Mr. and Mrs., No Kids — Wednesday, August 27, 2025
This is Mr. and Mrs Pheasant. I’ve only seen one batch of chicks. I hope there have been more.
We do have a family of foxes up here. A passel of skunks—and of course, masses of Raccoons. Not to fail to mention the coyotes.

I Said a Prayer of Thanks —- Sunday, August 24, 2025
We have finally entered the last week of August!
Whew!
I am so grateful!
I never, ever, thought I would say that the heat (we hit 104* lately) would get to me.
But it did! I need a cool down. Of which, I’m sure
Everyone and everything else does too.
Next week, September!!! YAY!

Gambel’s Quail —- Wednesday, August 20, 2025
We have a nice bunch of Quail, which live on the farm with us.
I love to hear their sweet little voices
And to watch their chicks grow up.
I’m so grateful they are staying safe from the predators
(Hop, skip, jump)
Who also live with us on our farm.

A Gift From Vermont Cemetery Preserve — Monday, August 18, 2025
I opened my email to THIS!!! —
“Hi Linda. Hope all is well.
Went for a walk this evening at the Vermont Cemetery Preserve this evening and was able to capture this:
The cemetery is inside that fence. It dates back to the 1840s and the first settlers to this area. It is surrounded now by indigenous grasslands and walking paths, further surrounded now by housing developments.
The story of this might be interesting to some:
The original settlers thought the soil must not be fertile, since there were few/no trees. Little did they realize they were walking on some of the most fertile black dirt in the world.
Lots of interesting history here, if one digs for it.”
WOW!!! A beautiful rainbow, a cemetery, and history!!! PERFECT!!!
Thank you so much. I loved getting this email!
