In the middle of a 15,000 acre mixed farm
You can tell sure enough when you meet a stranger if the first thing they speak of after the “How ja do’s” is the weather. Then you know straight away you are speaking to a person of the land.
These gentlemen and ladies are mental encyclopedias of information on the current weather, last couple of year’s weather, similar seasons over the last 30 years and what the forecasts for the next 6 months are going to be. They can do so as they have firsthand personal experience and are gifted at pattern recognition and predictive consequences of weather trends. Additionally they are studious observers of Mother Nature and take their clues in part from what nature is doing. Many of these patrons of land husbandry keep daily journals of the weather, activities, crops, thoughts and reflections for planning and tracking progress. And for the most part are happy enough to share the information.
Unless you drive up in a shiny car wearing a business suit, carrying a briefcase, then you must be one of preacher, banker, lawyer, politician or salesman. None of which they have any time for and will not give them the correct time of day or accurate directions back to the highway. They have no time to waste on dandies, hoop de do’s and carpetbaggers.
Practices and process seasoned over the generations of years which have served well are not discarded lightly and only then after considerable first hand proof of a better way.

Remembering our Roots
“April showers bring May flowers” we are led to believe. I certainly hope so as we can always use the moisture and it will help wash away the accumulated dust and snow molds which are so hard on spring allergies.
The dogs of course are in their glory and delight in thrashing around at top speed and rolling in the exposed grass and dirt when not galloping madly through water puddles. Time and patience will be required to clean their fur and dig the mud out of their paws or risk having it all over the house. But their exuberance of spring is very contagious and they warm my heart.
It has been a long winter.
Enjoy
