Weekend review on a mosaic Monday

There’s a local joke that goes:“What comes after two days of rain in Vancouver?”“Monday!”Yeah, it’s not that funny if it’s your weekend. Saturday I promised mom some help with a supper she was hosting at her house. Eight guests, I was the youngest; the oldest recently turned 99, several doctors, one lawyer, one financier.For me, there is no better way to combat a rainy Saturday and busy supper preparations than a visit to my favorite nursery Southlands Nursery. There, in the several greenhouses, are such fantasies as all my gardening dreams are made of.hobbs3hobbshobbs2Later, back at mom’s I was inspired to make several arrangements from mom’s garden flowers and my father’s camellias which are in glorious bloom right now.IMG_1799 copyLater we started the preparations and had a lovely time together,IMG_1790 copyAnd, when the guests came, we had a wonderful evening.IMG_1805 copyIMG_1825I wasn’t wearing any jewellery, (except my always ring), so mom and I went to the safe and she gave me her beautiful amber necklace. My father gave it to her. Sunday morning as the sun came into my bedroom, I lifted it up in the sunlight and marveled at the fire within.amberI’m linking up my weekend review with Mary from Little Red House for Mosaic Monday.
