definetly finishing it off with a scoop of ice cream!
I hope to see that cherry tree painted sometime!
Xoxo
Dear BS,
We share so much....you know my day was a lot like yours....my Mum now gone for 28 years....except I didn't take photos - or have ice cream! (Darn it.. I should have!)
I echo Lori - YOU could make a magical painting from that Cherry Tree....
I hope we connect tonight.
Love, always,
