Happy Mother's Day!

On my birthday my mom always sends me a little hand-painted watercolor of some flowers. Sometimes my dad will draw funny sketches on the back. Watercolor is a mess but somehow she creates these amazing fluid things... I really don't have the writing skills to describe how nice they are. You'll just have to see them.

One time when I was little I forgot to get her a present, so I filled a coconut shell with some dirt and stuffed some wildflowers in it. I painted "Happy Mother's Day" on the side. Ten years later that stinky old coconut was still proudly displayed in the garden.
