Winging their way from California, the Harry & David Mini-Roses that I won over at the Reluctant Entertainer blog arrived just in time for Granny for Mother's Day!
This gift came with three lovely four-inch potted mini roses (white,
pink, and yellow) in a unique crate made of antique replica yardsticks. Here's Granny right after Fed-Ex delivered them:
You can also see the Harry & David roses pictured here--quite full of blooms and lovely! I'm sure our roses will be just as pretty once they are planted and start thriving here in Virginia soil!
Sitting on Granny's trunk in her living area, they are quite eye-catching. Thank you, Reluctant Entertainer, and thank you Harry & David for a delightful Mother's Day gift. After all Granny has been through recently with back surgery and recuperation, this roses delivery was especially timely!If you are an long-time reader of Mountain Musings, you'll remember that a couple of years ago I won ten Knock-Out Roses for Granny for Mother's Day from P. Allen Smith, the gardening guru. You can read that story here. That was exciting, too, and we both loved it!
Anyway, we had a great Mother's Day weekend around here and hope that your Mother's Day with your family was a good one, too! I'm so very thankful for my wonderful family.

So glad to see Granny looking well. I hope she is feeling better each day. My husband and children showered me with many wonderful gifts. Glad to hear you had a nice Mother's Day too.
Hannah's wonderful soap arrived today, and we're looking forward to giving it a try. :)

I posted a comment on the soap post prior to this, but it didn't take. I said it was very interesting and I loved your photography!

Deb! You ALWAYS win! So fun! Happy Mother's Day to you and Granny! Give her my love and tell her that I love and pray for her. I think of her all the time because her beautifully made Jeremiah basket is in my living room so I see it every day. :-)

Deb, you are the luckiest person and have won more great stuff through blogland! The roses are beautiful and makes a pretty picture with your Mom. I did not realize she'd had back surgery and hope her recovery is going well. Tell all I said 'hello'!
