Mother's Day 2013

One of the great memories I have of my Mother is walking in my Grandmother's garden when we would visit. It was part of every family visit and years later I would walk my Mother's garden with my children when visiting. It is a slow spring this year and I took a few pictures earlier in the week and today after Mass I took a Mothers Day walk in the church garden.  Here's a bakers dozen roses for Mothers Day and a rose arrangement. After the name of the rose is the type and year it was introduced.
