First of all, happy mothers' day to all mothers!


In my country (Georgia) the third of March is the Mother's day. For me it's the most beautiful holiday. It's never celebrated loudly, but it's the prettiest, the warmest and the most wonderful day because of it's meaning.


Here the mother's day associates with violets. Georgians have a saying: "Where mother's tear drops, the violets grow". When I was a school-girl (in elementary school), our teacher used to teach us verses about mother, and we used to make greeting cards. They were just simple papers, on which we drew violets (or some other flowers too), or stick there the flowers made of coloured papers, write those verses there and write something like: "To my dear mommy  for mother's day!"


It was cute:)


Traditionally the mothers are given the flowers. For last few years, violets have been replaced by cyclamens. But that's mostly because many people mistake them with violets. However, the violets still are the symbol of mother. So, again happy Mother's day!

    Sorry I was not here yesterday but my son was on the computer the whole day .
    Thank you so much for the flower and the beautiful post. You and your mother are both very pretty. I bet you look like her now.

    I learned a song when I was small and sometimes i sing it still. It says if I was a singer  then I would sing a lied about the sun and the spring , my land and my nation but most of all I would give my mum my most beautiful  poems , she leads me she  protects me and is so good to me. I love that song and I still sing it to my mother.

    Sorry I didn't answer at once. Thanks for the compliment btw:) But I don't look like my mother. (Unfortunately).
    People often tell us that we look alike though. We have different features of face, but people still think we are alike. My father often says that I have her smile.
