An Invitation —-Wednesday, June 25, 2014

IMG_3528Long before the real work of the farm starts I head upstairs to my office, turn on my computer and sit down and publish my blog post of the day.  Once that is done I take a few moments to read and answer emails then I read blogs.

Like many of you I have many blogs I read, each of you reach out to  us in blog land offering up a tiny bit of your life (a sharing, if you please).

Often times we readers gather inspirations, new thoughts, insights and creative ways to do something in our own lives and on our own blogs.

The Kitchen Garden  Cecilia blogs daily at sunrise.  She is a beach raised New Zealand girl now married and living on a farm in Illinois.  She is the farmer determined to raise good clean food for her family and for other people in the area.

This is one very busy lady…not only is she the farmer, she creates items for purchase (such as calendars of her delightful pig, Shelia) plus a book (with help from her blog readers) soon to be release: Letters to my Sister.  On top of all this (as if she doesn’t have enough to do) she and her husband have opened up their home for nightly or weekly visits with all inclusive breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I was reading through her tabs—please do when you visit.  And I ran across her invitation to join her on the blog.  It was such a wonderful idea that I wrote her and asked if she would mind if I did something similar on my blog.  She was very gracious.

So here is my invitation to you-  I will post this in a tab as soon as post this for today.

I would love for you to join my blog.  To join this short, daily blog about a life on a farm in Western Colorado.  All you need to do is click the button on that says:  Sign Me UP!  That is all there is to it.  Once you do you will receive a notice in your email box the minute I upload a new post. I post every day, except on Saturday.

I post every morning, telling you about yesterday, or today.  I sometimes muse about things that interest me, or offer, for your consideration, a brief look at the history of where we live—Delta, Colorado.  Then when I stop for a break I read and answer the comments left for me.  For me this is a pleasure before I head back to daily chores — my conversations with you!

On Friday’s Fuzzy and Boomer, the two farm dogs, like to take over and blog about their adventures throughout the week.  You will find that these two dogs are really very friendly and do have a fun take on every day farm work.

If you would like to join Life on a Colorado Farm (whether you feel like you would want to comment or not) please scroll down a short way from the header photo and click the Sign Me Up! Button.  I would love to have you part of our daily life.

If you do sign up, or even if you have been signed-up for a very long time, it would be interesting (no pressure…ever in this world of blogging) to learn where you are from—state or country.   I have had the most delightful time getting to know my many commenters over the years.  I would like to get to know you also.

If you would like to join the Face Book page go here: FACEBOOK

If you would like to join me on Pinterest, where I post my favorite photos of the day please go here: PINTREST

I know there are many other social sites, but these two I’m most active on.

I thank you very much for joining me, my husband, the cats, and our two farm dogs, Fuzzy and Boomer, in our daily lives on a western Colorado farm in the high mountain desert.

Your friend on a farm in Delta, Colorado,

Linda

  1. Linda, how do you do it all!?!?!? I was impressed just by the time the blog takes out of your busy farm schedule. Now I find that you are also on Facebook and Pinterest! Wow! Well, you now have a new follower on those sites also. And tell Terry that we were so happy to be able to throw a couple of votes his way when the ballots arrived. I feel like I know him too via the blog. 🙂

  3. Could you tell me what kind of birds are on the hummer feeders…..they are beautiful but don’t look like meadowlarks which are my favorite. I love your blog cause it furthers my education and helps me in my little two acres of the world. You are a blessing and I know its lots of work to keep it current every day.

  7. I wake up to you every morning already! Wouldn’t miss it for the world – the photos give me a taste of life in Big Sky country on the other side of the world. Born and raised in the UK, emigrated to Australia 10 years ago, now living in Mackay, north Queensland, Australia in cattle and sugar cane country.

  9. Linda, I follow you through Feedly so I never miss a post. If I get way far behind (when we travel and I’m away from the Internet) then I read through the missed posts on Feedly and may not comment on every one, but I do eventually read them all. But this is why I don’t join blogs because if I did at those times the e-mails would overwhelm me. I will put you on FB, but I’m a very sporadic user of it. (And you already know where we’re from when we’re not in Alaska or traveling elsewhere.)
