Thank goodness Alice in Dairyland was in town Saturday morning. Someone had to be there to warn everyone to stay out of Farmer Nelson's way as he tried his hand at plowing the streets.
Luckily the tractor wouldn't start, but the Waukesha Farmers' Market has. It's now open every Saturday from 7:00 till noon and Tuesday afternoons starting July 17th. It's still located at the Riverfront Plaza, downtown.
I found some beautiful bunches of flowers for only $5.00 each, so I bought three, one for each of the wonderful moms in my life. And I purchased three of Marylou's fresh, delicious muffins from the Sprizzo booth for the boys and me.
As I was leaving, my attention was diverted to the riverbank by several children watching something. A mother duck was trying to keep her 13 tiny ducklings safe right next to the swiftly flowing Fox. And where was the male, I asked. Across the other side of the river doing his own thing, of course.
"Did any moms get breakfast in bed", our priest asked this morning. No one raised their hands. Found out after mass that one mother did get breakfast in bed. With their kids grown and gone her husband brought her breakfast in bed! She's a very lucky mom.
Happy Mothers' Day moms!
