Happy Mothers Day to My Mom

I am sure there are many things that I could get for my mother, but I just didn't know what to get her, so I am publicly telling her how much I love her. Happy Mother's Day. The list of things I love about my mother would be a little too long for this blog post, so here a few of my favorite things.
I love the way she taught me to love nature. She still gets sad when the asparagus is gone in the spring. We used to walk along the ditch banks and pick asparagus. I miss that.

She taught me to love beautiful flowers and appreciate their aroma.

She allowed me freedom to question and learn.

She taught me to love animals and the happiness they can bring to life.


She taught me to enjoy the small things in life -- like bubbles blowing in the wind.



She taught me to never loose my sense of humor, even when things seem really bad.

For all this and many more wonderful memories. Thanks mom. I love you.
