Abbott "Pete" Smith D.V.M. June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010 |
Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017), including his wife Jody (1938-2021).
"Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity;
so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand."
Jody admired snowflakes. She liked the distinctive designs of lace and ice. She marveled at the "miniature ice masterpieces" and their timeless beauty.
The Snowflake: Winter's Secret Beauty by Kenneth Libbrecht was a favorite in the Milliron library. The hardcover (photo above) is faded and worn, a gift to Jody. It's a "field guide to falling snow" that describes how a snowflake is made and why no two are alike.
Jody's tireless love and consistent devotion to nature is captured in hundreds of faded photos of Milliron Farm and snow. Here is a photo of Jody riding her New Forest Pony, Junco, on Milliron Farm.
