Hooray, Mother’s Day by MwsR

Excellent, another Mother’s Day without a mother

Another year that’ll show things bright and clear

More gifts I see from other’s to their mothers

While no gifts for me to give to mine, no need to bother.

Another day to celebrate the love and affection

That I have been without during this entire affliction.

No dinners with my mother dear

No celebrating, not any certain rights, here.

Great! Another one to pass me by

Another Mother’s Day to make me cry

So many things that I would like to be in my heart

But that isn’t what is real or smart

I won’t ever have much to show on this holiday,

From the one who made me this way.

But that is really okay

I’m learning not to expect things anyway.

Hooray, another Mother’s Day!

Save Your Plastic Containers

If you don’t have any soda bottles handy to create your own mini greenhouse, you can also use plastic to-go containers from restaurants. Plastic clamshell containers are the perfect place to get your seeds started.

Clamshell Food Container for Gardening — Family Handyman

Wash your container thoroughly after you finish your food and fill the bottom with soil. Then place your seeds inside with enough space between them for each seed to grow. Close the container and set it near the window where it can soak in the sun. The plastic container keeps moisture locked inside while still allowing sun and warmth to reach your plant. Your seeds will sprout in no time!
