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

Everything was Instantly Transformed —- Tuesday, June 25, 2024

A big, big storm blew in—see it over there in the corner

When it arrived it dumped life-giving water on us—bunches of it—buckets of it–masses amounts of it…forming a lake in the yard and on our roads.

The magic of amazing moisture……..life transforming RAIN!

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

I Looked Out Our Window and What Did I See? — Monday, June 24, 2024

A gift to the soul!  Not just the human soul, but everything on the face of the earth, minerals, vegetables, animals, and the Earth herself!

I Love Summer — Sunday, June 23, 2024

I love summer, each and every HOT steaming moment within each day.

I love how the sunsets color the water

And I give Thanks for the ability to see the gift of the sun, the water, and the earth.

Ah!  Summer how I love you!

“I love how summer just wraps its arms around you like a warm blanket.”—Kellie Elmore

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Super Stressed, Friday, June 21, 2024

Boo Berry and I are super stressed, anymore

There are people, and BIG TRUCKS, and people, and sometimes dogs in the yard all the time

It’s a tad nerve-racking

So I’ve decided to pull my hair out in huge mouth-fulls

Boo Berry tells me it will be okay soon, I just have to wait a bit.

Mom tells me to go into the house and hang out— she says that is the best for me.

She also got me some calming collars.

We both hope they work.

TLC

 

Beauty — Thursday, June 20, 2024

Look closely at the hawk…she has nesting material in her beak!! 🙂

While on a almost night, but not totally dark we saw a porcupine hurrying from the ditchbank—(to get a drink of water) back to his home.

Beauty–it is everywhere!

“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.”–Coco Chanel, fashion designer.

I would add—Beauty begins the moment you start looking for it!

That Amazing Lovely Golden Hour — Wednesday, June 19, 2024

No matter where a person is…that golden hour of the day is so very special!

Linda

Grass! —- Tuesday, June 18, 2024

The grass was ready to cut.  The heads all bloomed out and just started to turn into seeds

Perfect!

Now we wait for it to dry, then we bale, and off it goes to fill tummies!

The Language of God(s) — Monday, June 17, 2024

While changing water I looked up into the sky and saw–

A whole rainbow without feet touching the earth anywhere!

A bridge! From God(s)–Hope is eternal!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

I Had the Most Unique Experience—-Sunday, June 16, 2024

I was out taking photos when I saw a sunbeam/ray hitting the earth right before me

Yes, I was looking through my camera lens — but still…..

It was amazingly cool.  Nothing I had ever seen before, and probably won’t ever be in the right position again!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

 

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-What is Happening Here, Friday, June 14, 2024

There have been LOTS of goings on here

I mean LOTS!!!

Yep!  Every day!

Not the same people (well, sometimes they make two trips)

They are after the same stuff

 

Mom says this all good!  I should remember this from last year.

I remember.  It just —

It just cuts down on my mousing!!

So I go inside when Boo Berry barks the big trucks and trailers down the road.

Besides it’s hot out there!
