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

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Mom Did This to Me, Friday, January 20, 2023

Because we sometimes have weather like this

Mom thought I had better have a coat

A COAT!!!?

What does a girl do with a COAT?

I showed Mom.

I just stood there and would NOT move.

Finally, Mom took it off so I could walk around.

(She isn’t going to trap ME in a coat!)

A Sweet Kiss Goodnight—Sleep Tight—All is Well, Thursday, January 19, 2023

45 minutes to Sunset—when the world has an amazing pink lucent glow—then fades into soft shades of gray—on into the dark of night.

(I love this time of day!  Just LOVE it!)

It’s like that goodnight kiss your Momma and Daddy gave you way back when you were a toddler.

A perfect ending to the day, with sweet dreams for the night.

From my world to your heart!

Linda

 

I Know It is a Tad Strange—Wednesday, January 18, 2023

One thing I truly enjoy doing is

Sorting, stacking and creating with firewood.

It is a satisfying feeling that not even a rough wind can knock over my stacks (and I have many stacks)

They are all composed according to size. Perfect for whatever I think I need in the firebox!

Such a bright, scintillating, [sparkling and shiny] feeling this gives me!

🙂

I know. It’s unusual, but it does make me feel good.

The Sounds of Chain Saws in the Air — Monday, January 16, 2023

Bruce came out early one morning to help us with that massive, huge pile of logs.

They worked all through the day, getting that pile down, down, down.

What a gift!

Thank you, Bruce!

From our world to your world,

Linda

The end has come!

Our farm is now cowless and they are enjoying lusher pastures!

Although it is Friday—The Fur Kids are Taking a Break, Instead We Get to See a Rainbow, Friday, January 13, 2023

Dear Linda,
We’ve had so much rain over the past months, here in Auckland New Zealand, but the sun shone yesterday at the end of the day and the rainbow rose out of the sodden land with ease and grace; a welcome surprise. It was so high and large that I could photograph only a portion of it.
 
I thought of you, and then when I came inside, your latest blog post arrived!
 
I love your blog and read them all, even though I don’t always comment.
 
Best wishes,
Juliet
Oh! Juliet!  What a perfect gift!  We have been having lots and lots of long grey days.  To see the green and the rainbow is so uplifting and perfect!

Thank you ever so much!

Opulent, Graceful, Dazzling —- Thursday, January 12, 2022

The far-distant Grand Mesa with

With manifested beauty shining along its flat-top pinnacle.  All due to the setting sun.

What magnificent gifts we are given…you and I.

From my world to your heart,

In the canal

Out of the canal.

All day long it goes…

Saturday We Sat Within a Frozen Cloud — Tuesday, January 10, 2023

Nothing but silence

Generously filling every nook and cranny

Freezing onto eyelashes and animal fur

A cloud sitting on top of us, in way below-freezing temperatures.

(It was lovely)

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda
