Here Comes Mother’s Day!
Do you have any suggestion……… on what I can get for my mom, for Mother’s Day? That is a question that I get asked a lot, every year at this time.
How should I answer that? I always tell the customer what my favorite gift is from my kids; Mum-ual-labor! That’s it, that’s what I love best!! A day of me pointing my finger, asking them to do things that I have wanted done for a while….basically yard work! I think it’s the best gift ever…they didn’t have to wrack their brain thinking of a gift, and it has no cost to them except time….I would even feed them at the end of it all, with their favorite refreshments throughout their chores…win-win indeed! Mum-ual-labor!
I thought it was great….but last year my youngest daughter, now 33 said “please, no mum-ual-labor, I would rather buy you something”….We laughed, and I knew that I had driven this road as long as I could!
Yes!! I do have a few suggestions for Mother’s Day gifts for your gardening mums:
Last year, I asked my mum-ual-labor resistant daughter for a Bloomarang Lilac Bush. She brought it to me with a lavender bow, and a big smile, and then she planted it for me! So I still got a bit of mum-ual-labor, a gorgeous plant, and time with her…the best gift of all! Maybe this year my other kids will follow suit!
