The Greening of Ohio.

Farmers talk about the weather. I don’t know many other farmers, so I’ll tell you. It was cold and then it was really warm and rainy and thunderstorm-like. And now it’s cold and really windy.
Two days of 65+ degree weather and Ohio changed her clothes. Someone whispered in her ear: green is the new brown. And despite the snow today, everyone knows it. The birds are talking, the frogs are serenading, the flowers are bulbing, the skunk cabbage is stinking, the fake ladybugs are multituding, and the cows. The cow council (hereafter referred to simply as the herd) decided to send one calf out into the world to see if the situation is prime for being alive. Preliminary reports are leaning towards yes.
