The early spring flowers get to have a longer bloom time!
And the leaves on the trees keep their new spring green longer!
Even the sunrise seems super wonderful!
Still, I am a bit ready for settled weather —-not hot, over-the-top hot — just settled.

I’m ready for the weather to settle
Maybe now
Or at least soon!
Perferably SOON!

Sometimes, when out changing the water, I am stunned by the beauty of the earth and the sky
If one is very mindful you can feel the pulse of the earth starting to slow down
Then it gradually starts to speed up — as if the earth’s heartbeat is excited in anticipation of a wee bit of slumber.
The sky is stretching, yawning, turning in three circles,
A great big sigh, settling down into a comfy spot of rest — allowing the earth’s heartbeat to slow and then to sleep.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
I’ve been farming.
I am a farm dog, so I get to farm
Right now, we are putting together the gated pipe for the new Alfalfa field.
Dad says we won’t start watering until the weather warms up and settles.
But we do have to be ready for that point in time.
Mom says gated pipe can be such a job. Over winter, the pipe expands and contracts, causing it to come apart.
But still…..
Mom and Dad—Dad and Mom have it down to science on what to do.
I manage them.
I also like to sniff around and ‘do stuff’.

The new field of alfalfa is seeded and being marked out. Unless something changes, this is the last field we will work up and plant.
No corn this year. Only alflafa.
We are letting a huge portion of the farm sit idle since we have a giant water shortage.
It’s a tad concerning. Very.

It made it!!! The warmth in the following days has helped give it life again.
WHEW!
We were a tad concerned because the freeze killed almost all my summer-blooming lilies.

I’ve been seeing tiny hoof prints in our yard, so I set up a game camera
Thankfully, I have nothing growing that they enjoy eating 🙂
Ever so darling.
I’m sure there are adults out there on the farm somewhere.

Our youngest daughter was driving to work in Montrose; the day was dark, stormy, very cloudy, and THEN — the sun broke forth, blessing those who looked!
Life up thine eyes—- WOW!

Sigh!
My summer-blooming flowers have all frozen.
24 °F (-4.4 c) and pretty much the same for Saturday night.
I guess we just clean the mess up and see what makes it through.
