This date is the 55th Anniversary of Carol Ellen Hodgdon's passing. While that is a lifetime, it seems like it was just yesterday. I miss her more everyday.


Later,

Rex

    I'm so sorry Rex. I can feel your sadness. Hope you hang out here a little more often. I miss your descriptions of Carol's pond.

    I am so sorry for you. I didn't know her but remember seeing her. I didn't have any classes with her, but I remember that day. It broke my heart. So sorry for you. Hugs. Lettie

Carol's Dragon Fly Ranch home of Carol's Pond March 7, 2021 Hopefully hibernation season is over. It appears that spring has sprung. There were a lot of daffodils blooming in the side ditch but a hard rain beat about all of the blooms off the stems. But more popped up, including the ones in Carol's yard. Also there are tiny white flowers and some blue and purple ones as well and of course my favorite, dandelions. During that cold snap, Carol's Pond froze over and that is not acceptable at all. Mother Nature are you listening? There were several ducks that stuck around most of the winter, but I have not seen them today. They were very fast swimmers, fast enough to create a good wake behind them. I dubbed them the Shore Patrol. Those of you that were in the military know what the shore patrol is. For those that weren't, it is Naval Military Police. There has also been a darter around this spring. A darter is a type of cormorant and its feathers a...

  August 10, 2025 Carol’s Dragonfly Ranch Home of Carol’s Pond It has been rather quiet around here. I think the heat is the culprit. All of my livestock, Sam, Jr, Samantha and Samatha Jane are in hiding, But there are some new members around. Last week I saw a pair of Roadrunners. Normally I only see one at a time. I hope they settle in and stay. They are pretty and very tall. The door from the sunroom is a full length glass or from 6 inches off the floor to the top. The first time a roadrunner came up and stuck his head right up to the glass, checking out my living conditions. Kind of like barracks inspection in the USAF. They are not afraid. My neighbors across the street have 4 yapping mutts, ankle biters that bark all the time. It they think someone in China is going to fart, they bark. The people on the east side of me have 2 dogs. One is a super stupid Schnauzer and the other is part great dane and part pitbull. The Schnauzer barks ever...

   Carol’s Dragonfly Ranch Home of Carol’s Pond April 27, 2026 April is almost over, just 3 more days. It has warmed up enough today I may have to turn on the AC. I may have to change the name of this blog to Carol’s Rabbit Ranch. I was out last night hunting armadillos and saw 2 cottontails in the side yard and this morning there was one in the back yard. Yesterday morning on my way to church, 2 deer went across the road in front of me. I enjoy watching them jump fences. It is still very dry. We need rain desperately. The turtles in Carol’s Pond have claimed one end of Goat Island. My neighbor dropped a couple of pine trees in the pond over by the dam and the turtles like them too. Samantha, the green lizard that likes to flirt with me was walking the deck rails a couple of weeks ago and Sam a brown and blue lizard may have taken up residence in the garage. I left the door open a inch or so. But I do not know if he stayed or left. My hea...
