I had a really nice Mother’s Day spending time with family and friends. We spent a good deal of time outdoors and were pleasantly surprised to find the wind took the day off, even though every weather app promised it would be relentless, making outdoor plans difficult.

Last Thursday and Friday, Rebecca, Nick, and I headed down to Fargo for the North Dakota Newspaper Association (NDNA) 139th Annual Convention. It was so nice to be able to spend time with coworkers outside of the office.

Graduation is here, and in true North Dakota style, the weather is going to be crap. We had 90 degrees last week, and now the forecast for graduation day includes a chance of snow. Thankfully, our garage is heated, and about an hour into the party, everyone will be wearing a nice warm beer blanket.

I would suggest that if you’ve never attended a state music competition, it’s time to block off the first Saturday in May and book a hotel for next year. There’s a good chance that if I can go again next year, I will.

At some point between last week and this week, I blinked, and suddenly, everything turned green! I’m always surprised by how fast this transition happens here in North Dakota, but those long days sure make any vegetation happy, I’m sure.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mom friends, family and readers! Celebrate the woman who is the heart of your family, the anchor who gives the greatest gift of all, unconditional love. Remember, no matter what life has thrown at her, you can always remind her she doesn’t have ugly children.

By Bob Simmons, CEO, Simmons Multimedia I’m a mommy’s boy. Not that I didn’t spend lots of good quality time with my dad growing up, because I most certainly did...but there is just a special bond between a son and his mom that is hard to explain.

Sometimes, I run out of space in my garden or have extra transplants after planting the garden. I usually end up planting these extras in my containers. Container gardening is a great way to supplement in-ground or raised bed production.
