Mom's Day 2014

Mom Day Lilacs 

She always seems to know what to reserve to commemorate mom's day.  We visited Dakota Art Pastel last month when I visited Seattle to see #1 daughter Kristin. She sent me home with a box of pastels, wrapped in purple paper, admonished not to open until mom's day.   Ah... an entire set of Blue Earth pastels in every hue and value of purple.  I knew I wanted to do the lilacs, that are close to blooming for this season, so grabbed a reference photo from last season.   

The photos are what we really had for Mother's Day 2014.  Saturday the tulips were lovely and Sunday was the beginning of almost a foot of snow.  Yes Spring in the Rockies is just like that.    Photos by Don.
