ANN BAILEY: Rain is good, in manageable doses
“When it rains, it pours.” There are times in my life when that old saying has been true figuratively and other times, literally. This past week, I was reminded of it the literal sense.

ANN BAILEY: Gardening catalogs sow seeds of spring planting
What a beautiful week of weather. A week before the official start of spring, it felt more like spring than it did in May last year.
If North Dakota history repeats itself, we’re likely to get some snow before spring really arrives — and stays. As I told my children, we really can’t count on being snow-free until mid-May. However, that hasn’t stopped me from enjoying the great weather we’re having now. If snow does hit the ground during the next several weeks, it quickly will melt, and then we can say we had a short winter.

ANN BAILEY: Dealing with livestock is not without its perils
Considering how many years I’ve worked with livestock, my injuries have been pretty minor. In fact, in 50 years of being around cows, horses or both, there has been only one livestock-related trip to the doctor’s office and that wasn’t the direct result of an encounter with livestock, but instead a clumsy move on my part when I was feeding the horses.

FACES: North Dakota’s cold winter weather doesn’t keep marathon runner Anne-Marie Studer inside
Not even frigid North Dakota winter weather can cool Anne-Marie Studer’s enthusiasm for outdoor running.
“Just because it’s cold outside, doesn’t mean you don’t run,” Studer said. “You just pile on more layers.” At the end of her daily runs, it’s more typical to be too warm, than too cold, Studer noted.

ANN BAILEY: In victory or defeat, the lessons of sports are the lessons of life
On Saturdays when I was growing up, I used to watch ABC’s Wide World of Sports. I can’t remember much about the content of the programs, but I vividly can recall the introduction, which featured scenes from several sporting events, including a skier falling head over heels, while a voice intoned about “The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.”

ANN BAILEY: Winter fun doesn’t depend on snow
About this time of year, our family usually has a bet about when the last pile of snow will melt.
The typical guess is mid-to -late April. That proves to be pretty much on target unless we get a late spring snow like we did last year. Then we didn’t see the last of the snow gone until mid-May. I think there even were some spots where the snow didn’t melt until late May.

Dozens and dozens of roses will go out the door of Bauer’s Flowers and Gifts on Tuesday, Valentine’s Day.
None of the roses, however, will come through the doors of the home of flower shop owners Kathi and Jeff Bauer. The Warren couple will be so busy selling and delivering roses to their flower and gift customers, they won’t be home until late that night.
