Emma has been working hard on a school play entitled “Big Bad” which puts the Big Bad Wolf on trial supported with a cast of characters including little red riding hood, the three pigs, and Little Miss Muffet.

Linda has been in Manhattan (Kansas, not the island) the last few days presenting at a conference.  She reports that in spite of the snow there and en route, spring is on the way as they saw large flocks of migrating snow geese flying north.  Back at the farm, I saw the first robin of the year. I hope the animals know something, because it sure still looks, feels, and smells like the dead of winter out there.
