Last night of my mom’s visit. I had a brilliant post constructed in my mind and a martini washed it away.

Oh wait, I know what it was.

I spent time with my mom today for Mother’s Day. (We’re not very good with schedules). We put in a new sunflower bed today and planted seeds for 9 varieties of sunflowers.

I carefully planned out the bed, taking into account size of plant, size of flower, color schemes, and the like. I carefully amended the soil. I’ve mulched around, but not over, the future plants.

Then, mom and I took stock of my handywork and imagined how lovely it’s going to look in a few months.

Then, we remembered that’s where my new sunroom is going.
