Flowers For Mom

 


BGM


As only now the temperatures have stabilized above freezing...
and we had the outside water turned on...
my elder sister and I took my mother to a local nursery 
to get some flowers for her flower garden.








She has two fully water plumed raised flower beds in which I planted various colored irises.


My mother will enjoy her flowers as they bloom...
and I will cut some to put in a vase for her to enjoy inside her house.


I ended up planting the four yellow irises in the front rows...
and I put the purple irises along the middle rows.

I also ordered 50 various colored gladiola bulbs on line to fill the back rows.

Once they arrive...
I will plant them.

They have spectacular blooms.

My mother will especially love them.

Her backyard is taking shape a little at a time.

My mother greatly enjoys sitting outside and viewing her backyard 
from the comfort of her patio.

This summer will be a time when we will sit outside often...
enjoying cups of coffee and eating delicious snacks or meals.

I will take more photos once the full flower garden comes into bloom.

Mother's Day - 2022

 


Song:  Too Much Heaven

Group:  Bee Gees


This Mother's Day was actually celebrated by three mothers...
my younger sister (pictured)...
my elder sister (taking photos)...
and all of our mother (next photo).




My mother loved her sushi.
Our favorite place for all you can eat sushi
is Sky Terrace Sushi at The Atlantis Casino in town.





I had the Seafood Fettuccini from The Oyster Bar.
It is always one of my favorites.


I am visible in the mirror.

Yes, my hair is getting long...
and I've decided to see how long it can get...
because...
why not?

I ordered a twelve string guitar a few days ago.

It should arrive today...
or the next.

I already have a cover song I wish to play using it.

I will also be incorporating the bass flute, keyboard, and the bass guitar.

It will take some time...
but it should be a fun one to try...
not only because it will be the first time I have ever attempted this song...
it will be the first time using a 12 string and a bass guitar on a song...
as well as any other function on my MAX - 10 keyboard besides the Grand Piano.

I will have to record multiple tracks...
and, other than flamenco...
this will be one of the fastest strumming songs there is.

Once finished...
I will publish it on my covers blog and on YouTube.

There is another song I will record soon as well...
but it will be using my classical guitar.

It will be a while for this song as well...
as I am attempting to train myself in...
what is for me...
the most difficult instrument of all...
my voice.
