Mother's Day gifts

<p>Here’s what my best friend got for Mother’s Day/60th birthday present from her family. Her group of gardening friends took her away for a girls’ weekend to a nearby island. (They were in on the family plans.) So, she had a nice, relaxing 60th birthday celebration with this group, who are all old friends.</p>

<p>When she got home, the backyard patio area had been transformed. It was just a plain concrete slab, surrounded by rather overgrown rhodies and old plantings. An entire crew of family worked for three days putting in a stone patio area surrounded by gravel, a water feature with three stone columns, flowering plants, and a screened gazebo area with new table and chairs. </p>

<p>Wasn’t that a great Mother’s Day/60th birthday surprise?</p>
