Celebrating Mother's Day Weekend
We had more time together today to celebrate Mother's Day with the family. Tomorrow after church we are doing different things, going in different directions.
The Bishop is coming tomorrow at church and many people are being received into the church. Since my daughter and sister will be among them, that will be a wonderful time in itself.
So having our Mother's Day celebration today worked out better for us.
My daughter made a chocolate cake with fudge frosting. And since we put the wood cookstove on for the cake anyway, she made oven fried sweet potatoes with butter bread for supper.
The high was 52°F today and sunny, 10° cooler than yesterday. There was a breeze that made it feel a bit chillier, so putting on the woodstove did not warm up the house too much for the amount of time we needed it on. We only needed to open some windows for a short while and it was perfect.
After supper and before cake we went outside to see the changes to the yard that my son did for Mother's Day. It was so cool!
He got a lot of beautiful metal flowers of all kinds and sizes to highlight the garden areas and by the front of the house and yard. And an adorable family of stone dragons for the garden by the house. I love all the additions.
We had fun with Luciel and the dogs while we checked out the new things he had put around, adding to what he had done other years. It was such a beautiful day.
We went back inside to open the gifts from my daughters, all kids of sweet things and a cute stuffed dragon from my son.
It was a really good day filled with simple pleasures that uplift the heart and bring a smile to the face.
Stay strong! Simple pleasures make for a simply great day!
