Signs of Spring


Just had to share a couple of pictures from our Mother's Day mushroom hunt. Brett found some big morels at my family farm in Illinois. We found a bag full and look forward to fixing them for dinner soon!


Baby geese, ducks and chicks are a sure sign of spring. Brett had an opportunity to watch some eggs being hatched at Jeff Smith's house last week. Brett was very interested in seeing how the little birds had to peck their way through the shell.


Petting newborn calves and watching chickens hatch were some of the things I enjoyed doing in the spring growing up on a farm in Illinois. This was my first Mother's Day without my mother, Barbara Scott. I miss her very much, but know she is still with me--in many of the things I do and say.
