While the hawk is hunting in another part of the farm
The bunnies (and I)
Enjoy a sweet little interlude
In the silence of
The equipment area.

FINISHED!!! Harvest Wrapped Up for 2021 — Sunday, December 5, 2021
We finished!
Before the weather changed
Without anything breaking down
Without too (TOO) long of waits in the long line to unload at the Elevator
Finished!
Last load!

The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-OWL!, Friday December 3, 2021
I was outside,
I LOVE OUTSIDE!
YES, I DO!!!
I was outside, looking for mice
So, I looked here
And I looked there
Then I headed into my garden
I looked
And
I SAW
POUNCE!!!
As I was starting to play with my food
(That is the best part)
Playing with my food
I heard
WHOOOOOOOOOOO HHHOOOOOOOOO
Looking up I saw
OWL!
When Mindy lived here, she said NEVER EVER Trust and OWL
I dropped what I was doing and ran to the house!
OWL! MOM! OWL!
MOM!
Good, Mom let me in.
SAFE!

Passing Over Head —- Thursday, December 2, 2021
Sunlight bouncing off the weeds
In silence
The hunt to find food
This is our hawk…he/she has the damaged tail feather. It must be damaged at the root for it’s always this way over all the years.
I leave before I hear the dull thud…of contact
So, that, I only enjoy the beauty.

Caught in a Wind Storm — Wednesday, December 1, 2021
We had a bit of a wind, the other day…a whipping you in the face wind
Not a gentle hum of rustling leaves wind
But a PICK everything UP and FLING it around party wind
A get dirt in your face, eyes, and ears — wind.
Sometimes winds are like that—over the top, flicking you with ‘stuff’.

As the Land Passes Toward Slumber — Tuesday, November 30, 2021
We give Thanks for the gifts that God(s) give to us
During this growing twilight time of year
For every season there is something to provide joy for each of us
Blessings of abundance
As the Autumn fades and we begin
our long ride into the dark of Winter.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Up There, All Swirly and Curly—Monday, November 29, 2021
There! Right there in the crisp air was a large swirly, twirly cloud
Magic so close. Almost touchable!
WOW!

The Magic of a Storm Arriving — Sunday, November 28, 2021
Under a thick black cloud
With chilly fingers of wind
Frosty clouds of rain and sleet dropped into the canyons
And across the Uncompahgre Plateau
The sun behind the clouds
Making everything glisten like an opal
The clouds like sparkling gems stones
Even unto the very end of the light of day.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Dad is Driving a Big Scary THING, Friday, November 26, 2021
I was just minding my business—
you know, checking out the farmyard
Looking for mice
Chasing a bird or 60
When Dad came out,
got into that big THING that makes lots of noise
And headed to my CORNFIELD
Everything is TERRIBLY SCARY right now!
RUN!!!!!
