Yellow and Golden Leaves Plus a Blue, Blue Sky — Thursday, November 12, 2026

Terry and I are working on cleaning up the (now) down limb.  Load after load of wood.

It is a big limb.  But we are making headway.

While on my way back from stacking a load, I noticed the beauty of the Cottonwood next to the very old grain bin.  What a Gift!

Happy Day to you, My Beautiful Friends.  Be kind to yourself today—remember there are those of us who love you for YOU.  Let your light shine for everyone to see.  That is the gift you give yourself, and you give back to us.

The golden yellow gift of you!

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Hanging There —- Dazzling in the Sunlight —- Wednesday, November 11, 2026

I was out picking up bark and little sticks from the now-taken-down tree when I saw how pretty the sun was shining through the willow leaves.

Hanging there- just like a beautiful veil.

May your day be wonderful!  And if something doesn’t turn out like you thought/hoped/wished it would, just remember it has happened in a much better way than you could ever imagine.

Look for the Good — so you can be given more, my most wonderful Friends!

Now— Back to the Tree Limb — Tuesday, November 10, 2026

After much thought — taking in our ages and such

We called in help

They came in around 10:00 in the morning

Helped pick up all the branches

Put them in a big pile

Which Terry and I can clean up (on the ground is much better than over the head)

He even pushed the stump back into the hole so rain and snow won’t rot the rest of this beautiful ancient tree. (We figure it’s around 124 years old.)

Done.  40 minutes, it is down and ready for Terry and me to take over.

Of course, we aren’t going to kill ourselves.  A little every day, until it’s made into firewood.

YAY!

Wishing for you, My Delightful Friends,  a beautiful day filled with simple joys, bright moments….and a very happy heart!

Linda

 

Fall is Lingering —- Monday, November 9, 2026

And I’m not complaining.

May many wonderful blessings find you today, My Dear Friends.

Golly How Time has Flown — Sunday, November 8, 2026

Image

Once upon a time in a land of music and wonders, lived a little girl with Pink Hair.

Then time flew by… faster and faster, until it was nothing but a blur

Until we come to now.

Gosh, time has gone quickly.

This is Bryce and Linkin.  Bryce is in the Army and Linkin in the Air Force.  Same base.

We get to see them come Christmas!

YAY!

Look for the beauty in your life today—I’m wishing you the very best to find!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty, TLC Cai-Cai, and Mr. Hobbs on Friday—Snow! In Them There Hills, Friday, November 6, 2026

It snowed in the mountains! (San Juans)

All Around Us! (Grand Mesa)

The cats still like to go outside, but 50* is just too cold for me. (Paonia Mountain Range)

I’m a hot houseplant. (San Juans)

Always have been.

(Not here Yet, but Mom thinks our winter just might look like this!  YIKES!!!!)

Always will be.

Don’t let Mom tell you different!  (Please)

As That Golden Sun Left the Sky —- Thursday, November 5, 2026

We are much cooler now — as the weather God(s) foretold.  But the sun, oh, that sun as it shimmered and glowed in the western Sky!

The light flamed and gleamed, setting my little herb/flower garden on fire!

Gratefully, the Black Walnut still has its leaves.  Once we warm up more in the daytime, the leaves will fall off all at once.  Such an unusual experience and a delight to behold.

I hope each one of you is blessed this day with big needed blessings and lots of those small blessings that color our soul with joy!

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

That Golden Sunshine — O! How! I! Love! Thee! —-Wednesday, November 4, 2026

Between the rainy storm clouds, the clouds allowed the morning sun to brighten our world.

Light pierced through the grey air and gifted a line of gold for our eyes to feast upon.

May joy find you today, my friend!   Making you feel extraordinary and beautiful!

Saturday Morning as the Clouds Came In, —- Tuesday, November 3, 2026

Terry and I saw a sundog.  It was faint but still there.  (In three days, our weather will cool down much further.)

Wishing the very best for you this November morning!!

O! Deer! — Monday, November 2, 2026

Sometimes I like to put out the game camera to ‘see’ what is happening

Looks like the twins are growing well 🙂

Listening to the small noises in our yard 🙂

Heading on to something more intersting

Oh!  Mom is with them!

AND DAD!!!

We had the whole family in my flower garden!!  (I don’t plant anything deer like to eat — YAY!)

And no, we don’t feed the deer or the raccoons; there are lots of things to eat on the farm without my help.  🙂

Wishing the very best for each of you, my friends!
