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

Look carefully for they are quick and hard to see!

I just LOVE this time of year!

HAWK!! Wednesday, May 8, 2024

“You must never judge who God forgives and who he does not”.: Bless Me, Ultima, by Rudolfo Anaya

Hide little birds (by the barrels) there is a hawk in the air!

Ah, Red-Tailed Hawk you are stunningly beautiful

It’s so hard to see you kill—but you also, must eat.

Who am I to judge, who am I?

From my world to your heart,

Linda

There are Times — Tuesday, May 7, 2024

Posted on May 7, 2024 by Dayphoto

I must admit

There are times when my thoughts

Are not as perky as they should be.

When a weight seems to weigh heavy

A nose-dive, to be sure.

But it never, ever fails…that when I’m in a funk…the earth gives to me a heart.

How can I stay in a dark place

When there are amazing gifts everywhere?

I am truly blessed! As you are too, all we have to do is look.

From my heart to your world,

Linda

Planting Corn! Monday, May 6, 2024

Posted on May 6, 2024 by Dayphoto

Terry has the corn planted. He took two hayfields out of production — they have grown old.

And planted corn!

Now, the only thing left to plant is our new alfalfa field. Soon! Real soon, but not just yet.

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda

Sometimes I Wish Time Would Stand Still—Sunday, May 5, 2024

There is nothing (to me) more lovely, than the heady, fragrance of Lilacs. They won’t last long, but as long as they do I am giving thanks for the joy they bring.
