HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

A blog to have you mostly use your imagination.....because I only took 1 pic.
Celebrating Mother's Day was special for BB and me & our spouses! 
Her son and my daughter treated us and our "joint grandboys" to nearby Deep Creek for picnic with all the fixin's! Plus, chatting, laughing, campfire s'mores and BB's lemon blueberry poundcake to take home!!
A perfect way to honor their father and mother. (Exodus 20:12)

Before the munching started, I followed the younger grand who removed his crocks & sat right in the water of the COLD creek. Nor far from him were LOTS of tadpoles on an underwater rock in the creek. 
We talked about tadpoles turning into frogs. 
I was unable to scientifically answer his question with eggs, gills or tails to answer his question, "How do they know how to do that?" 
I answered truthfully, "God made them to know how to do that!"

As we packed up to leave, a large pileated woodpecker joined our gathering. (photo by PopPop) 
A "Happy" time was had by all the mothers and their kin!

PANDEMIC PICNIC

Pandemic Picnic. Alliterative for sure but not necessarily with a nice "ring" to it!
Echoes of "social distancing" fill the space. But----
I don't know any grandmother who would not cherish the time to "see" a grandchild or two---even if it's from 6 feet!

As I recall. three came early, two came late, one came by adoption but all 9 came in Gods perfect timing!

How grateful I am that the Lord has allowed me to see my children's children. (Psalm 128.6)
