“This old world is filled with wonders, but to me there is no place more wonderful than a farm in springtime, when the sun is just lifting from the sky line. The air is so sweet and everywhere you look, little miracles are happening. Buds swell into blossoms, eggs hatch, young are born. Everything’s off to a fresh start, and life is good and busy and brand new…”
Narrator (Rex Allen), opening lines of “Charlotte’s Web”, 1973 animated film
Last week, I discovered this tiny baby muskrat in my backyard. It was about the size of a golf ball. Cute!
