I am astonished at how fast this spring has happened here on Circle S.
It seems just like last week Roy, and I were sitting in our keeping room bundled in multi-layers of blankets as our electricity was down and so was our generator. Now we are sitting on our back porch listening to the birds sing and watching the cattle graze on the bright green grass that is growing in the pasturelands.
It somehow sneaks up on me every year but this time it was spontaneous as it was freezing one day and the next short sleeve weather. Instantaneous!

Southern Miss rallied all weekend, and it was fitting that it needed another one to win the series against a gritty Troy ball club.
The No. 12 Golden Eagles didn’t panic.
Not when they fell behind by four runs early. Not after dropping Friday night’s opener. And not in a tense, back-and-forth finish against a Troy team that looked every bit like a Sun Belt contender, despite its record.
