    and I know I am early, but in case I can't get on the computer as we have a full compliment of children here this weekend, I would like to wish all of you mums and step mums, a very happy Mothering Sunday, wherever you are. I hope the sunshines for us all. :stew2:

    I plan to spend the day in the garden, sowing seeds, planting cuttings I rooted in the autumn and have been overwintering in pots, and splitting a few perennials that are getting far to big for their boots. I also hope to spark up the old BBQ and fling a chook on it to have with jacket spuds and salad.

    Have a great day everyone. :stew1: :stew2:

    Happy Mothers Day EJ!!!

    I'm hoping for some nice warm weather on Sunday for Mothers Day. I hope I can get outside and clear up the mess the snow has left my garden in. If the kids drop by then they might find themselves out there giving me a helping hand. ;)

    Happy Mothering Sunday to you too.
    It isn't an official 'Hallmark' holiday so it isn't celebrated over here.

    Grilled chicken, baked potatoes and salad sounds like a good meal to me. Very few dishes to clean up and easy for other family members to prepare for you....winner all the way around. ;)

    Happy Mother's Day to those who celebrate! We had ours a couple of week-ends ago and I got a lovely foot bath and a nice flower bouquet. :D
