Spring has Sprung


The weather has definitely turned Spring-like and even more like Summer on a couple of occasions.  That has allowed me to get some early spring wheat planting done, and begin prepping for the upcoming planting season.  We could use some moisture now, but with no rain or snow in the forecast, we can only hope for those April showers.  In South Dakota that doesn't necessarily mean rain, but snow, and we'll take what we can get.  At the beginning of the month Brandon was able to participate in a coyote calling contest, and was able to call in and kill three coyotes over two days. The weather conditions were not the best, but he did manage to put a small dent in the population and secure second place in the contest.


Other than that, we've been watching a lot of wrestling.  Cordie and Marlys just returned from St. Louis after their inaugural trip to the NCAA Division I wrestling tournament.  It was a great experience, and they definitely plan on making a return trip at some point.  On the home front, Kellen managed to scrape out a third place finish at the Regional tournament in Pierre, which is good enough to earn him a spot in the State tournament in Brookings this weekend, March 28-29.  We were all very proud of his effort and performance in a tough bracket and tournament.
