Feeling blessed and deeply rooted in finding peace. Every spring it feels like my family goes hard at life, starting in February and going well into May. Cattle-wise it’s calving, weaning and butchering finished cattle. Family-wise it’s high school trap shooting, FFA events, Farm to Fork fundraising, usually some personal or professional travel or both, Easter, proms and graduations. Pretending-wise it’s acting like I’m on top of landscaping the yard, when in reality the score every single year is Yard 1, Dixi 0.
Take time to notice the spring blooms, like these lilacs.
