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

Tooing

and

Froing

The corn harvest is over!

WE ARE DONE!!! 

Next is to get all the fences in shape, the gates shut, and the electric fencer turned on—for soon the cows will come!

Mom Told Me Once—Tuesday, November 29, 2022

Mom told me once,

“Growing old is hard

Because, if you are not careful

You can start to feel useless”.

“So, remember”, she admonished,

Stay busy.

“Move. Stay interested in life.  Which will help you live. At this point of your life, you can not waste time.”

I miss you, Momma and Daddy.

I miss you!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

 

 

HEY! HEY!!! Can We Get Out?!?!?! —- Monday November 28, 2022

Hey!  Grandpa!  Now that you are working on the corn—can we get out?

Glory Bee the ringleader of the equines!

Linda

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-WOW! Really WOW!, Friday November 25, 2022

The corn harvest has started!

Mom says, “We are on our way!”

I say: “SCARY BIG MACHINE!”

I can handle it when I am with Mom.  That is about all.

(Oh, By the way—

the cat hides in the house.  At least I’m with Mom!)

Wishing for Each of You and Wonderful Thanksgiving — Thursday, November 24, 2022

Tom Turkey.  He was such a pet. After much time he got too big for hanging around; he then went to live with a man who took him everywhere, while he did his lawn caring business.

Tom Turkey.  You were a hoot!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I Know I’ve Told You Before— Wednesday, November 23, 2022

Still, I want to tell and show you again

45 minutes before the sun sets

All the blemishes on the earth

And in the air

Change to Pink!

It’s so stunning and

And beautiful

I have to be outside in it!

No matter how cold it is. (or how cold it is going to get—Sundog)

I want to be outside in a rose-colored world!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

We Got a Marvelous Treat—Sunday, November 20, 2022

Our car club needed some special photos for the upcoming year of 2023

—100 years of

fun, exciting,

things in the City of Delta.

Well, Tom Howe,

has a 1923 Model T Ford,

he was gracious to say

(notice the missing letters—sigh)

we could take photos

of the cool car

for the 2023 Car Show

this coming summer. 

AND he would be willing

to have his car toured

around town

to feature special old and historic buildings on Main street.

There are three petals….

Lots of levers

And only three doors

The whole experience was

A huge blast!

People honked and waved at us

Drove next to us with big smiles

And thumbs up!

They graciously

Let us block the road

And stop traffic

While I got a large variety of photos!

What a huge!

Marvelous!

And delightful adventure!

Thank you so much, Mr. Howe!!  Your car is stunning!

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda
