March 1st, the first day of a new month, National Nutrition Month, National Pancake Day, the beginning of March Madness... There are so many things to celebrate &/or recognize this month, where does one start? As a dairy farmer, I'd like to think March is going to bring me warmer days and the beginning of green pastures, budding trees and spring flowers. Occasionally March brings snow to the Ozarks, but I'm cautiously optimistic that Mother Nature will be kind this year. We've had enough snow, thank you very much.
On the farm, we've had a few new babies and the green grass is emerging in the pastures, much to the cows delight. Robins and toads have been spotted, spring peepers have started to serenade us and the teachers tell me the kids are getting cabin fever at school. Spring is definitely arriving...thank goodness.
Every month seems to have a celebration theme and this month is nutrition. As we start to give way to old habits and forget our New Years Resolutions, we can begin eating healthier meals and snacks. There are wonderful resources at

I'm thinking my family might enjoy celebrating National Pancake today with pancakes for supper, and an ice cold glass of milk!
