Last night my mom, Lorene, and I went on an adventure. It was her birthday present from me this year- I'm into giving gift experiences rather than actual gifts lately. Let me start by explaining that Mom is really into gardening and all things nature- Mom & Dad's backyard is like a tropical oasis of plants and flowers and trees. Mom has passed this love on to me and has been the inspiration for my new gardens and plantings at my own home this year. Mom's b-day gift this year was called a 'Seasonal Landscape Hike' and was held on the grounds of the historic Brucemore property in Cedar Rapids. We got to walk around the entire property and learn all about the master gardener's maintenance, ideas and historical integrity of the gardens and grounds. It was fascinating (that's the history major in me talking) and we just had the best time! Times like this with my Mom are truly priceless. We look forward to many more events at Brucemore- there is lots more to explore.

Thanks for the tribute and the totally awesome evening! Why do I feel that our yard is only a missed weeding opportunity away from chaos? ljw
