Helen's Mulberry Lane Farm Journal
May 14, 2009
I had a wonderful Mother's Day. With ten children, you can only begin to imagine my joy!
The five children at home surprised me with three large lilac trees! This is a dream come true for me! Timmy planted them for me that same day, even though it is his day off. These dear children are the joy of my life!
Here I am viewing my lilac trees in our living room.

We visited our local green house on Mother's Day as is our yearly tradition.
Me with five of my ten jewels! I am RICH!

'Beka picked out some marigolds for her planter.

I enjoyed a visit from my daughter Laura and her husband Philip and their two children, Kelsey (4)and Brooklyn (3 months).
Kelsey loved seeing the one day old ducks!
She loves animals.
|
Kelsey enjoyed some rhubarb from my garden, especially the sugar!

On Monday we took a trip to Amish country (Arthur, IL) to buy Beka's Halflinger horse, who is named Ann Arbor. What a day that was! There is such a charm to the Amish and their lifestyle that attracts our interest and curiosity.

Isn't Ann Arbor a beauty?

We visited an Amish tack shop
to buy a used saddle and bridle.

This cart was outside the tack shop.

When we got home, Rachel relaxed by making this pretty design on the front steps of the office.
