    Happy Mother’s Day!

    To all you moms out there: Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you have a fun and wonderful day. 

    In honor of Mother’s Day, I’m posting some pictures of the person who made me a mom: my bright and beautiful daughter Ashlynne. All of the photos were taken last week, during a class trip to New York City.

    On the train from Springfield:

     

     

     

     

     

     

    On the ferry in NY:

     

     

     

     

     

     

    At the Museum of Modern Art, looking like part of the artwork:

     

     

     

     

     

    Just being bright and joyful:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Our plan for today is to go to one of my favorite kinds of places in the world: a perennial farm. I’ll get some new flowers, vegetable plants, and herbs. If the weather cooperates, I’ll get to do some planting in the garden, too.

    Be well, everybody!
