Not so lovely that the local indie hardware store sign made me tear up a block before I got to work.
Their sign currently reads: "Mums are here. More in rear."
For some reason this prosaic rhyme made me think for an instant that all the mums* were in the store and if I didn't see mine right away, I could expect to find her in the back.
(I didn't grow up American, so grew up saying "mum" not "mom.")
Pic: I took this as an excuse to treat myself to some huge mums for the front porch.

Perhaps think about the fact that your mother is always with you. You will always feel her presence deep within. It's so cliche, I know, but you were always connected by love across a great distance.
You'll nurture the plants the same way you nurture everything you care about, and they'll show it.
Awww, sweet friend. xo
I would have thought the same thing. <3 Enjoy them.
How sweet. If only there were a store where moms/mums were always ready to greet us.❤️
Here's to mums, indeed.
Your mums are beautiful and a well-deserved treat. That would have stopped me in my tracks, too.
oh mums.
That's such a beautiful way to frame it; thank you Nance <3
XOXO, Nicole
Twins in this too, J <3
At first I could only remember all the sad things we're twins at, but there are far more happy things we twin at...
Oh! How I wish, Claire!
This reminds me of Noah's Mothers' Day comment <3
I'm smiling about it now (ruefully, but still).
Nothing could be better.
