Give Me My Flowers

It's been a few days since I posted because I've been helping my mom, she's not doing so well these days. She recently retired but unfortunately hasn't really been able to enjoy it much. My mother loves cooking and gardening. While I'm nowhere near the cook or gardener she is I've come to appreciate her talents and passions. The Clematis pictured below is from her yard. It is climbing the trellis beside her mailbox. Mom always says, "Give me my flowers while I can enjoy them." So flowers and plant related items are the gifts she loves most to receive.
