Happy Father's Day

To all you fathers and dads out there, especially this one. Thanks dad, for all the nature interests, fishing, identifying trees and plants and bugs and beasts, especially the birds. Without that I would not have known this morning that the lovely cascade of notes about a foot from the bedroom window at five AM was an Indigo Bunting. I would have still been awake but not nearly as well informed......Love you!

And to this guy too. He gave me a chance to enjoy Mother's Day from the receiving end, plus teaching me most of what I know about cows and farming. Love you too.

Happy Father's Day to this guy as well. As you can see he has a lot of patience for his little sunshine.

Plus this guy, a wonderful dad we think the world of....

These guys, who have kept life interesting over the years and turned out to be among the most amazing of father folk.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy both fun and family.....
