Mother’s Day comes in many forms — mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers, caregivers. There is also Mother Earth to consider, here and there and everywhere. On the Vineyard, one could say it is to Martha we pay homage. 

But whatever form a mothering nature takes, it is a blessed thing. Give thanks, on this day, and every day.
