Deadline for the receipt of entries is June 1. It’s the mothering time of year. Robins haul worms to feed screeching open mouths. Four adorable, week-old baby goslings paddle furiously behind their ma jestic Canada goose mother down on the pond. The birdfeeder stash es of sunflower seeds are disap pearing even faster than usual with the constant gobbling of our mother squirrel, obviously feeding a nest of young furrytails. One shiny black barnyard hen has one tiny, downy black chick she’ll scratch your eyes out to de fend if you get too close to them in the old bank bam. And a late spring batch of calves is waiting in the wings, their mothers growing so wide they can barely wiggle through the inevitable escape hole someone will find (or create) in the fences. Compared to birds and beasts, the mothering time for us humans stretches out much longer. Even when our offspring have fled our nests, we try mightily to keep in touch. Few technological ad vances have had the impact on keeping in touch with your mother as has the telephone. Most of us probably don’t call our mothers enough. But when you’re tired and down, up and glad, depressed or triumphant, who do you call? No, not Ghost busters. On Being a Farm Wife (and other hazards) i Joyce Bupp You call your mothei When you’ve just been bom and the world is new, And people you’ve met still number few, And hunger pains keep your naps askew (Loudly!) As you learn to toddle and take a fall While climbing stairs out in the hall. Nothing’s better when you're hurt and small (Sobbing) Then comes the age when you’re off to school Some smart alec kid makes you look a fool And it’s tough to follow the Golden Rule ... l (But Mom, it was HIS fault!) Soon comes a day when you get an “A” You rush that paper home straightaway For a pat on the back and a hug as pay (She’s SO proud of you!) She dreads your entering teen-age years When no adult is as smart as your peers But who keeps quiet about those fears? . (Some of the time.) At long, long last you’ve finally grown You pack your things and leave your home Who misses you most when you’re on your own? (And Dad.) So now that Mother’s Day’s drawn nigh Though she might shed a tear, begin to cry Pause a moment and tell her why ... you love your mother. Call your mother. She’ll love you for it. call mother. call mother. fuss to mother from mother. mother.
