And you and your husband are bored….
A chicken pot pie helps! (Plus company to share it with)

The Smallest Things Take Up the Most Room—-Tuesday, January 24, 2017
“Sometimes,” said Pooh, “the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”–A.A. Milne
Because of terrible weather and bad driving conditions, we have not been able to attend many of our grandson’s basketball games.
But yesterday (bad weather and all) we looked at each other and said: “Let’s Go!” So off we went to Carbondale, Colorado, where the Parachute Cardinals (we are the Cardinals) took on the Rams for a very exciting over-time, buzzer ending basketball game.
As Pooh says: “the smallest things do take up the most room in our hearts!”
From our world to your heart!

That Lovely Wild Shifting Light—Monday, January 23, 2017
Although we have storms, and melt, and wind, and rain….the outside work still goes on.
The transient cool morning air, bright as crystal’s some mornings
Frigid, shadowed and mysterious at night
The rain streaming through thick and gray clouds changes the earth from white to deep dark brown.
Then the glow of chilly blue skies filled our minds with sunshine
Until a breeze, more like wind,
comes up and whirls the falling snow into a twirling madness
Then the light is gray and secretive. Filling our world with silence.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Enter the Sun —- Sunday, January 22, 2017
After a brief dusting of snow
We melted! Adding too the already mud and slop.
Then the rains came! Popping up bubbles in the huge puddles. Fun little bubbles, as if the earth was adding some humor into all the moisture.
Then this morning we woke up to fleeing clouds
And sunlight over the land
As I write this the sky is clear, the sun bright, and there is beauty all around!
From my world to your heart!

The Adventures of Boomer on Friday—-So Mom Says to Me
So Mom says to me—“Guess what, Boomie-Boo? The sun is shining and it is kinda warm outside….lets go for a four-wheeler ride!
With that Mom, Dad, and myself ran out the back door, hopped onto the four-wheelers. (Well, I didn’t hop, Mom won’t let me because of my very weak knee). We took off for the Upper End, the Back Forty, No Man’s Land, even ran up on the Rocky Point where we saw a coyote heading down from Coyote Hill and racing through No Man’s Land onto the our neighbor’s pasture and through all the grazing cows.
The cows stopped and watch the coyote, took up the “you come to near and I will charge you” stance…but the coyote ran on. Dad said we must have scared the ‘daylights’ out of the coyote for it to take off like it did.
Mom and I watched and watched until the coyote turn around a hill and was gone.
Then Dad went down and check out a one of the fence lines while Mom and I rode on top of the hill checking another fence line.
Then we all met up where Romeo hangs out, talked to him for a spell and headed back home.
It was a great time riding in the sunshine!

Thank you, Meadowlark!

Dancing in Shadows—-Wednesday, January 18, 2017
We had sun for awhile yesterday! And the temperature rose enough to dry up some of the mud.
The heavy clouds cleared and the moon unfurled itself over the farm— lighting Boomer’s and my path with silent silver mysterious and wild moonbeams. Like the flutter of an angel’s wing.
Today the sun rose in an almost clear sky!
The late setting moon drifted fast toward the west making the moonlight pulse rather than flicker, in the soft yellow sunbeams, which fell all around the sun-starved earth. Giving the air, the sleeping trees and plants and the drying earth a glow even an angel would enjoy.
So off I am to work in the woodpile—there are logs which need splitting, kenneling to split and gather, plus a few other tasks I couldn’t do because of the mud. Terry is working on getting the snowmachines ready to take to mountains.
As for Boomer…he can look for news!
From my world to your heart!

Our Weather Report—-Tuesday, January 17, 2017
We went from this
To this and have stayed at this for weeks now. Rain and rain and even more rain.
Sigh! The days are long and grey and boring and ever so nasty.
Still it seems like there is always something that needs to be done.
I’m looking forward to walking with Boomer in the SUNSHINE! Where we throw shadows on the ground and our feet don’t collect mud!
But not yet! Not today. Not for awhile. Another big storm system is heading in here in a day or so, until then just know that I am
Dreaming of those hot summer nights some place in the future!

That Incredible Wonderful Moon—Sunday, January 15, 2017
In a rather desperate search for a full moon photo—I kept waking-up off and on throughout two nights searching for a time the moon was not covered in clouds.
Waiting (but not very patiently) hoping for that single wonderful photo.
Gradually the clouds parted, the stars singing loudly in the long, long night
Moonbeams shattered the mist fill land and melted into a cold silver and blue light.
While Boomer checked things — I stood in the shadow moonbeams and ghostly clouds.
From my world to your heart!
Linda
