Mother's day, and the feather

Since this was my mother's first mothers day without her mother, it was difficult to her to say the least. So I put something together for her to help her out. First I went outside gathered flowers, and put them together in a vase. That was the easy part of this. The second one is two plates filled with flower heads, mainly violets, and some orange flowers, that looked nice (I have no idea what they are though). This was a great use of a couple hours, I mean who can argue that putting a smile on your mother's face isn't worth that. This was so much better then any card. Today she apparently called a donut a "Glorious donut" or something like that. She's happy, and that alone is enough for me. What's better then helping your parents, especially your own mother, when she's having a tough time.































































This next object is a mosaic I made at around the end of the school year last year (around June 2010). I think you can guess what it is. It was the last piece of art I made that my grandma made. I remember the last words she said to me as well (summer 2010). "oh, you're such a dear". She was giving me a hug at the time, and then walked out. a week later she was gone. my mom offered to take me to see her in the hospital, but I said I could go tomorrow. How wrong I was, for she was gone when I woke up. I realized a few weeks later that if I had gone, in all likelyhood my mom wouldn't have gotten to stay with her mother as long as she did, for if I had been there we would have left hours earlier. I take comfort in the fact that she got to see her mother, and I don't mind. Would I have liked to see her? of course I would have! I loved her. When I think of how I should act I think of her. She was a great role model. But I realize it was/is more important for my mom to get to see her, then for me, I'm happier knowing that.

















Sadly this feather, is all that remains of a fight. A fight in which a pigeon lost. A cat was able to get a pigeon eating birdseed. my dad tried to chase it away. It worked temporarily. But the bird being injured, only made it off of our poarch before the cat got it around the neck. My dad tried to chase the cat, in the hopes it would drop the bird. The cat, with the pigeon in it's mouth, took off. The cat got away, with the bird, it's safe to assume the bird didn't get away.
poor bird.
