Happy Mother’s Day! Happy March! Wait . . . it’s May 8th, but with the steady wind and cold temperatures we have been having it sure feels like March. I have half of a picnic table full of newly purchased plants, but it is too cold to be working outside.
Anyway, here are some pretty photos for Mother’s Day. Yes, these are the same tulips from Easter:-) They are on their way out now, but when it warms up, I’ll plant the bulbs in my garden.
These photos were all taken with my iPhone. Don’t be afraid to get in really, really close as you will be able to take amazing images such as this.
Did you watch the Kentucky Derby yesterday? If not, the winner, Rich Strike, was a horse who was entered on Thursday after another horse was scratched. It was perhaps the most amazing upset in Kentucky Derby history. Following this theme . . . the other evening while looking for a movie to watch I came across on Netflix, Dreamer starring Kurt Russell, Kris Kristofferson, and a very young Dakota Fanning. It’s about a down on his luck trainer, a horse in need of a second chance, and a little girl with a dream. While not Oscar worth, it was a pleasant enough way to spend a couple of hours.
Before I forget, on the news the other evening they explained the current high cost of lobster ($64 per pound!!!) The lobsters we are seeing at this point are Canadian lobsters as there are restrictions in place for local lobsterman. The restrictions are to prevent endangered right whales from becoming entangled in lines which connect buoys to lobster and crab traps. There are only an estimated 360 right whales left, so these efforts are crucial. Clams and scallops, anyone?
God Bless all the mothers and all who play that role in the lives of children. Here’s a favorite photo of my mom, and, yes, that’s me with her. My mom was always stylish; just check out that suit and those classy shoes. 
Have a great week. Fingers crossed . . . it is supposed to get warmer.
Covid numbers are climbing in our area so please be cautious and stay safe.
