Out Like a Lion

Well, March came in like a lion this year and has left with the same gusto! I was suppose to take 80 High School students to Bemidji today for some performances but the school pulled the plug on the trip. We had all the students at school at 7:30 am ready to go and everything loaded in the bus before we cancelled it. I believe it was a good call because we ended up getting out of school at 1:00 because of the Winter Storm. There will be no pictures this time - just look at older posts. It is much of the same thing.

The Fargo/Moorhead area has been battling flooding. I was a Senior at Concordia in 1997 the last time there was a high threat of flooding. They actually closed all of the schools/college campuses/non-essential businesses for over a week this time. Please keep everyone who is battling the mighty Red River in our prayers.

The calving season has gone well. We have had 6 sets of twins and only 1 calf not make it. I guess it was laid on by another cow. Too bad. We are up to 48 babies in the "nursery!" The girls were able to watch the birth of twins the other day. Todd had to pull both calves. He said the girls didn't make one sound! I guess there were two miracles that occurred in the barn - the miracle of birth and the miracle of three quiet girls!

That is it for now!
