The days are getting blissfully longer and the mornings are starting earlier every day. It seems to get easier to get up and get going in the morning when the sun is coming up with you.
Of course now that the animals are getting more anxious and energetic after being cooped up for so long, they seem to find ways to get into trouble. This morning when I went out to do chores something just didn’t seem right. And then I figured out that the horse was on the cow’s side of the barn and the bull was on the horse side. So after a few minutes of asking a prodding them back into their own areas, (one does not TELL a bull to do anything) I fixed the wire that had fallen and got everyone fed and watered.
So I am off today for a long day of campaigning in Peshtigo at the GOP 8th District Caucus gathering and then on to help out over at the Woods in Green Bay where there is a terrific event to benefit the March of Dimes.
I see in the news that Madame Pelosi is still attempting to force through some terrible deal to get the Government Takeover of Health Care Act passed. They just don’t get it do they. If it is so hard to get even your own members to sign on, then there must be something terribly wrong with it. We know that, and I will vote to repeal this disaster if it somehow gets through. We have better ideas how to reform the system. I support the efforts and plans that Paul Ryan has proposed and would support them when I get to Washington.

OK, I officially declare that it is unfair to tease us with these hints of Spring weather in the middle of February when we know darn well it’s too early to hope for change…ooops, sorry for that not so veiled reference.

Spent a large part of the day yesterday and on late into the night working on our campaign bus/motorhome transformation. Check out what the finished product is supposed to look like. We intend on being everywhere we can all summer long proudly displaying the symbol of our Constitution, and earning your support to be your representative in Congress.

We need help to pay for the materials and the operating expenses, so if you can spare a few bucks to “Back the Bus”, then please contribute to our efforts at  www.savardforcongress.com and make this a team effort all across the district showing our respect and reverence for our Constitution and our Country. We hope to appear in every small town and village and gather folks together to stand up for our beliefs in freedom and liberty, just as the Sons of Liberty did in 1773, throwing a Tea Party to protest what they saw as an assault on their rights and way of life.

So join with us as our Army of Davids gathers strength and numbers…….for our Country’s sake.

And don’t forget to add to your schedule the 2nd Annual Green Bay Tea Party scheduled for March 20th at Leicht Park, next to Titletown Brewing Co. on the Fox River at 11am.

Back the Bus!

Everyone on the Farm is really getting anxious to stretch their legs and get outside. But since we live near the 45th parallel we have a ways to go before we can think of Spring.
The 2 Cows are starting to really show their pregnant condition, and we can start to watch for the signs soon.
The 50 laying hens bedding is starting to get pretty thick and could use a cleaning out, but the farmer hasn’t been home very much to give it a go. And the horse is definitely ready to run and play, but she too has to wait.
We have had the seed catalogs out on the kitchen table and today is the day to start planning for the season. As many businesses have to do, we have to make some educated decisions on how the markets will fare for us this summer and what our labor availability and cost will be, and then decide what to grow. We are not too optimistic on how things will go for the tourist industry this coming year. With unemployment still near %10 and folks lacking confidence in our Federal and State Governments ability to control their spending, we need to be very careful about our own.
Tomatos, lettuce and beans are always part of the farm’s bounty, but with this farmer being a dirty rotten politician this summer we will have to make some concessions to reality and time on what we can handle. Last year we raised near 1000 broiler chickens, yet we will have to decide if we can do that many this year. And we will place our order for a few piglets to raise for our years supply of pork products.
So we will watch the weather, begin to clean out the greenhouse for the April 1st start up, begin to think about tapping some trees for our years supply of Maple Syrup and think Spring!
