My Mom loved to be gifted flowers more than anythi

My Mom loved to be gifted flowers more than anything, so that's what I brought her or sent to her, and she'd say, "You never forget." And so I didn't. I couldn't. When I sent them, my Dad would send me a picture, like the one here.

>My Mother-in-law, Ligia Currea, loved to see flowers in the ground, mostly in her own prodigious garden, but anywhere, really, especially with her favorite people (spolier: @florangelad and Santana Banana), as in the photo here.

>This is my first Mother's Day without either of them and, I'm not going to lie, the lead-up -- all the ads and sales and other reminders -- has not been fun. Most difficult was contemplating a Mother's Day without flowers. So I bought some for myself, knowing that in them I'd see the beauty and feel the love of the mothers I miss so dearly.

#WorldMigratoryBirdDay (May 10) is for celebrating

#WorldMigratoryBirdDay (May 10) is for celebrating the many movers, whether outgoing like:

🦉: Short-eared Owl
🐦: Snow Goose

or passing through like:

🐦: Sandhill Crane

or arriving like:

𓅃: Osprey
🐦: Rufous Hummingbird
🐦: Yellow Warbler

Help create safe passage with native plants, clean water, and not using harmful chemicals.
