Happy Mother’s Day!…

I recently rediscovered an old flea market mug collection and decided to clean them up for Mother’s Day…

In the city…

or in the country…

Enjoy Mother’s Day! 

 

The 4th of July…

Circa 1931…My mother is 2 1/2 years old and these are some of the few photos we have of her as a child…I’m still not sure why she is dressed up as Uncle Sam…I hope my sister remembers!

Happy 4th of July!

Mother's Day Birds...

Last year near Mother's Day I took pictures of baby robins...my header this month is one of those pictures...This year my dog Kaja and I upset another bird family...The entire time I was taking pictures the father goose never stopped honking...the mother seemed rather calm about it all..

Canadian geese have become quite a nuisance in our area lately but I can remember when they were very unusual to see and people would drive for miles to see a flock that wintered in a reservoir near my home...I have to admire how they adapt and I still think they are beautiful.

Happy Birthday Mom...

My mother would have been 80 years old today...This photo was taken in 1948 at her wedding reception in her parents yard when she was 19 years old...If I had to describe her in one word it would be "unfullfilled"....and the second word would be "FUN"!
