Happy Mother's Day! If you are not a mom ~ you have one!!
Many of our beloved mothers are no longer here on earth, but never far from our hearts. I miss mine every.single.day. When my mind weighs heavy, I sit on my mom's inscribed memorial bench and talk to her in Spanish. Which is getting pretty spotty. No tengo nadie con quién hablar en español.
Winter birch lit trees flank my mom's bench seasonally. They go into storage and get swapped out for teal clay flower pots. The pots are out now, but I haven't planted them yet. I have the plants, but am waiting for temps to stop dipping into the 30'sF. Soon. Very soon.

smells so sweet
My grandkids were out last weekend. The youngest one carries on our family name, passed down for five generations.
My mom get's a lot of visitors, of the winged kind.

Happy Mothers's Day! You have a beautiful flowering Crab in Memory of your Mom:)
That’s a beautiful and sacred spot to remember your mom. 🌺
The tree is gorgeous. What is it? I was thinking Japanese cherry, crabapple..? It reminds me of ours, but the blossoms look even bigger.
Happy Mother’s Day, Aurora! Enjoy your day with your beautiful family (and your namesake, who seems to be following in your footsteps.)
Thanks! Hope you both also enjoyed a very special day.
My mom's memorial tree is a "Show Time" Crabapple. We planted it in 2022. The garden center I bought it from gave me great advice. I just saw it was awarded 2026 Tree of the Year.
Interesting. We planted ours in 2024, but I can’t remember the name. Your blossoms look huge.
