And no matter—- if one is sick or not. We have to keep warm! (And to be honest with you, I think a little physical activity is a good thing—it pushes a body to want to recover—of course, don’t ever overdo it.)

I love this time of day….just as the sky is starting to lighten—Just before the sunrises
It’s a soft sort of time—(or in the winter a very sharp and cold sort of time)
Then the sun is UP!!! And the world begins! 🙂
Such a joy!

May you all stay healthy and WELL!!!

Watch the sun (or the moon) sweeping delicately from east to west
Lower your eyes to the ground—looking, looking for those beautiful, wonderful kisses from the earth
Called Heart Rocks.
Finally, I feel well enough to take a wee walk about. Not a long one, but one that helps bring fresh air, peace, and sunshine to my soul and body.
So forth, enjoy the peace, the calmness, and the beauty outside can bring!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
She’s a jumper!!! GRRRR!
After we got her back in and strung another hot wire (with a piece of alfalfa tied onto it), she seems to behaving herself!

Finally! I am better! What a slog that was! YAY!

I have COVID! Will try to be back by Sunday. I hope!

We have live water on our place, which is a huge gift to the ranchers who winter their cows here.
But live water can also have wee problems: the cows walk in it and break down the sides in, or it freezes solid.
Terry goes out each day and checks the live water. Makes the rancher happy, the cows happy and us happy come spring. 🙂

Silence the Noisy thoughts in your mind. Step away from things that make you sad, or depressed. Or thoughts of anger or revenge.
Step outside, go for a walk or sit on a bench, or even your backstep. Sit and be still–gradually the gift of peace will fill your soul.
I promise.

I was driving home when I looked at the sky and saw this amazing Sundog (a sign of cold, cold weather to come)
I hurried down the long drive way, parked the car and went around the west side of the house
(Much clearer than through a dirty car windshield 🙂 ) I raised my face, eyes, and camera to the sky and gave thanks for the personal enjoyment I always feel is a gift to humankind.

We haven’t seen our shadows for a while…but they are back!
TLC and I like Shadows.
Mom likes shadows more than I do.
TLC doesn’t like his shadow to be seen, but he does like to see the hawk’s or the owl’s shadow because that means HIDE!
The days are cold and dry, but they do warm up a tad around noon to three,
so Mom, TLC, and I go for a walk,
and Mom looks for Shadows!
