So much has happened in the last few days, I couldn't wait to share it all with you! First of all, less than a week ago, hubby and I gave ourselves a very much needed early Mom & Dad's day present (and early anniversary present)! :-) We got a new bed! I can't tell you how much better I am sleeping now on my gel-infused memory foam! It's like heaven! No picture, but I did want to share.:-)
Then on Saturday morning was the Ladies Luncheon at church at 11:00. Those in charge of setting it up went ALL OUT! It was just delightful!
I left early because Yvonne had made 2:00 reservations at Chantilly Tea Room for an early Mother's Day tea for us! Such a sweet thing to do and we had an amazing time! You may remember me posting about Chantilly before. Check Chantilly out
HERE We've been several times and it's always wonderful! I couldn't have had a more wonderful sharing time with my sweet daughter!
Yesterday, actual Mother's Day, then was kind of quiet. It was a good thing because I had sprained my ankle the day before watering the sage bush out front! :-) I spent the day with my leg elevated and using an "ice pack" filled with three cups of water and one cup of rubbing alcohol. It gets really COLD but doesn't freeze solid so you are able to mold it around the area where needed more easily. It's still sore, but getting well fast! :-) I am a dufus! All week I got some great flower photos that I want to share, and I also managed to get some bird photos I will be sharing for Wild Bird Wednesday. Go by and visit
Today's Flowers to see many more wonderful blooms from so many places! Mine are desert flowers a la late spring....we are actually moving into triple digits this coming weekend! :-( It isn't the spring most people have, but it also celebrates Mother's Day week. So enjoy! I hope every Mom out there had a lovely Mother's Day, as I did!

| Branches of the Palo Verde tree out front. Notice the little orange parts of the flower. |

You have so many beautiful, colorful blooms! Your Mother's Day sounds wonderful! I hope your ankle is feeling better, soon.
Your flowers are lovely! And the luncheon looks like fun and yummy! Glad you will be sleeping better on your new bed! Have a happy week!
Really beautiful blooms Marie!! I love those tea rooms, lunch there is always extra special. That's a beautiful picture of you with your daughter, you both look so happy!!
Looks like you had a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend --even though you sprained your ankle.
The lunch at Chantilly must have been wonderful (great photo). I love tea rooms --and used to go to one that I loved when we lived in Texas.
I am on the mend from my surgery --but it's going slower than I had hoped.. Oh Well---with each day, there is an improvement.
Hugs,
Betsy
That cactus is extraordinary!!! Beautiful.
Oh how I remember those Palo Verde blossoms...in our yard in Tucson...it was like yellow snow!! Seriously.
Hope your ankle is feeling better by now.
Lovely! SO glad you enjoyed your Day!!!

Thank you so much for sharing those pretty blossoms with Today's Flowers Marie. They are gorgeous! This is a wonderful post, glad you had a lovely Mother's Day, and oh no, you sprained your ankle? Me too!!! I am still trying to recover from it and check the swelling every day. That's a good tip about the water and rubbing alcohol. I will have to remember that. A sweet photo of you and your daughter :) And the new bed, glad you are getting a good night's sleep. It's amazing what a difference it makes to a good night's sleep. Sweet slumbers :)
The cactus flower is awesome. Love it. :)
Lovely flowers! Glad your mother's day was nice!
