With inspiration from my dear sister-in-law, Rachel, I embark on this adventure - capturing an image every day for a year both to have for myself and to share with you. My hope is that through this effort, I will "keep peace in the noisy confusion of life" - taking time to notice the small things, celebrate the big things, and more fully appreciate the gift of each new day. Of course, I had every intention of beginning this on January 1st - but when that day came and went without a blog, Rachel assured me that this project can begin on any day. After a slow start, I really hope I can pull it off - and that you'll enjoy it!

Day 124 - May 12: Model Mother

Tonight we went to Paul and Lucille's annual Celebration of Spring - a gathering of friends at their beautiful home (built by Whitla Brothers).  As we were leaving, I stopped to admire the gorgeous structure of the carriage house and found a robin, sitting on her eggs.  Honestly, is there a more patient and selfless mother out there?  A woman who clears her calendar for weeks to just sit there, jumping off only to rotate her eggs or grab a bite to eat - and where's Dad?  Seeing her was a really nice start to my Mother's Day.
