Mother nature is hard at work this beautiful Mothers Day.

There are baby geese, a new family of baby ducks, and I'm pretty sure baby swans. The swan keeps her babies on the nest for quite a while, then they ride on moms back for a while. Hopefully the cooler weather will work to their advantage. There are a lot of snapping turtles out there. Every year babies are lost in the turtle attacks.

Our impending train ride to Chicago is next weekend. I have mixed feelings. Traveling with a three yr old, and my Mom, who has the onset of dementia, worries me. Luckily it is an over-night only so very little luggage, so I can hang on to them. She is so looking forward to it. It has been three weeks of constant talk about it. Hopefully my sister won't ruin it.
