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

Red-winged Blackbirds Singing in the Cottonwood Trees

I love how they stopped by for a last little song

Singing a song for all of us

OH!  Is that a rainbow?

Not a rainbow, but a

But an extremely bright Sundog!  Stunningly beautiful, shining brightly there in the sky.

A sign of cold(er) weather to descend upon us.

Gosh, I think that is the brightest sundog I, personally, have ever seen!

Corn Report!!!! —-Sunday, October 12, 2025

The corn is drying down nicely now.  The stalks have lost most of their green, and the ears are hanging down.

Maybe sometime before Thanksgiving, we will be harvesting corn.  It just depends.

The moisture content must be at the level that Foster Farms will accept.  When we hit that—we are good to go!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-MY TURN!!! TLC , Friday, October 10, 2025 Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven

Did you see that Blog Post about those silly pink cowboy hats!?!?!?

Stupid, if you ask me!

Just plain dumb.

Who wants to wear a cowboy hat?  And a pink, sparkly hat on top of that!?

How could I even walk about in PINK!  Or Sparkles? Or a HAT!!!

Mom is not very bright.  I don’t care if I look cute and even more handsome.

There is not a single way I could sneak up on a squirrel nest, or pounce on grasshoppers/lizards/snakes with a HAT on!  The idiot thing would fall right off and scare everyone, me included!

“I don’t understand, TLC”, Boo Berry looked at me with that dumb hat on, puzzlement in her eyes, “I feel rather dashing.”

Actually, more than dashing—I feel downright UPTOWN.

Why, if Mom would take me to town, I’m sure the whole wide world would LOVE seeing me in my hat and sunglasses.

Pink on pink on SPARKLE!!”

See, I told you—she is easily pleased, that dog.

Sigh!

MORE!!! YAY! MORE!! — Thursday, October 9, 2025

We were in Delta when I looked up and THERE was a RAINBOW!!

YAY!  RAINBOW!!!

Cloud Shadows — Tuesday, October 7, 2025

Cloud shadows, or the lack thereof.

And the sunlight pierces through them.

Oh, how I love our skies!

We’ve Been Hauling Metal to the Buyer — Monday, October 6, 2025

I like the fact we are cleaning up some of the ‘piles’ we have around here.  It’s a big sort.

What to save, what might be needed and just plain junk.

Once the pickup is full off we go

This is the crusher, compactor.  Amazing HUGE machine

These guys helped us unload

This guy runs the crusher/compactor.  He said he loves his job.

I think that is neat.  Everyone should love what they do all day long!
