Pasque Flowers for Mother's Day - Missoula, Montana

...suddenly, starkly i realize: 

all the stories i know

of things long ago 

are my mother's

Grateful thanks on this Mother's Day to all the story sharers and history keepers who enrich our roots with context.

(Hmmm...could we say stories are the compost that grow strong foundational roots, anchoring us to the past so we can grow freely up and out into our unique future? More coffee needed to ponder any deeper - deeper like roots , haha!)

(& thanks to the folks a few blocks over for sharing with the neighbourhood their patch of lovely, mesmerizing pasque flowers on the sidewalk side of their fence!)

All In The Details - Missoula, Montana

"A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie." - Robert Quillen (1887-1948)

With our mum - "our" equaling seven - the portion mystery concerns roast chicken. We will never know for sure, leastways this side of heaven, if she TRULY preferred the chicken neck to any more, er, typical piece we variously offered (and I am always happy with just more mashed potatoes!).

Cheers to another day remembering the mum's we love, in all their glorious humanity!
