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

If I Had to Pick One Thing that Makes Me Happy — Monday, July 29, 2024

Posted on July 29, 2024 by Dayphoto

Swallows! I love these little birds!

About as much as I love seeing Rainbows in the sky!

Or the sunsetting behind the corn

Or those cute little squirrels (one lost his tail to TLC—-Sigh)

Or just walking along to set water and THERE is a heart gift from the earth.

Gosh, there are so many gentle and sweet things out there—it’s hard to pick just one.

“I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days.”–Henry David Thoreau

When Smoke Gets in Your Eyes —- Sunday, July 28, 2024

Gosh, these horrible wildfires are just terrible! All of the northwest and Canada seem to be burning. My heart goes out to each and every person, animal, bug, and plant!

This is our sun, about 7:00 in the evening, on July 24th.

I can’t imagine what it’s like where the fires are. 😦

Sigh

At the Car Show —- Thursday, July 25, 2024

We entered the Corvette in the car show last Saturday. But the funniest part of the day was the Valve Cover Races.

(You have to make a little car out of a valve cover —like a pine box derby car )

NEVER GROW OLD, My Friends! NEVER!

So, into the twilight

Where everything is big and large and full of the day’s last light.

Yes….Terry and I truly do find joy, in being out on the land.

Baby, Baby, —Sunday, July 21, 2024

It’s happening!

The corn is starting to tassel

And the baby ears are forming!

So! SOOO! Very exciting!

“Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape; but most of all….summer was Dill.” Harper Lee

(Or maybe CORN!)
