The Veering wind sweep the smoke from the sky (it will be back, I’m sure)
I saw, in the muted and filtered light,—the moon and a star —probably a planet but I don’t know which one. 🙂
The light was soft and kind and beautiful.

A human-caused fire near Moab, Utah
Called the Pack Creek fire
Was caused by someone leaving (!!!!!!?????) a campfire unattended.
The smoke from Moab’s Pack Creek area filled the sky in a horrible, ugly, beautiful, sad way.
Unattended. So unnecessary. So sad.

Then, when things seem so over-the-top in the news.
I find a heart!
And I understand…the world hasn’t gone mad…only some of the people living On the earth are a tad over-the-top!
From my little spot at our farm, to your heart 🙂 .

“Well, this is a fine thing,” Mom said, getting out of the car with her hand in a massive pink thing. “I looks like I actually fractured my joint in my right hand, in the little finger.”
“Six weeks of PINK and metal on my hand” Mom explained as she bent down to pet me.
What is a six weeks, I wondered to myself; what is that heavy thing on Mom’s hand?
O………….purrrr………..turn over on my tummy……………..purrrr…keep petting Mom this feels good.
Mom scratches me under the chin. Then gets up. “Well, it’s going to slow down some things, but not going for walk with you, Mindy Lou Sue. Let me put my stuff down inside, then you and I can go for a walk. I think my mind NEEDS a walk.”
I jumped up on the lawn chair and waited.
Soon Mom was back outside—off we went.
Out to the chicken house
Over to the shed
Behind the woodpile
We took a small walk-about. I don’t get why Mom is worried, she can still pet me and do walkabouts. Life is still Good.

Last evening, as the day softened into the evening, I saw a Rip in the sky
Or possibly something ghostly–glistening in the sunlight and dancing along with the clouds
The tiny white speck is a jet going west
It stayed a long, long time, never changing until a cloud passed over it and I forgot to look again.
I wonder what it was. 🙂

There is just so much to see! The Dust twirling in the desert
Little songbirds making nests in security cameras 🙂
Being out on the shimmering ditch banks —yes I do enjoy irrigating
The sky….oh, yes I already told you that :)…
The world is full of color
I think that is what I love the most…COLOR!
Color everywhere (and warmth) and sun and well, just everything!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The world is happy in Summer
At least to my eyes
The beautiful clouds
Surrounding us
The soft caress of wind on our faces
The wonderful scents of burgeoning plants
The days of the over-harsh wind have subsided
The pivotal time of the day
Just as the sun comes up
Just as the sun goes down
The light spilling all around us.
It’s all so very peaceful.

The fields are no longer bare
The need for a coat no longer there
The light in the sky
Showcases color in all its forms.
The top comes off
The cold goes away.
Yay for Summer!

A little Robin Red-Breast busily gathered bits of weeds and such
Then he/she swooped down and grabbed a big fat bug, not far from where I sat
Later in the warming sunshine he/she gathered nesting material from the riches I seemed to just be ‘throwing away’
What a fun experience I had…sharing the morning with this busy little bird(s)!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Our Blade (that is what Mom called Bladen—Our Blade, so I do too.) came to visit.
He was just the perfect visitor for me
Always, always, always he let me play with his sock
And FOOT!
