It's Been Winter So Long...
Are We Ever Ready For Spring
I picked the first handful of daffodils two days ago signaling a month long blooming period for the over 14 varieties of flowering bulbs planted on Deshea Creek Farm. At the peak, there are thousands of flowers poking up by the creek, in
the fields, next to the house, down the hills and in the woods.

View From The Front Porch
By Stan Hitchcock
The U.S. Navy Offers A Moveable Stage….
 I graduated from Pleasant Hope High School in May of 1954. I had turned 18 on the 21st of March, had never been out of the hills of the Ozarks and
was looking for an adventure where I could travel, have a secure place to sleep, 3 meals a day and some walking around money….hey! let's join the Navy! So, three months later, on August 12, 1954, I headed off to bootcamp to learn the
finer points of sailormanship. Figured it couldn't be too hard to learn about boats, ships and big body's of water since I had grown up on a creek that ran through our farm, had been baptized in the Sac River and knew how to swim fairly
well. I had also studied about Jonah and the whale that swallowed him and then the Lord spoke to the fish and it vomited him up on dry land, if the Lord could do that for Jonah then I was sure He could get me through 4 years of the Navy.
