Well it’s not supposed to be! Welcome to the infamous January thaw. After 12+ hours of steady rain here, we are dealing with a problem that we normally don’t encounter until March. With the ground frozen, all of that water has had fewer places to go and drain off, meaning that it’ found its way . . . → Read More: Spring runoff?

Cadenza and her as yet unnamed Snowmass Elite Legend son in the CCNF Arena's warm room on Friday morning. The photo at left was one I took late last week after Cadenza’s newborn son had dried off and was starting to look more presentable to the outside world. We’ll be gradually weaning him off . . . → Read More: Cadenza’s little man Amazing what a difference in one’s perception 3″ to 4″ of snow can make, no? After coming home from our family trip on the 8th to find the landscape here completely brown and grey, the recent cold and the back to back mini storms of late last week have now put things back, visually at . . . → Read More: Winter, actually. With our kids’ Thursday afternoon ski program scheduled to start up this week, what could have been a rather scattered day filled with multiple commutes in two different directions, instead got fairly straightforward when Mother Nature intervened and gave us our first snow day of 2012. There I was, shortly after 6AM, refreshing the school . . . → Read More: Herd health day interrupted for the right reasons We just got home last night after 12 marvelous days away in the BVI sailing with the Young clan. Other than a slightly finicky onboard generator, the time afloat was essentially flawless. I still have Kelsey Young’s good natured (and slightly naughty in the best sense of the word) cackle burned into my auditory memory . . . → Read More: Back at it 
Invictus as a yearling at last falls' Green Mountain show. Was it 'da shoes? Probably not. We had some suspicions about this young fellow when he first hit the ground. He just looked other. Admittedly when we bred Invictus’ dam Opal with his sire, Precocious, we were hoping for something a little darker than . . . → Read More: Promotion to the Stud Barn Part 2: CCNF Invictus Happy new year everybody, we’ve got wifi! Not enough bandwidth to pick up today’s Arsenal/Fulham match but beggars can’t be choosers. The Lutz and Young clans are currently (and happily it must be said) bobbing around the BVI in the 50′ catamaran, Freedom Seeker. Lots of sailing, reading (I’m currently on Keith Richards’ autobiography), game . . . → Read More: What DO you do with a drunken sailor? 
CCNF Tenacious We were truly gutted earlier this year when we lost our beloved foundation female, Tessora, to a virulent inner ear infection. Though she was only with us for 5 or 6 years, her influence here was profound and will continue to be felt for years to come. There are not that many . . . → Read More: Promotion to the Stud Barn Part 1: CCNF Tenacious Phew! We just got through the craziness that was the Christmas weekend and with the exception of Maxy fighting off a minor viral bug (knocking on wood) he picked up from his cousins, it seems we the humans of CCNF are all unscathed and happy. Wish I could say the same was true at all . . . → Read More: All aboard… 
Christmas band at CCNF Merry Christmas everybody! To those of you of other persuasions, enjoy the proverbial Chinese food and the empty movie theaters, I hear that’s pretty great too! We’re gathered here with the extended Lutz family from Cambridge, MA (my mom and dad) and NYC (sister, brother, and two nieces) taking in . . . → Read More: Merry Christmas! |
