Spring Inspiration A good friend sent me this poem--a reminder that new life comes every year. When the sun comes down to earth, so to speak, we get into it. When the sun lies long against the ground and gets warm into it then we come out of the rooms and lie down, bandaged here and there like warriors. When the sun comes warm and clear down to the ground then we crawl on our bellies or backs or otherwise into it. When it comes down hard touching beyond equivocation when it is not lost head-high in the air when the sun comes down hard enough to mean spring then it invites us into it as it invites the leaf out of its dark twig and pigment pleads its passion in the sun. I know and reknow this every year. -source unknown- Pictures above--

Thoroughly enjoyed your rambling of Life to Sparta.... My wife and I are approaching retirement and recently completed renovating a farmhouse outside of Sparta. It took four years to complete as we live out of town but long to be there soon. Family Life issues have delayed our coming but we hope this is our year.. My wife wants to have chickens.. we will have top stop by one day to talk about it. Best of luck in your developing farmlife and sparta is truly a wonderful place o be. Bob & Ann Shuler
