A Day at the Apartment Complex — Tuesday, October 20, 2026

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

To Bed to Bed Putting the Farm to Bed — Monday, October 19, 2026

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.

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda

Autumn Days of Warmth and Gentle (Cool) Breezes Has Returned, Sunday, October 18, 2026


Terry and I are waiting for the ground to start looking like this again.

It’s going to take a spell, we just had way too much rain.

But believe me, we are not complaining.

Because once the ground gets firm

we will be back working on this willow branch.

So, not yet!  Soon, maybe, but not for a spell.

YAY!

May you experience lots of big and small blessings today, My Friends,

Linda

 

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty, TLC Cai-Cai, and Mr. Hobbs on Friday—The World is Wet! Wet! Wet!, Friday, October 16, 2026

Our world is wet!

It’s been wet

For exactly

FOREVER!

Mom says don’t embellish, TLC.

But, really, it seems like it’s been raining forever! Right, Mom?

Because when you do decide to come in, it’s really nice, isn’t it?

Well, yes, I muttered.  I suppose so.

It’s Truly Fall Now —- Thursday, October 15, 2026

The Maximillion Sunflowers are a riot of color and sweet pollen for the honey bees

The light is different.  Moving toward the Winter Solstice —

where the massive heat of Summer-last is just a memory.

The leaves are starting to fall, but that almost perfect rainbow made my soul sing

We are still shifting wood from the dead limb to the wood pile.

And joy of joys of joy, I found another heart!!! Resting near a brick where a tire must have flung it.  Waiting patiently for me.  Holding its breath in excitement as I saw it.  🙂

Yes, Summer has faded into Autumn now.  With Snow appearing on the peaks.  YAY!

May blessings abound for each of you, My Dear Frieinds!  Each and every moment of today.

In a Wet World There in the Sky —– Wednesday, October 14, 2026

I happened to look at the Eastern Horizon — there, shimmering, was Half a Rainbow!

The clouds sifting by filled my eyes, but then I looked to the North/East and SAW!!! The other end!

The longer I looked, the glittering sunlight of the rainbow droplets started to form into

Into a perfect half rainbow!

An omen of blessings!  Straight from the sky!

May many good and wonderful things happen to and for you today, my delightful friends!

Linda

 

 

Back to the Fallen Limb — Tuesday, October 13, 2026

It’s been lots and lots

Of cleanup!

I mean lots.

We got the worst part that was hanging over the neighbor’s cornfield.

This is the base where the limb broke away from the main tree trunk

That one branch is holding everything up.  Although the fence and the stock trailer are a tad squashed

We got tired!  So have had to take a rather long break.  Mainly because the rains have come again. (We aren’t complaining.)

What is left is going to be messy (still) and hard, but a little bit at a time, is how we are approaching it.

May your day be filled with blessings!!

From our world to yours,

Linda

Needing a Break —- Monday, October 12, 2026

We decided to drive up and see how low Blue Mesa Reservoir is — this is where we get our irrigation water (and what helps fill Lake Powell —- therefore, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and California)

This is terribly sad.  It’s heartbreaking really.

They are saying we are in need of five years of really heavy, deep snows.  Terry says— yes, and five years of NOT using the water so it can actually fill up the reservoirs.

Gosh. It’s all so sad and scary.

Here are prayers for moisture.  Lots and lots of moisture.

For everyone and everything and all things.

From my world to your heart!  May Blessings Abound for all.

Linda

As the Earth Filled with Shadows — Sunday, October 11, 2026

I had to take myself outside and be within it!

A promise of winter skies.  I love the colors!  I love the soft smell of the earth and the brilliance of Autumn days.

Wishing you the very best!  May blessings abound for you today!

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
