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

A Pile of Red Beans

Some, but not all, of these beans we will keep for our use and the kids’ use and Terry will give some away to a neighbor or two.

The rest is hauled to the beanery where really good prices are to be had this year.

 

 

Western Colorado Pinto Bean Harvest (Yummy Red Beans)

When I got home from work Terry was just going down the field for the second time. 

The combine picks up three rows at a time, just right for our needs. (watching in my contribution.  Sometimes I have to do something, but it is never anything ‘really big’.)  I know there are those out there with REALLY BIG heads, but this one works for Terry.

 

The bean straw left behind is the favorite food of the cows once we turn them into the field.

 

Tallin Rose McCormick

She is the first baby in our family to have copper colored hair.  (My Momma would have delighted in the color!)

Bladen and Tallin

Bladen is a very good big brother, he plays with Tallin a lot, and she loves it!

I Love Where We Live

Big sky’s, blue mountains, the sun, the moon, the rain, growing things….what more could a person ask for?

On Our Way to the Baths

Life is just so much fun, especially if you can take a daily bath, sometimes a bath or two, or maybe just a wallow in the dirt.

The River Has Run Dry

Just as the Rubidoux does every year, the river runs dry.  I am sure this is why the little log house started to fall is disrepair.  (See earlier post)

A Summer Afternoon Activity

Since Terry retired he finally has some leisure in his days.  Ahhhh, setting under the canopy playing a game, nice!

 

The Beans are Pulled

The beans are pulled and rowed, they will stay this way until all the leaves and weeds dry up.  The stems of the beans have to dry to a certain point before the combine can come in.
