Snow in May?

So they are calling for snow tomorrow. I don't know who "they" is, but I already don't like them. Let's face it - snow this late in May is wrong. Snow at anytime in May is wrong.

It's supposed to be May Flowers and we're still talking about snow. I bought a house with a pool and it's snowing in May. Can I get a weather refund? Will anyone guarantee me sunshine and warm days till November?

The one bright side is that the bain of my existence (staining our screen room and deck" is not possible in the snow!!! From that perspective let it snow, let is snow, let is snow - maybe I'll dig out the ski's, but that would mean cleaning the basement....

The Essence of Mother

Happy Mothers Day to all moms and moms to be out there who have given the gift of life.

Remarkable thing mothers.

Perhaps the most complicated and intense creature on the face of the planet.

They can go from being the most caring, nurturing living thing you've ever seen to the most fierce and vicious assassin if something is threatening their child.

Mothers are tender yet firm.

Mothers are part teacher, doctor, lawyer, drama coach,bus driver, martha stewart, maid, chef, pack horse and the list goes on.

Then mothers become grandmothers and the feelings and actions start all over again.

Quite literally - none of us would be here without mothers, but more importantly none of us would become functioning members of society, caring and compassionae or committed to a cause - without our moms guidance and firm hand along the way.

Thanks to my mom, grandmother and to Ben's mom for everything you do.

Thank you is not enough!!
