Mommy Dearest!

"You're just like your father."

My Mother taught me about my ROOTS:
"Do you think you were born in a barn?"

My Mother taught me about WISDOM OF AGE:

My mother taught me RELIGION:
"You better pray that will come out of the carpet."

Happy Friday Everyone!
I simply love this time of year! the world around me is like one vast garden!

So grateful that I don't suffer from any Spring allergy ~no sniffing nor 'ah-choo!'!

As usual, I did talk to them! "hello gorgeousss,
ooohhh...you're so preeeeety, hi sunshines & blah-blah-blah..."
I know I'm not alone here, you guys do talk to plants, right?!
Anyway, my dogs always look at me funny when I do that!

"...errr-errr ??? "
Yup~ the whole gang was with me that day to enjoy 'nature glorious nature'!
Must say; it's so hard to capture the five of them together...I tried!!!
