Mother's Day Weekend

Pond
Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We had company Friday evening and then had a very relaxing Mother's Day celebration on Sunday. We went to Nana and Papa's house where my Father-in-law grilled a delicious lunch, along with baked sweet potatoes, green beans and an ice cream cake.

They have a beautiful backyard with a koi pond...

Soon there will be plenty of Magnolia blooms.

And Hydrangeas. My favorite thing about Mother's Day are the three special someones who make this celebration possible...
