I am not a mother myself so Mother's Day week-end is a perfect time for me to do something special for my mother and sister silver valley girl. On Saturday I prepared a Mother's Day Eve dinner for the whole family. It was fun to put this menu together:
White wine citrus sangria
Greek Watermelon Salad
Mediterranean Steak Salad
and with much gratitude to JBelle... the Pound Cake of Bellemaison with strawberries and cream. The recipe can be found here.
We attended a Mother's Day Tea at French Gulch Farm and Garden on Sunday. It is an amazing gardening destination tucked away off I-90 between Kellogg and Cataldo off the Kingston exit. 
The owner had a plant sale on the grounds while another woman did the tea up the hill in another building. The food was delicious and the surroundings were exactly what this gardening girl loves. What could be more perfect than spending Mother's Day with my two favorite mothers enjoying scones and lemon curd, sipping lavender tea, wandering 
through the gardens, and being able to take home herbs, variegated grass, and basket stuffers? We said good-bye to my sister and Mom and I headed to my house. A perfect way to end the week-end was having one special mother come home with me.
