The other day my daughter and I came across this mama and baby crossing the road with papa. Of course, the parents were rushing the gosling across the road because there we were in our silver goose of a Volkswagen. We were on the way to school and making up for lost time trying to get the pony tail just right, but this encounter stopped us in our tracks. Suddenly we had all the time in the world. There's nothing like the natural world to point up the foolishness of our self-important haste. And there's nothing like a mother's love to remind you that life itself is all we really have time for.

Happy Mother's Day most especially to my mom and to the really fine women who have graced my life.

    Happy Mother's Day to you as well. That is a very nice story. Do you always carry you camera? Did you learn that from Mr. Denney? Have a great evening. Love Mom

    We have to stop and take in sites such as these. They are what the precious moments of life are all about. Too many people don't pause long enough, and then life is gone.

  26. I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day, Sandy!

    It's an important lesson to teach your children: Stop to smell the roses. Or, as in this case, stop to watch the Geese cross the road.
