Mother's Day! 2019

Happy Mother's Day! My Mom sent me chocolate strawberries from Edible Fruit, so yummy! We all have bad COLDS, mainly affecting our lungs, coughing, and throat. AA has major congestion. We are functioning, walking sick, so after AA's golf tournament at Hyde Park (Saturday), I made a homemade chicken Asian dish with carrots, asparagus and snow peas (included apricot jam and Dijon mustard). Not too bad, but not too good.
Sunday, we had a lazy morning, homemade pancakes and AA gave me a 2nd blueberry bush. Now we will have two together. Leaa had asked us to meet up for church and brunch, but we are not too keen on coughing near others, trying to keep our distance. We drove to Maggie's to pick up some new herbs (no pepper plants. they only had Datil) and they were out of citronella plants. So next year, we need to go earlier in the spring. 

Making AA and her Daddy pose without looking like they are posing!

Roosters and Chickens scratch around the property:

The Owner pointed out the butterflies and how they planted fennel to attract the forming of chrysalis. "Within the chrysalis the old body parts of the caterpillar are undergoing a remarkable transformation, called 'metamorphosis,' to become the beautiful parts that make up the butterfly that will emerge."

The gift shop:

Since we are about 15 minutes from Ancient City Brewery, we stopped in, I got a free beer for Mother's Day and we played Jenga.

Neat picnic tables in their game space:

I think we built 32 rows of blocks before tumbling down!

We came home, I planted my new herbs, AA walked Ginger and Ford made a quick grocery stop to buy a Boston Butt for BBQ Pork in the crock pot for tomorrow. We made a homemade Carolina vinegar BBQ sauce too. Now to rest! Hoping this congestion goes away!
