Mother's Day; pictures; and Name-that-thing!!

We spent the day together as a family yesterday, which is a good thing, because today, we were doing many different things!

 

My dad and Andrew were out cleaning grain again, then my dad loaded up some sunflowers for a farmer that he'll haul to Enderlin in the morning.

 

My mom and I spent the morning writing out our share of the thank you notes for all the gifts/food that was shared at Grandpa's funeral...

 

A dear friend stopped in for a few minutes to visit, (plus she brought us a delicious fruit tray with yogurt-fruit dip and meat/cheese/crackers as well--yummy)!   Friends are such a blessing to life!

 

Jacob and I spent most of the afternoon out in a couple of the fields by the farm here, popping rocks out with this machine (I found and marked them, then Jacob dug them out) and picking up a couple tractor-bucket loads full of smaller rocks that were throughout the field.  There are still many more rocks to pick, so if anybody is looking for an opportunity to build their muscles....  ;)

 

 As it was Mother's Day, we did spend the evening all together----eating, gift-giving, and then watched "God's Not Dead".  :)

 Jacob took the picture (below) of Mom and I today...

I am SO grateful for my mama----and for all that she has done to bless this family over the years!!! May God bless her in return----with much joy, good health, and peace in abundance!

 I was looking through pictures that I had on my phone and thought I'd post some of them here... 

This is the smallest potted plant I've ever seen!  It was a gift from "My" girls.  :)

 A robin in the snow last week...

 Having fun with old hats...

 

Me in blue...

 

I don't know if anybody remembers when I used to post a picture and have you all guess what it was?  Well, I thought I'd post a picture like that again, for old times' sake...

 

 I saw this picture and am guessing some of you may not know what this "Thing" is, so if you'd like to leave your guess as a comment, I'll wait a couple of days to post your guesses and then we'll see if anybody guesses correctly!  :)

 

Happy guessing!
