Wrapping up the week...It once was lost.Mint Tea.Being Tricked...and a song, of course.

I don't think there is a mother in the world that doesn't receive a dandelion...
or two or five hundred each spring.

..and even though I've been given so many from each of my six throughout the years..
...I still love it!  ..because they think of ME!
...when their little eyes see it growing on the ground..
..when their tiny, pudgy fingers pick it and when they hand it over with their heart.
Moms {or anyone given a dandelion for that matter} appreciate it!

...even if you itch and sneeze! {just sayin}

...back last fall..I lost my engagement ring. I know, I know...sigh.
I looked EVERYWHERE!!! I used to keep it on this little ring holder by my sink.
It was a Precious Moments ring holder/dish thing.
{I put the link in for all of you under the age of twenty-nine who are asking..
What is a Precious Moment? Can I find it on Instagram? Is it a new Snapchat filter?}

Perhaps I should link snapchat for those born before ??? .Nineteen Seventy..kidding!
From now on I will only be making fun of the youth..since I'm, well..Nevermind!

Anyway, back to my ring.
Jeff told me I should move it off of the little dish...
"One day it's going to fall down the drain.." he said.
For 20 years it hasn't fallen..but, hmm, maybe he's right?
So I moved it. I put it into this little pitcher thing I keep on my dresser...
...and that is when it went MIA.

It was no where to be found...for months!
I told Jeff I would act surprised if a Tiffany and Co. box showed up in the mail...
....but one never came. Whatever.

Soooo...one Friday afternoon I decided to do a little jewelry purge.
I asked Sophia if she wanted anything out of the pile of jewelry I was getting rid of
before I tossed it all.

GUESS WHAT she found in the pile?!?!? That was GOING INTO THE GARBAGE!!!
Yes! My ring!!! I almost threw it away. Gone. Forever.
How it made it's way into that pile of old jewelry..I have no idea.
To say I was thankful to my daughter is an understatement!

School outside.Walks on the bike path.
Filling empty flower pots.Shorts and sandals and sunshine...
...and then a rainy forty five degree day!
{...that would be today..and tomorrow}

Spring can toss some mean tricks our way..this cold snap is one of them.
...it is turning everything green though..that's nice.

So you should get yourself a little mint plant.
Chocolate mint if possible.
It will grow like crazy and come back year after year
in abundance! ...so keep it in a pot if you want it contained.

Brew a pot of black tea...and toss in a few sprigs of mint!
It is perfection!!! ..especially on a day that you are in your garden.

Let's go back in time for the Precious Moment people
with a little peaceful song.

HaPpy Weekend.
HaPpy Mother's Day.
HaPpy it's Friday and my husband will be home!!!!!!
