Country CousinIssue Date: March 21, 2019 Spring has sprung!
Hallelujah! This past week we've been enjoying some really spring-like weather, especially during the day, and it looks like there's more to come, at least during the day. Spring officially arrived today as scheduled, so apparently the shirt-sleeve days were the real thing and not just a delayed January thaw.
The only rain predicted for the next 10 days is called for on Sunday, March 24. No snow in the forecast!
Predictions are for a week of days not quite as fine as the past few, but we...

From My WindowIssue Date: March 21, 2019 Now I am a Statistic
By Jane Thibodeau Martin,
My first Wisconsin winter has been a record breaker. That said, I have been a little smug about how well I have been handling it. No despair, no vehicle mishaps, only minor bouts of cabin fever, and just got stuck once. This week was warm and rainy, causing a pussy willow shrub along our road to begin to stir. Spring is just around the corner and I was rejoicing.

In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the EARTH Genesis 1:1. Because of our nation's rebellion against God, we elect childish legislators, (... "capricious children will rule over them." Isaiah 3:4b), including the one elected in New York who frantically tells us we will destroy the earth in 12 years. While at the same time, they see no problem destroying human lives in the womb or after being born. (Don't think that the infirm and elderly won't be next.) Therein lies the problem. They fail to see what wil...

Menominee and Marinette residents, in the middle of the night and without warning are suddenly and abruptly awakened to the thundering sound and howl of a thousand roaring freight trains coming down the Menominee river at a speed equal to a giant jet airplane taking off from the Menominee County airport.
Compare this to the Vale Mining Company's Brumadinho tailings dam collapse (2nd Vale dame collapse in 3 years) releasing over 36 million cubic yards of tailings slime at Minas Gerais, Brazil on 1/25/19 kill...

Country Cousin National Pi Day"¦Issue Date: March 15, 2019 Finally we were getting some decent weather! One advantage of the wicked winter we've been through is that it made ordinary winter days seem like harbingers of Spring.
And then it started raining. The rain is expected to continue pretty much off and on for the next two weeks, with a little sun sprinkled in, and a bit of snow perhaps on Friday.
Looks like we are in for at least two weeks of good maple syrup weather, with daytime highs well above freezing and night time temperatures just below.
Spring is due to officia...
