Wishing all those out there that are mom's an amazing day.
When I was out wandering the sims, I came upon this one where I was able to quietly reflect about my life and my children
Thank you Mom for all you are and all you have sacrificed for your children. I am a proud mom and happy to watch my two children blossom into young adults. And I hope they dance and keep dancing ☺♥
Truly I am blessed.

Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion)
I hope you dance (Always rolling us along)
I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance (Where those years have gone?)
Thank you Maria Xenou Photodromos for reminding me with your beautiful picture and song that tomorrrow is Mother's day, in Greece.
You brought memories and a tear to an old man's eyes.
This is my contribution, dedicated to all the mothers of the world.
Please, listen to the song, sang by two Angelic voices, Susan Boyle and Jackie Evancho.
It's called "A mother's prayer"
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed it.

I love spring because all the babies are born and the the earth comes back to life, and the flowers bloom. Spring brings with it hope, and belief in the continuity of life. Canada Geese are often accused of being aggressive when in fact they are only protecting their young as we all do. Please be kind and caring to all life. <3

This mother Wood Duck started off with at least five ducklings she now only has two. Most likely the Snapping Turtle got the rest.

U.S. Route 66 Museum, Clinton, Oklahoma
U.S. Route 66 was one of the original highways in the United States, officially established in 1926. It formed a critical element in population shifts westward during the 20th Century, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. The road originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before ending in Santa Monica, California, a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km).
The Route 66 highway sign has become highly iconic for the era, America's love affair with the automobile, and travel in general. John Steinbeck first coined the phrase "The Mother Road" for the route in his famous novel "The Grapes of Wrath" (1939), where the highway symbolizes escape, loss and hope.
As shown in the Disney/Pixar movie franchise "Cars" however, the Interstate Highway System gradually replaced Route 66 as a major artery for the country and many once-prosperous towns fell into decline.
Nostalgia and economic motivations have since driven these communities to re-establish portions of the road as a National Scenic Byway by the name "Historic Route 66", with a number of museums dedicated to preserving this part of American history.
Here in Clinton, Oklahoma this small but worthy museum carries on that effort. It's designed to look like a 1950s drive-in restaurant and showcases a classic cherry-red 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback in the front lobby.

The Canada goose (Branta canadensis) is a large wild goose with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. It is native to the arctic and temperate regions of North America, and its migration occasionally reaches across the Atlantic to northern Europe. It has been introduced to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, New Zealand, Japan, Chile, Argentina and the Falkland Islands. Like most geese, the Canada goose is primarily herbivorous and normally migratory; it tends to be found on or close to fresh water.
Extremely adept at living in human-altered areas, Canada geese have established breeding colonies in urban and cultivated habitats, which provide food and few natural predators. The success of this common park species has led to its often being considered a pest species because of its excrement, its depredation of crops, its noise, its aggressive territorial behavior toward both humans and other animals, and its habit of stalking and begging for food, a result of humans disobeying artificial feeding policies of wild animals.
During the second year of their lives, Canada geese find a mate. They are monogamous, and most couples stay together all of their lives. If one dies, the other may find a new mate. The female lays from two to nine eggs with an average of five, and both parents protect the nest while the eggs incubate, but the female spends more time at the nest than the male.
Its nest is usually located in an elevated area near water such as streams, lakes, ponds, and sometimes on a beaver lodge. Its eggs are laid in a shallow depression lined with plant material and down.
The incubation period, in which the female incubates while the male remains nearby, lasts for 24–32 days after laying. Canada geese can respond to external climatic factors by adjusting their laying date to spring maximum temperatures, which may benefit their nesting success.
As the annual summer molt also takes place during the breeding season, the adults lose their flight feathers for 20–40 days, regaining flight about the same time as their goslings start to fly.
As soon as the goslings hatch, they are immediately capable of walking, swimming, and finding their own food (a diet similar to the adult geese). Parents are often seen leading their goslings in a line, usually with one adult at the front, and the other at the back. While protecting their goslings, parents often violently chase away nearby creatures, from small blackbirds to lone humans who approach: first giving a warning hiss, and then attacking with bites and slaps of the wings. Canada geese are especially protective animals, and will sometimes attack any animal nearing their territory or offspring, including humans. Although parents are hostile to unfamiliar geese, they may form groups of a number of goslings and a few adults, called crèches.
The offspring enter the fledgling stage any time from 6 to 9 weeks of age. They do not leave their parents until after the spring migration, when they return to their birthplace.
Young birds before fledging are called goslings. The collective noun for a group of geese on the ground is a gaggle; when in flight, they are called a skein, a team, or a wedge; when flying close together, they are called a plump.

Therefore I placed a spoon on the Kindle Reader on my iPad and captured this Welsh novella , not that there are many Welsh Language Books available on Amazon.
