On this day, mothers received a variety of gifts or gestures from their children to celebrate Mother’s Day. They may have received flowers (including dandelions) or just a hug. Even this calf gives her mother a snuggle as the cow gives her baby a bath.

A half year can make a world of difference as instead of green grass and trees full of leaves, cattle are staring at a white world and trying to stay out out of the wind with wind chills dipping to minus forty.

The little calf was giving her mommy some face nuzzling while the mother was trying to eat grass.
