Today is Mother's Day. I hope everyone had a good day. Today the weather here in south central Wisconsin was perfect. The temperatures were in the high 70's with full sun. The first thing I saw when I got up this morning was a beautiful Scarlet Tanager. They are so beautiful and made me happy even before I had my coffee.

A Scarlet Tanager |
The next thing on our agenda was to meet our youngest daughter and family for brunch. We met at 10:30 at a beautiful place only three miles from our house. It is called Mecan River Outfitters. It is a log lodge with a dining room. They have rooms in the lodge for rent as well as cabins. They do canoe trips and hunting trips.

My son-in-laws parents also met us, so we had eight people. They don't take reservations so we had to wait outside on the porch. The weather was gorgeous and a Mother's Day mimosa made it just perfect. The food was very good. Heather gave me my gift. My grandsons helped her put it together. Knowing how much I like nature, it was the perfect gift.

They made me a terrarium. |
After we got home, I heard from my other daughter. Her family had celebrated Mother's Day in Wisconsin Dells with her in-laws. She wanted to give all the mom's equal time, so they stopped by our house on the way home. I put together some supper and they stayed for a couple hours. Everyone was exhausted from the water park, but happy too. She gave me a hanging basket for the porch.
Today we also saw more of our favorite birds. It made for a bright and cheery Mothers Day. It was a wonderful day.

The Indigo Bunting was around all day. |
