About Dayphoto

My name is Linda Brown. I live on a farm on the western slope of Colorado, in the high mountain desert. I’ve lived here all my life, hailing back four generations on my father’s side. Today I blog about our farm, the everyday activities that keep the farm going. I also write about my thoughts and dreams and goals. On Friday’s I always write about TLC Cai-Cai. Our sweet kitty who helps keep the farm safe. And Boo Berry Betty, a breeder dog learning to be a Farm Dog! The lovely thing about blogging it opens the world up for all of us to reach out and meet people from many different cultures and different ways of life. You can find me every day (but Saturday) at https://coloradofarmlife.wordpress.com/ Your Friend on a Western Colorado Farm, Linda Brown

To My Sister By Choice — Happy Day of Earthly Birthday, Wednesday, February 1, 2023

I miss you, My Dixie, my sister of choice.   We have been together since the day we were born.

I first, then in two weeks your birth

A part of me is there with you, wherever you are now.  Just like we were in our earthly life.

But—- sometimes—sometimes I feel you with me.

There in the rush of the wind through the leaves

A faint smell of Iris in the air

Sometimes I hear you laugh, giggle, sounds of joy so pure and delighted I want to reach out and take your hand—once more.

 

You were Springtime and Autumn–rolled all into one— all the best of feelings

All dolled up into a cute package of laughter and determination.

You are a precious soul!

Love you, Dixie, always,

From my heart to your world

Linda

 

My Wants are Very Simple —- Tuesday, January 31, 2023

Standing outside watching the Canada Geese flying and calling over-head

Adds radiance to my day.

A forever Thank you in my heart!

The Lovely Day Ebbed Softly into the Night, Monday January 30, 2023

Softly, silently,

Compressing the day into a magical

evening of tranquility

From my heart to your world.

The Moon, a Planet, and the Houses Across the Way, Sunday, January 29, 2023

So far, so distant so perfectly a part of our lives.

From my world to your heart,

A Little Bit of Winter— Wednesday, January 25, 2023

Winter all around us

Still—the sky drooping deep into the mountains

It looks like a good water year—so far.  (Holding breath)

Your friend on western Colorado farm,

Linda

A Week Ago Last Tuesday —Tuesday, January, 24, 2023

The rains started…then the air became very cold and full of malice, after which

Gradually the snow drifted languidly down, leaving clean white everything.

Until the firebox needed me.

Then there were tracks of fur kids and myself in the snow.

Your friend still caught in the shrewd grip of January.

A Rainbow Gift from the Ocean (and Our Kids :) ), Monday, January 23, 2023

Cliff and Kimberly left an ocean cruise where they came across

A most unique and rare gift fro the water and sky

A marvelous rainbow

They sent it to me for my birthday!

How very blessed I am!

Thank you, Kids, (with the Myers)  what a great present this was!

From my world to your heart,

Linda
