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

What Do You Think This Is — Thursday, November 13, 2025

See that fat thing with wings?   What do you think it is?

Drone? Airplane? Fat Fly?

And THEN the WIND Came — Wednesday, November 12, 2025

Stirring up the dirt

Catching leaves in the air and swirling them everywhere

It can be a tad hard

Working in the wind

On an Autumn day.

What We’ve Been Doing — Sunday, November 9, 2025

Laying pipe!

With some very good help

Two down, two more to go on this ditch.  We have another HUGE ditch we are putting into pipe, but that will be a tad later.

It’s looking good.

So nice.

The help was pretty helpful, also.  🙂

The workload is shrinking!!! (Just not at the moment, but come spring—-

Are we going to be farming next spring?  Hummm, I wonder.)

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—- Everything is Frozen, November 7, 2025

The frost is heavy now.

Boy, do I like it!  No more heavy heat that makes me pant, and Boo pant.

Mom and Dad get hot, too.  Boo Berry chimed in.

Oh, well, I suppose so, but they don’t have fur!  I snapped.

HEY!  Boo Berry, I hollered—CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!

So off we went.

Playing hide and seek.

And catch me if you can!

TLC and

Boo Berry

 

Indian Summer — Thursday, November 6, 2025

There are heavy frosts now each morning — but the days warm up nicely. (Although the air moving by on the four-wheeler is a tad sharp.)

Terry has two huge projects he (we) are working on right now.  Here he is waiting for Boo Berry to catch up with us.  We are going up to the ditch we are putting into the pipe.

Getting the open ditches into pipes will make irrigation much easier — they won’t silt up or grow weeds.

Even though the time changed — farmers and ranchers still work by the sun.  When the sun is up, we work.

When it grows dark, we come in.

Doesn’t matter what the clock says.  🙂

Sometimes I Wonder — Wednesday, November 5, 2025

Sometimes I do wonder, at my age, what the next year, or two years, or even if there will be five years to wander here upon the earth.

Sometimes I feel a tad sad, because, after all, this is a marvelous, wondrous, exciting place to spend a lifetime

But I don’t wonder long, for I always seem to be gifted sparkles (glimmers), delights.

Yes, time may be bearing down on me — but my soul whispers….not yet.

And that is what I’m going with.

Not yet.

Checking Fences, Checking Them Twice — Tuesday, 4, 2025

We’ve entered the fence check season.  Also called fence repair. Hunting Season starts —birds, then deer on private property.  Hunters are notorious for breaking down fences and leaving gates open.

And I found a heart!!! 🙂

November’s Song — Monday, November 3, 2025

(You mostly hear the wind…but you get the idea I hope(

Drying down!!!  Singing a song in the wind.
