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

Baby Alfalfa

The tiny little seeds are growing and doing well!  By this time next year the plants will look like they have been growing there forever.

 

Great Saddness

I am so sad!  My last chicken was attacked and killed by another skunk! What a horrible ending to a really nice chicken!

We have sat traps and sent three skunks, so far, to skunk heaven, I hope that is all.

We have to get rid of these predators as the new babies are coming Friday!

Sadly Many People Just Don’t Respect the Environment!

Well, if you never get here, the following photos will let you see the great little canyon, called Fat Man’s Misery, about 5 miles from our farm.

With the Warm Sun and Cool Rain the Desert Blooms were Wonderful

Most of the cactus had pink or yellow flowers, but this one was a great red.

 

Resting in the Sun

Terry walked down Fat Man’s and onto Devil’s Kitchen with everyone, while Tallin and I stayed on top.  Our time was so peaceful that Tallin fell asleep.

Terry came back early and took over ‘resting on the rock’ so I could take some photos.

The Next Day We Went to Fat Man’s Misery

Fat Man’s Misery is a classic adventure just on BLM land. Getting to the canyon and escaping back to your car requires some walking – but the Misery isn’t too technically difficult.   The canyon ends in the beautiful Devil’s Kitchen full of wild life and lovely canyon flowers.

With the Hot Weather We Went to Robidoux and Played in the River

Fuzzy LOVES the water!  He likes for us to throw rocks into the water, and him to catch them.  Sometimes he looks like he is a drowned duck! 🙂  But it is lots of fun, for he and I.

 

Shannon’s Rotweiller’s enjoyed playing in the Robidoux River with us.
