Something moving there in the beautiful brightness of the morning sun
A Deer brushing by in the gentle breeze
Breathless, so swift it was almost invisible.

Walking on the Farm —- Sunday, May 24, 2026
Despite almost no water (we are locked down to only 9 to 10 tubes of water), the alfalfa is looking good.
Normally, we have about 40 tubes going. Not now. We just keep working at keeping everything wet. It is hard, but soooooo far, fingers crossed, we can do so.
There is a warm wind, the sky is stunning, and the alfalfa is green.
Home/farm solace, simplicity, and quiet.

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty, TLC Cai-Cai, and Mr. Hobbs on Friday—-Just Call Me Mellow Yellow, Friday, May 22, 2026
Just Call Me Mellow Yellow.
Mom keeps singing whenever she picks me up.
(I don’t like to be picked up)
Then Mom gives me a kiss RIGHT ON MY NOSE and sets me down
I don’t scratch her or bite her. Nope. But I do squirm
I still sleep right next to Dad at night. Dad is soooooo nice and warm.
I play with TLC. We even hunt together sometimes.
I have also told the wild cat, Black Satin, that Mom is good.
Black Satin is coming closer and closer to Mom. Then she runs away if Mom looks at her too long.
Boo Berry does NOT understand Play.
Not with me.
Not with toys.
Nothing.
But that’s okay.
Just call me Mellow Yellow, tee dum tee dum

Grad Party —- Thursday, May 21, 2026
The Grad Party was at our house
Misty decorated it in a fun way— balloons and photos
The only spoiler was all the wind—too much wind
But we all made it. Lots and lots and lots of food
Parker, Tallin’s boyfriend, was here. What a nice kid he is.
It turned out lovely.
(Boo Berry LOVED the smells coming from the tables 🙂 !)
The last grandkid’s last party of her school years.
The next stop is college in Montana, where she hopes to become a CPA.
From our world to your heart,

IT Turned of Cold Again —- Wednesday, May 20, 2026
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 — Tuesday, May 19, 2026
“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.”
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Time Has Wings—Monday, May 18, 202
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,
Linda
Shafts of Light — Sunday, May 17, 206
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.
From my world to your heart,

Mom put me in my little blue box.
Okay, Mom. Don’t forget my goggles!
Mom did something with something, and then she
