Sunday night – happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day all you mothers out there…

I spent the day working with one of the best mothers I know… Diane and I spent the entire day working on the front gardens.… Normally this time of year we’re actually getting plants in, but it still too cold here. It was very satisfying to have our hands in the dirt all day I got to say… Diane really is a fabulous mother. She’s been a great mother to all of her kids, our dogs, and half of the kids in our town by Proxie . She’s fun, Strong, calm, wise that that that all the things you want from a mama

What’s the dirt digging was done my friend Hannah came over and we took a nice hike up to Libby’s look

I also want to do a shout out to my mama… Judy… Was also one of the best mothers I’ve ever met. Super sharp, generous, and a whole Lotta fun.

I got to talk with her today…

I’m also thinking of my mother-in-law Marcia. This is the second mother’s Day we’ve had since she died… I think of her every day. She was super kind and super generous and left your family very much

So… I want to send my love to every mother out there… Keep doing what you’re doing that at that that will be the more mothers right now !

Nite all, nite Sam
