“Happy Mothers’ Day”
To All Our Wonderful Readers
.
We hope every one of our readers is having a wonderful Mothers’ Day as we are at the NewHartfordPlus HQ.
Our day began with Bob using his new lawn mower (“Happy Mothers’ Day, darling!” followed by “And Happy Fathers’ Day to you, sweetie!”) to tend the front yard and the back while Maria ventured forth with her camera in hand.
Barden Farm where there is always a warm welcome for all
Her first stop was at the Barden Farm for fresh eggs and two beautiful hanging baskets of fuchia to hang on either side of the kitchen door. And then, having left her first haul back at home, she ventured out across the border into Barkhamsted to check out the beautiful little flower shop with the even more beautiful name of ‘Aerie Mountain.’ Her second trip netted her an extravagantly blooming hanging basket of petunias that fit perfectly in the planter at the front of the house.
And so began a perfect day of planting, hanging out, and feeling so glad to be celebrating Mothers’ Day together on this beautiful Spring day in our wonderful community.
When done with hanging out, Maria will again take up her station at her computer to share a little about her trip to Aerie Mountain. In the meantime:
“Happy Mothers’ Day”
to all who have nurtured and loved a husband, a child, a pet.
And may you celebrate by nurturing a living plant that brings with it the promise of a blossom, a fruit or a vegetable – a way of connecting with this beautiful earth that we all call home.
