This way too hot to way too cold is hard on me and all the plants. It is a tad nice for the early Spring flowers —- they can keep on blooming that way. 🙂
Sunday, Monday, and early morning Tuesday and Wednesday were a tad chilly.

“You know what, Dado?” I grabbed him as we were heading out to work.
“Those little grandkids growing up have passed so quickly. Those years are so full of such a deep happiness that only grandchildren can bring. It’s sad and wonderful, and perfect all at once.”

Our youngest grandchild has stepped out into the big world now. Tallin is on her way to college in a few weeks.
We were very blessed to have Blade and Karla home from Blade’s Air Force base in Ohio, and Linkin from her Air Force base in Alaska.
All our amazing grandkids are home for Tallin’s big day.
Congratulations, Tally!
From our world to your heart,

Last evening, shafts of sunlight flowed from the quilted clouds to shine through rain falling on the Uncompahgre Plateau.
The beauty of just seeing this gift from the sky to us, before the wind whirled everything away like an echo. Priceless.
I truly stand amazed.

Mom put me in my little blue box.
Okay, Mom. Don’t forget my goggles!
Mom did something with something, and then she
PUT THESE ON ME!!!
WOW!
I like them much better! I can see all around now. No wind or dirt in my eyes.
Hey! Mom! I really like these!!

A hand-blown glass heart! From a wonderful kid (he is the same age as our oldest daughter—they went to school together 🙂 )
“I know you love hearts!” He wrote.
What an amazingly wonderful gift and a huge Surprise!
Thank you ever so much!!!

We were heading out for the last check of the day.
Which took a wee bit longer than normal, because of a plugged headgate,
So coming back was much later
But still stunningly beautiful–moon, clouds, and fox!

I opened an email with this:
“Feel free to post it if you think it is worth it. Just taken last week. On the farm my grandfather owned.”
Gosh, a full rainbow!
I am super blessed!
Thank you so much,

I found a very cold Swallowtail Butterfly! It was lying in the shadows of two pieces of firewood, not moving, not even interested in moving.
So I gently picked it up. Brought it into the house and let it warm up a bit. When the wings spread out (and before it flew)
I took it outside and placed it in with my pansies.
It rested for a spell. Really warmed up. Then lifted up and was gone.
WHAT A HUGE TREAT for ME!!!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The farm sounds delicious —birds singing in the bush, on the fence post, and in the trees
Life is totally dazzling! The colors of the earth, the brilliant glittering of the sky—SPRING!
Nothing quite like Spring after way too much winter.
Even the night —full of stars and planets, and of course
That stunning silver moon.
