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

Mullberries!

Posted on June 26, 2008 by Dayphoto

Right in the middle of my cherry trees I came across a wild mulberry tree, with little berries starting to ripen. I can’t think of mulberries without thinking of my Dad’s mother, Francis (Shipley) Doyle Holder. (My grandfather died and she remarried a Holder).

Every summer the wonderful, old, large mulberry tree in her yard filled with delicious ripe fruit I loved to pick and eat. There were so many berries that even the birds got full, and so did the lawn. Still mulberries and Grandma go hand-in-hand for me. And now I have a mulberry tree!

I wonder if Grandma sent me my very own tree from heaven.

The Cherries are Getting Ripe

The ‘pie’ cherries (or sour cherries) are getting ripe. It will be a race now between the birds and me to see who gets to have the most cherries.

I’ve Decided to be Green

I’ve decided to do my part in the “Green” movement and not use the clothes dryer. Hummmm, clothes dried outside smell fresh, sparkle in the sunlight and are scratchy!

Flowers on the Place

Sweet Woodruff grows wild around the base of one of the trees in our yard, and these lovely little wild flowers are blooming madly on the hillsides.

Wonderful!

Checkers Came to Visit

When Terry rode through the kid’s yard to change the water, Checkers decided to ‘go with him’ and then come on up to visit Fuzzy and me.

Thank Heavens Terry knows how to fix just about everything!

If it isn’t one thing, then it is Another!

This hasn’t happened in Years! We have water in the basement! Not just a small amount, but about a foot.

This happens if the neighbor waters his corn at the same time Terry has water in the field in front of the house.

What a mess, but it does dry out.

Our Corn is Growing–

Will it be knee high by the 4^th of July?

Fishing in Georgia

Posted on June 24, 2008 by Dayphoto

Evan (our son) and the boys spent the day fishing at the campground in Cordele, Georgia. Evan’s work is in Cordele, but his home in about 70 or so miles away. The kids bought a fifth-wheel camper so Evan can stay there during his work week. Sometimes on his time off, everyone drives to the camper for food, fishing, and fun.

If you will notice this was taken in March. How nice, we were still having wind and snow.
