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 Place of Beauty and Peace—Wednesday, April 24, 2024

Although there are plenty of problems running a farm, there are also moments and times when peace is so real, and the beauty of the earth so profound my soul is filled with awe.

A Truly Exciting Thing Happened —- Tuesday, April 23, 2024

We have a flock of wild turkeys that migrated to our farm!

Terry and I were going out to change the water and THERE THEY WERE!!

A whole flock of them—18 hens!  We haven’t seen the Tom yet!

WOW!  This is the very first ever for our farm!

Fragments — Sunday, April 21, 2024

A wee phone photo of the Moon and Juniper…take a few nights ago.

Giving us vivid, though a tad fractured because of my phone, glimpse of space where neither time nor our crazy worried thoughts matter.

Gifts Here, There, Scattered Everywhere —- Thursday, April 18, 2024

Our world is now all green and growing

The trees are speaking to us and to each other, while they wake up putting out new shiny leaves.

Gifts are everywhere, beckoning us to stop and look and listen

Once more I was gifted with a lovely heart-in-the-making rock—lying there scattered at my feet.

A gift given to me through no action of my own, but to look down, and be grateful for this beautiful free largesse.

I feel so humble and joyful all at once.

When Getting Ready to Set some Tubes —- Wednesday, April 17, 2024

When I was getting ready to pick up a set of siphon tubes to start some water in the rows I saw

A Heart rock!  Waiting just for me!

WHAT A GIFT!

Thank you, Mother Earth!  Thank you!

From my world to your heart,

I Wonder — Tuesday, April 16, 2024

I wonder if the earth is really Eden.  I can’t imagine a more perfect beautiful, wonderful place than Earth.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

AND NOW We are THERE! —- Monday, April 15, 2024

First I dug all the siphon tubes out the ditches, while Terry marked out the fields

Then I started placing them in the exact spot where they will spend the rest of the farming season.

Then we

Began!

Water in the furrows!

YAY!
