Spring has been in the air, much of the snow has melted, the Canada geese and robins are back and gophers have been spotted.
Some farmers have baby calves born already or are beginning their calving season.
March 20 was the first day of spring and as often happens on the first day of spring many areas got another blast of winter.

Many folks may be a fan of the actor Ryan Reynolds who has achieved much fame in the film industry.
But few probably know of his connection to the County of Stettler.
Ryan Reynolds’ grandfather Clarence Reynolds was born in 1902 in Chicago but immigrated to Canada in 1906 with his family to take a homestead at Gadsby.
Clarence grew up and was educated at Gadsby, married Helen Long in 1938 and became a farmer in the Gadsby district.
The couple had four children, including Ryan’s father James Reynolds, born in 1941.
Clarence Reynolds was elected as an MLA in the Social Credit Party and represented the Stettler Constituency from 1940-1944 in the Alberta Legislature.
The family later moved to Vancouver where Ryan was born and where both Clarence and James (a retired RCMP officer) passed away in 1983 and 2015 respectively.
Things to Ponder —
“Did you realize that 1970 and 2022 are as far apart at 1970 and 1918?”
“A bad attitude is like a flat tire. You can’t get very far until you change it.”
“You do not find a happy life. You build it.”
