H appy Mother's Day! Here's our treat to all mothers everywhere. Enjoy the visual feast and the music.

1. Not quite a momentous event but even in its modesty, the Toronto Flower Market at 99 Sudbury welcomes the arrival of spring and the many occasions that go with it at its inaugural opening on Saturday. Fresh cut flowers grown in Southern Ontario are the main feature in the next four Saturdays. Here's the news video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVFDdEKREtk

2. The flowers are just beginning to bloom and the trees are sprouting their leaves. The verdant grass is back. All these signal the arrival of spring, which is a little bit delayed this year. In any event, the beautiful flowers are all around us. Let's pause and smell the flowers. The video is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YcTiJ8g5p4
