mother's day 2011

 i had the loveliest laziest mother's day today - breakfast in bed 

 followed by presents and more lazing.

i was very pleased to see that one of the present chocolates is 70% valor - that will come in handy....

and my room smells gorgeously of warm vanilla, thanks to these lilies

 and of course, today i also thought of my own Mother, whose parenting years were a hard row to hoe.
