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

I think I am improving.

I really can’t tell. Feel better: do a little something. Then collapse, sleep —then start back over feeling a little better.

Still, I have hope. This is gone for a long time and I’m tired of feeling poorly.

Mom’s still sick.

She has new medication. Maybe it will work.

Dad has to do EVERYTHING!!!

Get Well Soon, Mom!

(P.S. to catch everyone up—I’ve been fighting pneumonia now for 10 days. They thought about entering me into the hospital, but I voted for staying in my own house.

It’s been very hard to function. Although, I do have some new (four different drugs) now that have a least given my back my voice—kinda, sorta, not really. I take them for five days (four more to go) if, at that time, no results I suppose I have to do the hospital route.

Thanks for still hanging in there. It’s hard to do too much at one time, but I do think of you and hope you are all staying healthy)

Cold, wet, and rainy. The sundog was right.

I have to take a break as I am also sick. I don’t have COVID, although I thought so until I got the test.

I will return when I feel better.

Sorry.

Stay well, everyone!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty on Friday—-Big Exciting Day, Friday, October 21, 2022

I GOT TO GO!!!

Mom and Dad and Shannon and

Black Beauty and

Kia and

ME!! ME! MYSELF! And I!!!

We all got to go check fences and build fences.

It was wonderful!

WONDERFUL!

Mom said she had to watch me carefully because I am so little.

I don’t get why; I just did what the big girls did!

There was so much stuff to learn about—Kia found something really exciting in the corn field—she barked and barked and barked at it.

I didn’t go with her, I stayed with Black Beauty.

Then Black Beauty found us something yummy to eat. HUMMMM

Shannon yelled at her and took it away. When she took the yummy from Black Beauty, she took my morsel away from me.

“We don’t need you throwing up later,” Shannon explained.

We moved through Rabbit Brush, Chico’s,

cattails, up rocky hills, across grasses pastures— it was wonderful.

JUST WONDERFUL!

TRA LA LA LA LA!!!

Boo Berry Betty

(P.S. Some photos are from the archives, I wasn’t very good at taking lots of photos when there was so much to do. Sorry! But it does give you an idea of everything we did. 🙂 )

There is a moment (a short period of time)

As the sun rapidly sets

And the shadows gather together, growing long and deep

For a short, short spell

The light changes into the most lovely of colors— lavender

Then it is gone in the blink of an eye, in one beat of the heart, but for just a moment it’s there.

For all to experience and enjoy.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Shannon and her rehabilitated Mule, LaVerne. LaVerne was treated extremely poorly throughout her life. But Shannon has taught her people can be kind (it took a full year) and that Shannon IS kind. Today she rides and packs and loves on Shannon.
