Catherine O'Connell Spring, could it be? When late April brought another snow shower, I thought winter would never end...but suddenly, May, sunshine, trees blooming, flowers bursting forth... the promise of spring, fulfilled at last!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's, Grandmother's, cool aunties and all women who mentor and care for children (of all ages), may you be blessed with exactly what you need.
