I can say we've had a mixed bag of weather within the last week. Last Thursday and Friday we had temps in the single digits and wind chills below zero. Today its a balmy 35 degrees. The ice from a previous ice storm is quickly disintegrating leaving little patches of grass peeking through.
Yesterday, as I was heading to town, I was driving down my road through this flock of birds. It took me a minute to realize it, but they were Robins! The first sign of Spring. I called my mom and told her. I never heard if the groundhog saw his shadow or not, but she said that he didn't--so Spring is around the corner if you follow that lore.
Ahh, Spring! Like I said before, I like each season as it comes. But, Spring seems to be the most spectacular of all. It amazes me how so many things lay dormant all Winter and somehow God designed them to know when to wake up. It just amazes me. Daffodils, Crocuses and Snowdrops will start to sprout. Then the grass will start to green-up. The Red-Winged Blackbirds will return and the Turkey Buzzards too. Temperatures will slowly climb. The days will get longer. Then there will be all the new babies! Baby birds, baby rabbits, baby groundhogs, calves, foals, chicks--oh so exciting!

Roscoe
A good walking buddy and awesome frisbee catcher! Life cut short by a brain tumor.
Tuffy
If ever there was a candidate for Dog Heaven, it would be Tuff. Tuff was put to rest December 7, 2012. At almost 14 years old, he threw the longevity curve for dogs of his breed-makeup and size. He battled 2 types of cancer and Cushing's Disease as well as arthritis. Faithful to the end and never grumpy, depite the constant care and nagging from me. Always the protector, gentleman and companion--you will be sorely missed by all who had the opportunity to know you.
Cranky Thomas
Ever wonder why it's called "Life On CT Farm"? The horse you see in the pictures is Cranky Thomas, a registered quarter horse gelding. He was born May 5, 1980 in Galion, Alabama and passed away August 3, 2004 on CT Farm--his farm. He originally belonged to my husband, but I adopted him and I think he adopted me. We competed together in contest classes at local horse shows. But, an old injury finally slowed him down and I retired him in 2000. He was a loving and patient being that I completely trusted and admired. There will never be another like him, never. He meant so much to me that I named our farm after him as well as my company, Cranky T. LLC. He's gone now, but is still with me and now you.

Spring seems to be on the way here as well. Snow is beginning to melt and the air feels softer.
