Today would have been my mothers birthday. Every year around this time, I would try to make a trip to South Jersey to visit her, and celebrate her birthday and Mother's Day. It is a magical and beautiful time of year there. The spring-flowering trees are all in bloom. In particular, the dogwood trees. You can drive anywhere and see dog wood, azalea and rhododendron in bloom, along with a plethora of spring flowers.
The sky was incredibly blue today, which made a perfect backdrop for the flowering spring trees here.
So as we celebrate the continuing beauty of spring, I celebrate the memory of my mother.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JUNE'S WONDRFUL MOTHER.
You raised a beautiful child, who raised another beautiful child, who in turn is raising more beautiful children, your legacy LIVES ON!
