There is a time, within each day, when time seems to stand still
That point when everything waits— for just that moment, that pure moment of breathlessness
When the sun breaks forth into a new day
The joy reverberating clear into our blood.
Then the minutes and hours of the day takes over —with lists of ‘things to do’ and ‘stuff to get done’ and the people ‘who need’
But, If we just stop and look we can have that moment of balance we all crave…
A pause—
Gradually time slows
And all those things that thronged our seconds, minutes and hours become still… For just a moment.
Balanced!
Then the night rises up to claim it’s fair share of time.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Life on a Colorado Farm 
Those are the seconds that carry us through the rest of the day.

Hi
Well the week is up since the alfalfa crop was harvested. You said
you needed 6 drying days……….. I have been checking the Delta weather
and I think “Huey” favoured you with NO Rain. Was this so?
Cheers

We had rain and hail, rain…and some sun. We got part of it in…hopefully we can get the last of it today.

No. I’m not sure of it’s name. I have lived here all my life and don’t know the names of the mesas…Devil’s Thumb is closer to North Delta.
