Mothers ! | Cohn-zone

Happy mothers day to all you mothers out there. I know its one of those schmaltzy made up holidays.. but I like it.. It’s nice to take a day to think of those who gave us life.. and breakfast..

We had a great day.. our gift to Diane was to spend the day working in the garden with her.. which was incredibly fun and grounding. Diane is such a wonderful mate and mom.. it was fun digging in the dirt with her all day.

we took an early mornign run, then headed out to weed the front garden.. a few hours later, gabe woke up and we went in and had a yummy crepe breakfast..

as always, sam was with us in spirit.. we light the candle to invite him in.. I felt him here.. and not here.. so strongly all day

Gabe and I needed superpowers for gardening.. so I resorted to an old cohn family recipe… grape juice and orange juice mixed and stirred with a green tinkertoy (though I had to substitute a green chopstick)

then it was back outside to work.. about 8 hours total..

we weeded and mulched one of the front gardens,

mulched and weeded part of the beds next to the barn..

got the pool cover off and started filling the pool (though we’re still having occasional frosts)

dog the turf off of our crazy septic plant, lined it, put down garden cloth and mulched it..

took down the rest of the storm windows (we have over 300 plates of glass around here)

and I fixed Diane’s fountain.. a mothers day present which max, sam gabe and I chose for her together…

mid day we took a break to talk to max, and our parents.. Max was visiting my folks with Jac and his boat buddies Dave and Amy . .. so we did a facetime chat with him. We got to speak to my mom … and wish her a happy moms day.. Shes a great mom…

we love you judy !!!

here are some flowers that Max and Jac picked out for her.. I was so gld he was down with granda on mothers day..what a good kid !
