Potted Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

I had a lovely time with my friend, who came to spend Wednesday night and Thursday with me.  What a wonderful time we had!  We walked, talked, laughed...ah, we had SO much fun.  She and I also worked in the garden for over two hours.  Wow!  It looks SO lovely.  

I thought this funny postcard, with cherubs and heart flowers was perfect for Guest Heart Thursday--especially after a lovely afternoon of gardening with my darling Friend.

Happy Birthday, Mumsie!

I love these roses.  One can almost catch the scent of them in the air.  This artist has captured the beauty of roses--one of my favorite flowers.

Though this postcard wishes the receiver good luck, the truth is, I don't believe in luck--I believe in God.  He has seen me through good and bad times. 

He is the One who gave my Mother to me.  I didn't always appreciate her kindness and sweet loving heart.  I didn't understand the frustrations she had or the hard life she faced.  When I was a teenager, she knew me better than I knew myself.  But I didn't know that.

Now Mums is one of my very best friends.  I wish I could have known that a lot sooner!  Sunday is Mumsie's birthday.  She is beloved to my heart.  I am SO blessed to have this wonderful woman as my own dear Mom.
