Spring remembrance

Busy May 

   This week is flying by. My hb has a break between semesters and was busy removing old wall paper. It's strange to see our  kitchen and small dining room without the old paper. Fresh paint is in order. 

The wild plum and crab apple trees are in blossom. Two of my favorite Spring flowers....

CRAB APPLE BLOSSOMS

 This is a special weekend here ----Sunday, May 12 is Mother's Day. 

 Remembering  Mom-----Our family  had a big loss three years ago when my mother died. She is remembered with love.  When my Mom was 27 years old, she was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. She had many surgeries over the years.  Mom  was a determined and courageous person. She never let her health problems get her down.  She was 85 years old when she died.  Her spirit lives on in her  3 surviving children,  10  grandchildren and 2 great granddaughters!

Have an enjoyable weekend.....I know many countries have already celebrated Mother's Day. Three cheers to all  the mothers of the world!!

 May means travel time at the PlumCreek Studio. My hb and I will be going to Montreal, Quebec, Canada next week. I'm so excited; I've been there twice as a teenager. (but that's been awhile) 0-;

A bientôt---------Anne

Happy May

May Day tulips from the florists

May Day

I hope you've had a lovely May Day. No May queen or May poles here, just some sunshine and warmer temperatures.  There are many budding trees and bushes here but  nothing is in full blossom yet. 

The tulips are from our local florists. 

Herb garden

The  chives are inching their way up. They are usually the first greenery here after our long, Northern winters. I love putting chives in salads and omelets.

Graduations, Mother's Day and a special trip are coming up for this month. I hope you all will have a creative week and month. Thank you for your thoughtful comments and e-mails.~~~~~ Anne

Hello again

Late April

  I took a bit of a break from blogging and am happy to be back. The news from Boston was very disheartening. I love that city!! May the people of Boston come out stronger for all of their trials and tribulations.

 My aunt and uncle lived there for many years. I have the best memories of visiting them over summer holidays.  My brother-in-law  has been living in a suburb of Boston for the past 18 years.

Shop Update

I've been making many things for my Etsy shop.  Weddings, proms, Mother's Day are all coming up. It's been good to keep busy. I am happy to  put anything in my shop on reserve for you.

Some new things for you.....

I saw some amazing Ansel Adams photographs in a  museum over the weekend. Unfortunately, no photography was allowed.  ~~~~ See you again soon.....Thank you all for your kind comments.~~~~
