Memories & Nostalgia

With Mother’s Day coming this month, my thoughts turn toward my mother, as if they aren’t there often already.  She is a VERY special woman, and has lived a remarkable life. I will do a tribute to her around Mother’s Day but for today, I’m remembering how much influence she has had me as far as my love for attracting and watching birds at the feeder.  This weekend was especially exciting because we had a rare site, a Rose Breasted Grosbeak, we captured this picture quickly through the screen, but I think you can see him.  As it turns out, he has been coming every day since, we’ll see how long it lasts.   That brings me to a memory about another mother, my Grandmother.  It was at her bird feeder in New England that I saw my first Rose Breasted Grosbeak as a child, such a special memory that the name of the bird has never left my memory.

I’m sure there will be other Mom memories between now and mother’s day. To see other things about my Mom, click on “Mom” under categories.
