Don't forget you mom this month. Sunday May 12 is Mother's Day. Enjoy this Mother's Day song from us and remember, we have plenty of items your mom is sure to love. Check out our bird feeders, garden items and more.
"The mother memories that are closest to my heart are the small gentle ones that I have carried over from the days of my childhood. They are not profound, but they have stayed with me through life, and when I am very old, they will still be near . . . Memories of mother drying my tears, reading aloud, cutting cookies and singing as she did, listening to prayers I said as I knelt with my forehead pressed against her knee, tucking me in bed and turning down the light. They have carried me through the years and given my life such a firm foundation that it does not rock beneath flood or tempest."
Margaret Sanger (1879 - 1966)
