Hello and welcome to a Mother's Day Saturday here at the Wannaskan Alamanac. Today is May 7th.
Last year, I blogged about being a terrible Plant Whisperer. This year, when the First Grader brought his Mother's Day plant from school, he announced, "I'm taking care of it." On that note, today, we'll visit some greenhouses as I renew my annual promise to "be better this year."
As a Mother's Day present to me, the First Grader and Fourth Grader helped me write this blog post. Enjoy!
