HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Today in the US it is Mother's Day.  Growing up in the UK this special day was a different month, in March.  My Dad always made sure my sister and I had a bouquet of daffodils for Mum.  She always received them with a big hug and a wonderful smile for both of us.  

Days when Mother's Day is/was celebrated across the globe in 2020.
Israel - February 25th
Russia - March 8th
Middle East - March 21st
UK and Ireland - March 22nd
Hungary and Portugal - May 3rd
Austria, Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, 
Greece, Cyprus, South Africa, Switzerland and
the Ukraine - the same day as we do, 
May 10th
Poland - May 26th
France - June 7th
Spain - December 8th
(With thanks to my blogging friends for more dates.)

If there are any that I have missed, please let me know.

So my dear friends, for those of you who are celebrating, Happy Mother's Day!  
These are the flowers I was given today.  I will be remembering my Mum, they are for her too, and a reminder of our children for they are the best gift of all.  

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest
of your weekend.

    Mother's Day has an interesting background. The various dates are a good example of some differences.
