This particular act of God made this particular Mother's Day and the week previous the unofficial first gardening week of this year. Long hours for macro gardeners (farmers and their vocation) and micro gardeners (those whose love of land is an avocation). All my energy was directed to our vocation, leaving little time to express any creativity toward another vital vocation, that of motherhood.
But now it is the week after Mother's day and lovers of family and flowers have had their May day. Words may fail when moms are concerned; danger, danger lurks in the sand traps of sentimentality and the hazards of self congratulation. Taking a slice of real life in the form of photos tells the tale of the vocation and avocation of motherhood.....
