Are you waiting for that imaginary bolt of lightning? You know the one that I’m talking about .   .   . that  comes and shakes those creative ideas loose? No? Just when you realize that you can not come up with one more creative Mother’s Day idea .   .   . Aye Yai, Yai! Yikes! Ok .   .   . how about trying one of my lightning bolt epiphanies?  Yes, yes, yes, I can hear all of you. Your plans consist of reservations, flowers, a loving card for mom, mother, grandma, great-grandma etc., and maybe a gift, just like last year and the year before that. Hmm .   .    . Geez, don’t you think that it’s time to add a little bit of pizazz to the celebration? Wow, I just heard sooo many yeses. Fantastic! Now let’s get down to business.

Nestled all across the United States are botanical gardens offering breathtaking and in many instances free admittance. Now combine beauty, education, amazingly scented air that will wrap you up in an invisible blanket of pure joy and .   .   . I repeat it’s FREE! Many of these wonderful gardens allow for picnics, or have on site cafes that take all of the work out of chow-time. Wait don’t leave until you hear my other option for Mother’s Day.

Take your Mother’s Day special person(s) for a wine or small batch, craft brewery tasting journey. Now hold on a minute! I just heard someone say wine is expensive, and they don’t live in wine country. Vineyards or a store front representation are popping up all over the place  No, no, no, not necessarily so. As far as crafted beer is concerned .   .   . easy-peasy .   .   . small batch crafted beer companies are all over the place. I am by no means promoting over-indulgence .   .    . remember these are tasting expeditions with the potential of bringing home a taste of Mother Earth!
