Tomorrow May 26 is my mother's birthday. She would have been 95 years old. Many years after she passed away, I was scanning some old photos and found a picture of our farm barn. I vaguely remember taking the picture, probably around 1985. On closer inspection of the scan, there was a hidden image of my mother. She always sat by the window in her rocker and looked out at the barn yard. I bought her a few Bantam Chickens one year and she would spend hours watching those birds in the yard. I think my mother was thanking me for the chickens in this picture. She always told me that the three greatest, most relaxing things in life were: watching a crackling fire, watching moving water and watching birds. You are welcome Mom.
