A smell like no other!
Lilacs nourish the soul as well as the heart!

We drove up to the Uncompahgre Plateau
To see the great changes of
Snow turning into Melt and then on to our river (The Gunnison River)
We drove to the top passing huge streams of imperial melted snow heading down, down down
Not only is the melt occurring fast, but the water is also
moving downhill in a huge HUGE rush
The snow is changing
and reverberating into a world of
mud!
And huge muddy ponds
Finally, we made it to the top
At the gravel pit lake, the earth was in a state of hushed concentration called MELT!
Everywhere one looked it was Winter turning to Spring.
Sorta like February turning into March
Patiently. Steadily. Snow into water.
Water into that life-giving force we all use.
Well, there you have it. The Roubioux and Cottonwood Rivers; sources of roaring water—- flowing into the Gunnison River. (Then on to the Colorado River)

Coming down our long, long lane I saw the faintest of rainbows!
Which made me think to myself—–
Always, always God(s) is (are) speaking to us—in the trees, on the land, in the silence of the sky
Sometimes, (just sometimes) we forget to see/hear—but when we do—
WHEN WE DO!!!
The dazzle the God(s) share with us
is so stunningly perfect in its very simplicity.
A perfectly perfect gift!
From my world to each of your hearts,
Linda

Hi Linda,
I’m a regular reader of your blog; it is a pleasure to read your positive and beautiful posts. I know you love rainbows, so I’m attaching a picture of a rainbow my husband and I saw while on a walk this morning on the Santa Fe trail in Monument, CO. I wish the picture would have shown the complete rainbow, but it was so big it didn’t fit.
It was a spectacular sight. Happy Mother’s Day to you!

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happySunshine in my eyes can make me cry
If I had a day that I could give youI’d give you a day just like todayIf I had a song that I could sing for youI’d sing a song to make you feel this way
Sunshine on the water looks so lovelySunshine almost always makes me high
If I had a tale that I could tell youI’d tell a tale sure to make you smileIf I had a wish that I could wish for youI’d make a wish for sunshine all the while
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happySunshine in my eyes can make me crySunshine on the water looks so lovely
(Bird shadow 🙂 )
Sunshine almost always makes me highSunshine almost all the time makes me highSunshine almost always makes me high.
From my world to your heart!

I’ve been workin’ on the farm,
All the live long day.
I’ve been workin’ on the farm
Just to make the farm pay
Can you hear the water calling?
Rise up early in the morn.
Can’t ya hear me shoutin’
Weeds have made me mourn!
I’ve been working on the farm,
Even when the rain comes down
I’ve been workin’ on the farm!
Singing, tee dum, tee, dum, dee!
(A modern-day nursey rhyme 🙂 )
From my world to your heart,
Linda
