Happy Mother's Day

Mother's day was yesterday.  It was a beautiful day.  I spent it with my daughter, Judy, and her husband's family on Judy and Jared's farm.  Deviled eggs from the hens.  Pulled pork and ribs from the pigs they raised.  Baked beans, well from Sam's Club.

Baby chicks were in the incubator that Judy and Jared built.  One was hatching.  More baby chicks in the basement and 3 baby ducks.  Out side the goats are good with two new kids, the rabbits are getting big and Judy and Jared have added two cows to the mix.  A busy place with lots of moms.

Maybe the hardest time to be patient is when you are pregnant.  Or hatching an egg or waiting for someone else to deliver.  The months, the weeks, the days and even hours can seem endless.  You can't hurry it.  You don't want to hurry it.  Nature takes it time to create perfect creatures.  But man it can try your patience.  Especially at the end when you are tired of waiting.  But the end result is worth all the wait.  My three daughters were worth every moment of waiting.

The farm for Judy and Jared is developing their patience I think.  A lot to learn.  A lot of trial and error.  But they seem to love it and don't mind the hard work.  It makes me tired just thinking of all they have to do, plus they both work full time.

Kate has the patiences of a saint working with the patients in long term care.  Plus she supervises and that is never easy.

Rachel is starting a new job teaching kindergartners to speak English is Thailand.  That has to take a lot of patiences.  But she has always been patient with kids.

I am very proud of all of them.  They are living life on their own terms.
