Phone: 785-994-6370 (home) or 785-476-5206 Monday morning, February 20, I wore my heavy Carhartt coat, stocking hat, gloves, and winter skins (fancy for long underwear) to do morning chores and found it warm and didn’t need them. The weather was springlike, with birds singing and calves being born. Like typical Kansas weather, Wednesday and Thursday brought frigid temperatures, and the weekend was warm and sunny until Sunday evening, thunder and lightning brought a fast-moving shower. I have always liked calving season and watching little calves cavort, but warmer weather causes fewer worries. Adding to the stress, I watched a coyote creeping out of our windbreak one morning. Spring won’t arrive until March 20, but that never means “spring” in northwest Kansas.
