Good morning from Maine where we’re recovering from the destruction of our tulip garden at the hooves and teeth of some whitetail deer. We’ll be spending part of the day working on the gardens including planting some marigolds and other plants that are reported to be deer repellents (we’ll see). 

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day so my daughters and I have a little time to put the finishing touches on a surprise for tomorrow morning. Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers, including my mom, who read my blog. I hope that you have a great weekend!
