Around the table with Mom


Aruna Mundlapudi, center, on her 70th birthday with her daughters, Sacharitha Bowers, left, and Sankirtana Danner, right. Mother's Day customs in the United States are as varied as the mothers they
celebrate. The holiday has evolved from its original purpose of promoting community service and education for women, to a more celebratory event reflecting a vivid patchwork of traditions. For some it's a day to relax, some come to party, and for others it's a day to mourn and remember.
In my family Mother's Day has always been a day to work in the garden and, of course, eat. The last frost in central Illinois falls around Mother's Day, and so for my family of Midwestern gardeners this was the time to plant green beans, tomatoes and flowers. My great-grandfather purportedly filled his mother's flower bed with red geraniums each year on Mother's Day, a custom which I've tried to keep alive for my grandmother to this day.
