As I sit and think about the past 2 months, trying to educate people about the National Heritage Areas and the 30×30 plan, I look at the time I have spend focusing on that and not enjoying Spring. Of course I have had 9 baby goats born on the farm and lost 2. One was due to a hard birth and the other it is suspected got smashed by an older goat. Yeah, goats like humans can be cruel at times. But Spring is finally here and it is time to enjoy it before Summer arrives abruptly.
The leaves on the trees are finally out and the lilacs have bloomed. The last blast of winter we hope is gone until next winter and new life begins. It is time for planting a garden and anxiously awaiting the first garden harvests of fresh lettuce and radishes and peas. It is time to start watching for fawns and the Humming birds return.
Spring is re-birth time and it is my hope that in spite of the federal government going into overdrive stupidity that we can all just take time to enjoy the evening air, the frogs in the pond singing and a chance to once again, smell the roses blooming on the bush.
Remember, it is the little things in life that make them worth living, in spite of mankind’s stupidity. After all, God’s Creation is a mighty force and a most beautiful of all things.
