In between the ice storms, the thunderstorms, and the crazy temperature changes, I feel spring has headed our way. I love spring and all that it brings, beautiful weather, longer days, all the colors and baseball. But my most favorite part of spring is what it reminds me of and that is change.
No matter what our winter was like, soon, like a breath of fresh air, like I know my own name. I know spring will come and bring all the good things with it.

Readers may recall that Kelley Williams and I have written extensively about all the new Mississippi data centers, especially the huge one in Madison. Our beef is that these data centers will consume more electricity than all the other grid customers combined. Who is going to pay for this?

Below is a political opinion column by Roger Wicker:
U.S. Senator Roger Wicker carries peace through strength message to Europe.
The tyrants in China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are on the move, and their aggression makes at least one thing clear: America needs strong, reliable friends. In February, I traveled to Europe to bring a message to our most important allies. In this increasingly dangerous world, the nations of Europe and North America must stand united.

Life here on the Circle S is mostly the same routine and unchanging from day to day as we take care of the big black cows. We have been operating this cattle farm for over thirty years now and the main excitement is maybe a bull jumping the fence or new calves being born. That is, until yesterday.

I love them!
All kinds! The variety seems endless.
When I was little, I had a swing in a pear tree at Lillie Mae’s house where we lived in an apartment in part of her home. I went out to the tree and looked at it carefully before beginning to swing. I carefully sat on the small wooden plank and grasped the rope sides with my chubby little hands. Then the awesome feeling of flying began as I pushed off and soared up and down and thought my little feet would surely touch the blue sky powdered with white clouds. My heart soared, my grip tightened, and higher and higher I went!

It’s ‘tater planting time. And onions, edible pod and English peas, lettuces, and cabbage, all which grow and produce best this time of year and are harvested in plenty of time to set out tomatoes, peppers, squash, and basil.
I grow most of my veggies in large pots or a small, raised bed, which warms early and is easy to monitor water, fertilizer, and cover if needed during a sudden freeze.
