Chicks take a morning stroll with their mother.
All photos were taken by Ellen Maher and Katey Batavia at Robert is Here: farmer’s market, antique farm equipment, animals to feed, and so much more!
Ellen and Katey brought me a delicious papaya and a perfect avocado from Robert is Here.

Happy Memorial Day!
Hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend.
Take a moment to appreciate those who died in defense of your country. Think about the values they were defending. Support democracy, and fight to preserve the rights and freedoms promised to you in the Constitution.
Lovely animal photos, Cheryl!

Fun photos! What bliss to receive the ‘perfect’ avocado as a gift from your daughters. 😉
“Think about the values they were defending.” And we ‘fight’ as best we can to defend them as individuals in this present hour.

Laura, thank you for your kind reply. 💐
Maybe I should have said “resist.” I would not advocate violence. On the other hand, we do try to “fight” a cold or other illness.
Hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day weekend. 💕
