Washing away the pollen and waiting for flowers to bloom
Eating a super delicious, healthy meal made with only local ingredients from the Farmers and Fish Markets - Thank you, Madison and Steve, for preparing it!
Watching and waiting
And celebrating! May God Bless Pope Leo XIV!
Spending time at the beach, reading and watching the waves, finding peace in the continuity, and the comfort they bring
And seeing this amazing sight on the way home
To all the mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, those waiting to be, those praying to be, and those missing their own...Happy and Blessed Mother's Day. I am blessed every single day to be a mother,
And to have had the very best!
“To My Mother
You too, my mother, read my rhymes
For love of unforgotten times,
And you may chance to hear once more
The little feet along the floor.”
Billie Jo
What a beautiful post. Happy Mother's Day to you Billie Jo!! I know your children will spoil you this weekend and you deserve every bit of it. Hugs as I know you'll be missing your mom. xo
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day! I hope your day will be filled with so much love and everything you deserve.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day. I have been thinking about Mom more than usual this week and I know it is because of the holiday.
ReplyDeleteWe went out after church on Mother's day, but did not do the usual restaurant thing. Instead we all met at a local Subway which had real tables and chairs, ate sandwiches and talked and laughed about not having to cook nor be in an over crowded restaurant.
Then we would go out after church the following Sunday to a real restaurant and have what we called Mother's Day part 2.
What a sweet post. Love all the photos. Have a Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonder Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteThose views?! The sunset and the waves? Um... hang on, let me consider moving to Maryland please! Your kids are so lovely and so is your mother. I am sure this will be the most bittersweet Mother's Day on record in your life but I will cover you in prayer and hope that you find comfort in the fact she is with you still.
ReplyDeleteHappy mother's day! Those beach views are wonderful as is that stunning sunset.
ReplyDeleteI love a black door! Your porch looks so inviting:) Praying you have a sweet Mother's Day. Praying your heart is full as you remember your own mom. I know this one will be difficult but savor all the beautiful memories. Hugs to you -
ReplyDeleteGreat post Billy Joe.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!!

I hope you have many many more weeks like this!!
Your home looks so inviting. and your beach photos are wonderful! My two favorite are the sunset, and the one with the brilliant blue sky and the bird flying in the center. This is a wonderful photo of you and your Mom.
ReplyDeleteRobert Louis Stevenson: my mother introduced me to his poems when I was a little girl and then I found a book of his rhymes for my children when they were small. Sometimes I now will quote one of his verses to my husband, who gives me a quizzical look.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteAll your photos are beautiful. Happy Mother's Day. :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely post. Happy Mother's Day to you!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day! Have a beautiful weekend :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother’s Day! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a beautiful weekend and a Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beach scenes, but the best? Family photos. How blessed you are to have your children close by. This will be a hard Mother's Day for you and for Dennis and I. How do you celebrate adequately the women that molded you and your hearts when you were younger. My Mom has been gone for 36 years and I still miss her intensely at times. My Mom-in-law has been my Mom since I was 15 years old, over 50 years, and this will be our first without her. I just can't imagine it.
ReplyDeletePraying for peace and love for all Mom's.
Blessings and love,
Betsy
Gorgeous beach scenes and the waves look so inviting. Your dish of fish and veggies looks so healthy and GOOD. Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend and prayers for you Billie Jo as I know that this mother's day is one of special memories of your mom.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Mother's Day. What gorgeous beach scenes. This was my first Mother's Day without my Mom and it was tough at moments.
ReplyDeleteSending love to you, Billie Jo, on your first Mother's Day without your mom. Love all the pics.....especially Pope Leo. I have not seen that one yet, beautiful.
