Sibbald News: Recent Rains

By Lee Switzer

Today’s (May 20) drizzle and rains have stopped seeding operations that are well underway in the area. The recent rains have made the countryside so green and lush. Buffalo beans wave their bright yellow blooms in the ditches. As the cow/calf pairs are hauled to pastures, the pastures are greening up and look great. What a difference a year can make. Feeling grateful and blessed with the moisture.

Hard to believe that two young couples participated in Graduation weekend with their oldest children graduating! Cash Norris, son of Greg and Jerilyn and Danica Woods, daughter of Scott and Shelaine, celebrated this special milestone along with the 2024 Graduation class of South Central High School. Friday night was the Cap ’n Gown event and Saturday was the  Banquet and Formal evening with all events being held at South Central High School. The Norris and Woods families hosted a delicious barbecue and gathering at grandma and grandpa Norris’ red barn on Sunday, May 19. The cool wind didn’t keep anyone away as family and the local community celebrated the success of Cash and Danica!

Always laugh at the concept of camping on the May long weekend. Usually the weather is poor and we are always working then; whether it’s seeding or in our farmyard. For the folks that got away I hope you had fun and for the rest of us stay safe during this busy season. Take care.
