Spring
When temperatures warm up and nature thrives;
When sleep eludes, yet energy abounds;
Everywhere, the miracle of life can be found.
Calving season starts suddenly one day,
Then wraps up quietly, before you’re onto the next season: HAY!
Here’s to hoping your calving season is going well, and is a beacon of the good things ahead in the coming year!
May your bottom line be filled with Black Ink,
Miranda
