Spring has Sprung, I think

Yesterday was the first day of spring, but the temps were telling me different. I did see allot of robins hopping around, so they are back. There is an old wives tale that says, before it will stay warm it has to snow on the robins three times. If that's true it will have to snow here two more times because the ground is now white once again. It is suppose to warm up to almost 50 or so today, so the snow should be gone by tonight. When it snows like that it makes things that more sloppy.

The other day the husband went to a place where they sell livestock and come home with two calves. They are not newly born, they are a little older then that. He was going to call them Norman and Norbert but the oldest one said we can't do that because we already had a Norman. That was years ago. The reason we might call him Norman is because he is a Jersey, like the one that was on City Slickers. I'm still trying to figure out how a Jersey calf came out of a beef cow like that.
I want to get a picture of them and post it maybe sometime today or tomorrow.
The husband has noticed the turkeys are starting to come around again. As soon as they come close enough for a picture I will post that also. They should be coming to the bird feeders to look for seeds. Soon the tom turkeys will starting to court the hens. That is one picture I hope to someday get, a tom turkey in full strut close to the house.

I'm going to go have my breakfast. I might post more later today or tomorrow.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
