Ahh….it’s Spring! The snow has melted and the mud has dried. The crocus are in full bloom. Daffodils and hyacinths are poking up through the soft earth. The days are filled with the sound of bird song and spring peepers are peeping the night away. Hawks and crows are arguing over territory while the bald eagle remains perched on his favorite fishing tree. Wood ducks and mallards have returned to the pond and the turtles are basking on the rocks. My horses and goats are soaking in the warmth and the hens are laying. Life is good as I spend my days dizzy with thoughts of all I want and need to do. It is the season of renewal; a time to be productive. But before I get busy with all that I need to take some time to reflect on the past twelve months.
