Not as dramatic, but I liked it anyway. 🙂
My wish is for each of you to have Joy throughout the day!

A massive (for me) Sundog filled the sky with color. Soon, colder weather is coming our way.
I imagine the bugs are aware and starting to prepare. The plants are getting a more drawn-in look to them also.
WINTER is coming…
I’m wishing you the very best for this day! May many blessings surprise you!

On Tuesday of last week, the sun was shining and the day was warm.
So off we went with a group of car enthusiasts to a Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch.
It was fun! They had a fire pit for us and marshmallows to roast.
We bought jams and jellies and some pumpkins. Had a great time!
May every good thing happen to you today that you have been wishing for!

It started raining. And Raining and Raining.
Steady. No wind. Just rain and more rain.
It’s so wet now, even the underground pockets have filled (YAY)!
But the problem with this is there is no place for the rain to go!
2 inches of Rain! STUNNING!
What an odd year. 100* weather starting in June. Now we’re having rain for days upon end. Yes, there are a few sunny days in between.
I do believe everyone’s prayers are being answered!
They say the rain melted all the snow in the mountains. Still, that is good. It makes the ground wet, ready to hold onto the snow.
I hope that every blessing you are hoping for, and even those you didn’t know you needed, arrive for you today, My Friends!

We’ve got in all the farm stuff that needed to be put away for the winter
I helped Mom bring in loads of firewood
And to feed our beautiful Black Cat, Black Satin
Then Mom mowed the lawn; once done with that, she told me we wait now until it’s time to get rid of the leaves
I showed Mom a heart in the leaves!!!
Guess what — She said that was WONDERFUL!
I did check out the news while helping.
The deer still come into the yard — about 6 of them, I think
We have lots and lots of raccoons…about 8 of them
No wild cats — TLC and Hobbie won’t let them come into the farmyard.
The skunks have gone to the Upper End.
Yep…I’ve been helping!

Here is a tiny secret….but a very important one.
Our God(s) never speak to us — if we do not take the time to listen.
Find the quiet in your life and feed on that gift.
The answers will strike your heart, mind, and soul with the joy of God-given awe!
I hope today hands you many wonderful blessings, My Friends.

Our weather will turn for good, come Halloween.
Right now we are drying out. We had so much rain that moss started to grow in different places on the farm.
The bugs are still extremely active. Trying to capture every little bit of sunshine and (food) to keep them through the coming winter.
But for now, before the complete turn of the weather. Everything is pretty, pretty, pretty.
May every blessing you are needing and even some you are not aware of needing, find you today, My Good Friends!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
This is the make-up wake-up morning of the little birds in the big rosebush
They are talking about starting the day. How the night was. Did you listen to the news?
Coffee time! BREAKFAST!!!!
You know. Just like people do.
10:00 a.m. Everyone has gone to work. No one left. No one even flying back to check on the toaster.
Gone!
As the sun goes down. Everyone is home from the day. Chattering and visiting about all the things seen and accomplished.
Just like people do. Just like people!
May every blessing you are looking for find you today!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The ground was dry (enough) sorta/kinda/not really
Terry decieded we had better get out there while we can and put the farm to bed: pick up all the siphon tubes, the dams, close off the pipes and in general get everything ready for when the cows can come in.
(That won’t be for a while yet, maybe in November — late. But if the weather continues to be wet, YAY, we need to get done whatever we can.
Here is Wishing you every blessing there is, Dear Friends.
