Constance Practice—Wednesday, May 3, 2017

The planting of corn started today.

The last couple of days have been wet and cold, but planting still occurs.  Terry planted some on Monday, then after a day off to celebrate; the seed is still going into the ground. 🙂

The day is beautiful!  Although, this spring has been chilly, I do believe we are having a real spring.  But warm weather is here today so I’m working outside!!!

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda

 

 

The Earth Turns and the Wind Breathes —-Tuesday, May 2, 2017

And the the rising sun brings life

Seventy three years ago today…his Dad always said he came at the perfect hour, the endless waiting, the forever labor

That very accommodating first born son—allowed his Dad to get back home to the Dairy in time to milk.  🙂

This man who has lodged himself in my heart, and in the hearts of his children and grandchildren

 

He has that gift of self—for always doing what must be done

For 73 years he has lived on this mesa, first with his parents on their farm and dairy, then here on our farm.

Watching the heavens, in contact with the soil, taking comfort in the growing plants and the harvest

The stream of endless chores, tiny little jobs that keep the farm and everything on the farm moving forward.

Lucky me.

Happy Birthday, Terry!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Broken—Monday, May 1, 2017

Today I am having computer troubles.  Sigh!

It seems my modem is finished…dead…done.

So I must be off to get one today…I’m rather addicted to my blog and to visiting with all of you.

I hope to get this fixed very soon.

Love,

Linda
