Mother's Day Weekend in Canada and the US~

It's grown since I took this pic:)It's a hero in my garden.

Lungwort..hate that name..so Pulmonaria to me..;)Even that is not attractive a name..

Happy Mother's Day weekend~to those of you who are mothers..or daughters..to people or pets;)

Same old same old here..gardens and teas and cookies..

Great new stamped cookie recipe from Mix and Measure on IG.

You can find it here..I put melted chocolate on the backs of some..

They are sooo good.

So partial to Dark brown sugar now.

The birds are flying around ..so busy making nests emptying my feeders in minutes..lol

Like my chickens..

Only 1 is a laying:(

A bit of a crab here re my Hunter boots..granted I bought them second hand..(like new)..but $$$.and we drove to Neverland to pick them up..

but I have worn them 20 times max..apparently black matte..prone to this..

let's just say they are now strictly GARDEN wellies.

I have  had Walmart wellies that have kept their youth longer than these..

Buy shiny..my daughters have shinier..no sign of wear ..

that's why I am rattling on..beware of matte.

Cleaned the driveway wild area up a bit..it's just unmanageable..a field of ditch lilies and ferns and weeds and Lily-Of-The -Valley..nothing you can eradicate..I tried..

I painted words from Ms.Rumphius on the weathered fence section.. 

Jacques said:"You should paint that fence part first"..I said:" no".

While I was stenciling the words with my Susan Branch vintage stencils..he came out and said..in French: "I suppose it adds to the charm that the fence paint is shabby"..and he meant it:)

10 points!

Things are looking Springy!
