Both children made me wonderful cards, and I think they are going to bake me a cake too.

I'm going to be going out to my favorite nursery today, Yipee! I'll even get to drive DH's Porsche, Woohooo! I know why he told me to, so I won't buy any plants, hehe. That's alright, our budget can't afford it anyway. At least I can have some nice, peaceful time to myself enjoying plants and coming up with ideas.

I went to the nursery. Steve's plan backfired- I bought 2 plants. First is a Cardinal Flower, I've been wanting one for a really long time, and this is the first time I've seen one that wasn't bareroot, so of course I just had to buy it. The second is a Phalenopsis Orchid. It was in the clearance section because it had finished blooming, was originally $32 marked down to $11, and they had a coupon for another 20% off clearance indoor plants, so it came out to $9!!! That was a no-brainer.

The cake turned out wonderful- I'm going to go get a second piece.

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day- I'm off for another piece of cake, and a nap :)
