Monday, sweet Monday

To My Mother
by Christina Rossetti

To-day’s your natal day;
Sweet flowers I bring:
Mother, accept, I pray
My offering.

And may you happy live,
And long us bless;
Receiving as you give
Great happiness.

Lily of the valley

Flowers for Mom.


Happy birthday, Mom! Thank you for being you — and for encouraging me to be me.


For the rest of my readers: Tomorrow, I’ll have a post about Laura Eno‘s new book, Jewel of Shaylar, which launches today. Later this week, I may have some more spring pictures, and I’ll be back to flash on Friday.

Laura is one of three book launch posts I’ll have this month; check back on May 21 for Karina Fabian’s latest, and on the 31st to read about Sarah-Jane Lehoux’s Sevy trilogy.

Be sure to check back in early June, too, when I’ll talk about how I did on my short stories for this month.

  1. What gorgeous little flowers!

    • Thanks! Lily of the valley. My dad was allergic, so we never had any when I was growing up younger. I have some now, though, and since they’re the birth flower for May, it seemed appropriate.
