Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all our Mothers. It is a special day to honor the person who helped shape our lives. She can be our natural Mother, a Step-Mom, a foster Mother, She can be a friend who is always there to help us . She can be a Mother-In-Law, after all, some one cared for our husbands or significant others. She can be the Mother of our friends.

This is my Mom. She was there every step of the way. She was the guiding force of who I am today. Her laughter, knowledge, firm tone when needed, loving and kindness in the good times and sad times. Her encouragement to keep on going, even when you thought you could not. She gave me history. Our family was all from Hungary. She was there when my own son was born, to show and guide me to be the best Mother I know how. I miss her every day. There are still so many things I want to share with her. I know in my heart of hearts she is still with me.
My son, Andrew, came out to visit on Thursday, to celebrate Mother's Day with me. He surprised me by showing up about "lunch" time. (Get the free lunch when you can.) (Oh, and with laundry in tow.) It was so much fun to have him around. He has to work on Sunday, so thought he would come to visit. He is an amazing son. He is going to be 25 in July. Where has the time gone. We had a great afternoon, the laundry got done, and we all went to dinner before he went home.

On another note, here are a couple of the critters that are visiting our backyard. This is a white-crowned sparrow. There are several pine trees along the back of our property. All sort of birds have made nests in them, and now the babies are beginning to appear. I do keep feeders full, so a variety of birds do come to visit.
The baby bunnies are appearing as well. This little one decided the new sprouts on my rose bush were delicious.

Happy Mother's Day to all. Enjoy the day.

Thank you for stopping by.
