Gardeners and Flowers

They say in life there are gardeners and there are flowers. The gardeners take care of the flowers by watering and nourishing them daily. Gardeners are brought joy by watching they flowers grow and bloom. The flowers, on the other hand, love to be taken care of. They soak in the sun and water and are content with just being pretty. In most relationships one person is usually the gardener and one is the flower. What are you? I feel like both John and I take on on both roles at different times but tomorrow is the one day I can be a flower and not feel guilty about it being all about me. I can just soak in the water and sun and enjoy being a flower. Have a happy Mother's Day tomorrow! Enjoy being a flower!

I LOVE Mother's Day. It's ONE day out of the whole year I don't feel guilty about doing NOTHING. Hope you have a good day with all your men.

PS-I got one of those big cupcake pans. Does it take one cake mix or is there a special mix for it? There's a Sur La Table at the Gateway. HEAVEN..I could spend a lot of money in there.

I love this post. It is so nice to be spoiled on Mother's Day. I slept in , took a nap, did not cook any of the meals, and did not do any dishes.
