Between cement cracks Fragrant wildflowers blossom kissed by golden rays

Ready or not, Mother’s Day will be here soon. A pleasant reminder, if you will, that Spring has sprung at last...well, at least, that’s what the calendar says!
It’s here, falling fast! Snowflakes land wet and heavy. Tulips sadly droop.
by Rosalyn M. Carroll (Manlius 2021)
Despite the snow and chilly rain of late, (we need the rain, or so ‘they’ say), the wild abundance of Daffodils and Tulips this year should make a perfect Mother’s Day bouquet! Their warm and familiar colors seem to rival all those joyfully bursting yellow Forsythia found growing everywhere this year!
drops of rain water dangle under a tree branch, temporary pearls

Nothing, though, seems to rival all the wind storms that this Spring has sprung…
so much wind today kids blow kisses through their wands bubbles chase me home
by Wendy E. Kaplan (Villas, N.J. 2020)

To celebrate Mother’s Day, our featured haiku poster is from our 2004 Series. Artist, Meaghan Arbital, has created a colorful complement to the wonderful haiku written by Poet, Molly English.
Onondaga Lake Shoreline; a nesting hotbed. Make way for goslings
Looking at this cheerful poster, it’s easy to see, even in nature, Mother’s Day seems to be synonymous with Spring blooms, birth, growth and nurturing.
Buds and baby birds grow together on branches fly away in fall

Despite ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, we hope your Mother’s Day is a pleasant and Spring-infused one!
