Spring is almost here

We love springtime on the farm! The calendar says that March 20th(Pam's Birthday) is the first day of Spring, in fact when Pam was born, the woman in the room with her Mother said," If I had a baby girl born on the first day of Spring ,I would name her Spring Flowers", So glad Pamela Jo won out! The weather is cool in the morning and evening but so pretty during the day and everything is so green, and of course lots of babies re being born here. Right now we have 4 lambs , 6 goat kids and a couple of dozen baby chicks, It is so fun to have all of the babies...... Friday was our first field trip visit by a kindergarten class from St. John's Luthern School. Next week we will have 3 schools here and each week after we have groups coming to visit.
We plan on getting our kitchen garden planted and then we will transplant our roses and create a beautiful rose garden. The trees are beginning to blossom and flowers are blooming every day.
Spring is really about new beginnings.....

The week before surgery

Steve's surgery is scheduled for Monday, March 16th at 7:30 am. Dr. Cory Albertstone is the Neurosurgeon and the surgery will take place at St. Johns in Oxnard. He will spend the night in the hospital and will come home on St.Patricks Day. The hard part will be keeping him down for 6 weeks. He has really struggled with lots of pain for a month now, so it will be a relief to have him comfortable again and off of all the pain meds. We're asking for your prayers for the hands of the surgeon and for a speedy recovery.
