So, there is a pond we drive by on our way home from the grocery store. For the last month or so there has been a swan sitting on its nest there. We have all been pretty mesmerized by the swan sitting on her eggs- in all kinds of weather- there she faithful sits protecting her babies, even in some very cold weather.
Yesterday as Darling Daughter and I drove by she said, “I wonder if the swan had its babies”. As we looked we saw both Daddy and Mommy Swan with their babies! It was a beautiful moment.
So tonight we all stopped and took LOTS of pictures. Quite fitting as Mother’s Day approaches.
“He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.”
-Isaiah 40:11
My sister Mary was with us- she was quite captivated too.
