Happy Mothers' Day to Elenka and all the mothers out there. Each spring Elenka gets all excited and tells me that the 'babies' are out... in the pasture(that is) on her way into the city for work. Here are a couple for your viewing pleasure this significant morning. My mom's thing was horses. I remember special moments together, riding in the station wagon, when she'd pull over at the horse farm on Warren Avenue, and we'd watch them munching away and gazing at us through the fence. Hold fast to these special moments. They come and fade so fast. I'm thinking of her today.

ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to Elenka. Don't sit there at the computer, Birdman. Go fix her a nice breakfast.
ReplyDeleteHave I told you what she eats each morning... it ain't normal.

ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to Elenka! I've been thinking of my mother today also! She loved to travel and see new things.
ReplyDeleteCute 'babies' and mom . . .I'll stop and ogle horses and cows and goats. Pigs not so much.
ReplyDeleteThere are bunches of these little ones at Circle Square Ranch next to Stone Creek - it's been a very prolific spring for calves! Nice to see, even though their future isn't so bright.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about eating out today. Been there, tried that, no good. So we went out and enjoyed a nice dinner last evening.
That is really a cute picture! Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms.

I think your mom would have liked today's post at Gurney Journey (http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/).
ReplyDeleteThis is a scene which is very similar to ones here in Texas. I'll bet those calves have a white-faced Hereford for a dad!
ReplyDeleteA very sweet post, Mr. Bird. Happy Mother's Day to Elenka, and I hope that you were able to gaze on some horses and cattle today, thinking about your mom.
ReplyDeleteBises,
