Happy Spring.  From the Pioche, Nevada Record, 04-March-1916. 

Transcontinental Railroad -- March 20, 2010

Today I went to Pete's Harbor on Smith Slough in Redwood City to speak to the Daughters of the American Revolution at the Waterfront Restaurant. Last year the Fifth Grade teacher at Good Shepherd School in Pacifica had her students participate in an essay contest sponsored by the DAR. She asked me to come and talk to the class. One of her students won, although I don't think I had anything to do with it, and the DAR honored her at a luncheon. She read her essay, and then I talked about the building of the transcontinental railroads. There was a very good question about why Warren Buffett wanted to buy BNSF. It was fun.

Today is also the first day of Spring.

Little Lamb -- March 13, 2010

We visited Ardenwood Farm in Fremont today. A sign by the road invited people to meet the babies. It was nice to have a sunny day, although it was still chilly. We ate our picnic in the car. There were two new lambs, both February 28. I took the photo today.

This is my 600th post.

Spring #2 -- March 21, 2009

We visited Ardenwood Farm in Fremont today. A sign by the road invited people to meet the babies. There were lots of people with kids and lots of lambs. The goats did not have kids. These were two of the cutest lambs, although I was also partial to a black one with long legs and big ears. All the railroad cars had tarps on their roofs.

Spring -- March 20, 2009

Today is the first day of Spring. Be sure to spring at someone you love.

I took the photo of a ewe and the new black sheep of the family in March, 2006 at Ardenwood Farm.
