I Miss My Mom

Holidays come and go and many times we are happy to go on with life sans the holidaze. Many people have asked what I'm doing for Easter. I reply, "I don't really celebrate Easter." However, there was a time when Easter was quite warm and wonderful. It was always at my mother's house...Memere...as she was known to her grandchildren. She always did something a little out of the ordinary. This one year in particular, she made bunnies for everyone. I captured the raucous rabbits making merry at the dining room table with wine and a scrumptious bunny cake. I wonder how they really felt about that cake!
Unfortunately I didn't photograph the weightlifting rabbit she made for my "soon to be husband." She always made everyone feel at home and the food was delicious!



Spring is an especially difficult time because now my mother would be getting ready to plant seeds for the new season. I dedicate my flowery backyard to her and thank her for sharing her knowledge and love.
