The whirlwind of activity has resumed around here. The first calf was born on March 22, two days after I had left for Mississippi with a team of people to do hurricane relief work. We named her Cajun, in honor of my whereabouts! No babies were even due until I 
returned, but some just couldn't wait, as there were a handful that made their appearance before I arrived back home. As of this morning I think the latest count is 42 calves.Today the first batch of 2009 cheese--Colby-- is in the works. Everyone was so excited about getting milk and butter again that the cheese just had to wait until now.
I've been learning about web design this month, too. It's amazing how God provides what we need when we need it. We met a new friend through pursuing advertising with the Terre Haute Tribune Star who helped me immensely with updating our website, and I actually understand enough to do it myself now! It's very gratifying to have the capability to make changes whenever the need arises now. Many thanks to Mike!
With a somewhat slow, cool start to spring for most of March and April, I have that much more appreciation for the recent warmth and the resulting growing grass, blooming trees, and smells of spring. It truly is my favorite time of year!
