Colorado Rockies - Beautiful Mother Earth |
“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
Mother Teresa
Mother's Day is a great time to tell Mom how much you appreciate all she has done for you but it's not a bad time to look around at our beautiful Mother, the Earth, and offer thanks to her too.
