The tulip garden on Bedford Street is filled with brilliant colors, the apple trees in the backyard are covered with blossoms and the aromas of spring are constant. If it's mid-May, it's time to pay homage to Mom's everywhere. White or Pink? I remember at St. Joseph's Church the tradition was the men wore white carnations if their mom was alive and pink if she had passed. Just about every suited gent carried a flower in his lapel. I thought that was quite cool. I wanted one too.
Moms everywhere... enjoy your day!
I'm cooking mussels in the sun. That's my plan.
the best laid plans gone awry already.......

I'm a mom but I really feel that Mother's Day is a commercially contrived occasion. Every day should be a mom's day, a dad's day, a children's day or just be kind to each other day. I do like your tulips! -- barbara
ReplyDeleteI wish that many of those traditions were still maintained. Thanks for the tulip bouquet!
ReplyDeleteGreat bright colours!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!

The Cardinals and Braves used pink bats today. I wonder if the moms in the stands enjoyed Bud and brats for their Mother's Day brunch.
ReplyDeleteI love tulips. The white and pink carnation tradition is a good one. I would be wearing a pink one.
