I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day yesterday...My parents and kids all live in NC, so I was feeling a little down but I talked to all of them and felt better...Hubby took me out to eat and to Lowes where he bought me a metal trellis and a metal oblisk and 3 different clematis vines...So I spent the evening planted the vines and some grape hycian bean plants that I had grown from seeds...I will post a pic when they...grow up...lol..

I also spent 3 hours watching the final episodes of Suvivor..
