If we were having coffee, we’d be sitting on a blanket in the sun. Spring is finally in full swing here in Minnesota and I am loving every moment! I’d be sipping my usual mocha–what would you be having?
May is quickly slipping away… I can’t believe the month is half done already!
Today is Mother’s Day! My parents have been away for most of the weekend enjoying fishing opener at a friend’s cabin up north. They’ll be coming home later this morning. My siblings are home for the weekend and we’ll be enjoying a nice brunch. It’s not often that we’re all together. With vacations, work, one brother doing an internship in North Carolina for the summer, we probably won’t be together for a while.
My family’s apple orchard is in full bloom! We’ll be opening it to the public for a special Mother’s Day walk later this afternoon. I hope lots of people come–it’s one of the prettiest times of the year.
It’s been a pretty quiet week. I had shopping plans with a friend yesterday, but she cancelled, so I decided to go alone. I spent WAY too much money… but really needed a new dress for all the weddings I’m attending this summer.
At work, I’ve been busy getting ready for our Summer Reading Program. I’ll be away on vacation when the program officially starts, so I’m getting the pieces together. While I know it’s going to be a busy summer with kids coming in, I’m excited for all the fun programs. I’m doing preschool storytime, a marshmallow engineering event, a stuffed animal sleepover, and am starting a Lego Club.
Aside from family time, I plan to spend the rest of my weekend soaking in the sunshine. I’ll be mowing the lawn this afternoon and will hopefully go for a hike tomorrow (I don’t work on Mondays).
That’s all I’ve got today… what have you been up to this week? Do you have any Mother’s Day plans? What would you share over coffee?

It sounds like your summer will keep you busy. The plans sound like The children will have fun time. Your orchard must be a lovely event. Best wishes for a successful timr.
Thanks, Betty!
I bet the orchard is beautiful this time of year. You have some great activities planned for the kids this summer! Have a nice weekend with your family ☺
Thanks, Amie! I hope you have a great week! 🙂

Thanks, Kathleen! Hope you have a great week! 🙂
It’s so nice that all your siblings were home to share Mother’s Day with your mom. We went out to dinner with my mother-in-law and my sis-in-law and family. Beautiful day here too. Would love to see photos of you apple orchard in bloom!
Sounds like you had a great Mother’s Day! It was so lovely here–I got my first sunburn of the year. I’ll have to share some blooming orchard photos in next week’s coffee share. 🙂
