I’ve been seeing tiny hoof prints in our yard, so I set up a game camera
Thankfully, I have nothing growing that they enjoy eating 🙂
Every so darling.
I’m sure there are adults out there on the farm somewhere.

Our youngest daughter was driving to work in Montrose; the day was dark, stormy, very cloudy, and THEN — the sun broke forth, blessing those who looked!
Life up thine eyes—- WOW!

Sigh!
My summer-blooming flowers have all frozen.
24 °F (-4.4 c) and pretty much the same for Saturday night.
I guess we just clean the mess up and see what makes it through.

Mellow-Yellow Mr. Hobbs, now known as Hobbie forever and ever!
We got together with some friends and headed off for a wee cruise.
It was loads of fun, we all ate out, laughed, talked, just enjoyed ourselves.
All work and no play makes for a dull life. So we decided to PLAY for one day!

We need more syphon tubes, so guess what we are doing in our spare time.
Although PVC is a dream to use as siphon tubes, it also sundamages and turns brittle over time, breaking and splitting.
The last time we made tubeshttps://coloradofarmlife.com/2021/06/23/we-finally-finished-up-one-job-wednesday-june-23-2021/ and again https://coloradofarmlife.com/2015/06/04/moving-forward-thursday-june-4-2015/

You silly girl, LaVerne, you are going to get to go to the Uncompahgre. Just slow down, load up, and you will have a great time.
🙂 She is a trip.
Once she gets over her mule fit, she calms right down and loads right up.
No matter what, we love her. No one ever yells at her or tries to beat her. Those days were with whomever she had before.
Nope, life is good for LaVerne. She just has to test the waters now and then.

We drove clear to the top—
The snow-pack is pretty slim.
Nothing like it should be this time of year.
The melt is happening F.A.S.T
With the willows and the aspens starting to wake up. Everything is about three weeks early.
This water situation is really fraught with concern this year.
Scary, even.

The early lilacs are blooming! (They made it through all the freezes)
All the Lilacs in our yard were here when we purchased the farm, planted by Terry’s Grandmother and Grandpa
This is a mid-season Lilac; just starting to bloom!
And last but not least, the late-season lilac is in bud, just waiting for the perfect warmth to signal bursting forth!
They are so pretty! It isn’t often we get all three blooming, but this year seems to be a huge shout of Lilac-time!

I’m adjusting.
Sorta.
Mom is still MY Mom. Although she does seem to love and pet on that other cat.
She still picks me up, kisses me all over my face, brushes my fur, and has me sleep RIGHT BY HER!!! (And Boo Berry)
Dad seems to be Hobbs’ (Hobbie Hobbs is what Mom calls him) favorite. Hobbs sleeps right next to Dad.
Sometimes Hobbs and I rub noses.
I guess we are adjusting.
