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 Show of Brugmansia also Called Angel’s Trumpet

The eight- to 12-inch-long flowers, which dangle from their branch-ends, come in a broad spectrum of colors from white to red. They tend to deepen in color as they age, so that in many cultivars several shades are displayed on the plant simultaneously. The blossoms open at night and most release a fragrance that is described as jasmine like with an undertone of lemon. They are just lovely!

The Rod-Weeder

This special rod goes under the row of beans, lifts them up so they  are light and fluffy, pulls any weeds left in the ground, so the weeds can dry along with the beans.
