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

The Perect Art of Homecoming —- Tuesday, October 10, 2023

Friday night, September 6th was Delta’s Homecoming.

Senior Royalty

Senior Attendent

Terry and the beautiful Junior

Sophmore

Freshman

And because the school wanted a wee car show—Janet brought her car

And Sam came with his roadster. (I got to ride back in the roadster instead of walking the football field several times taking photos–which was neat!)

A Delightful bit of fun for everyone!

Holding Your Breath — Monday, October 9, 2023

There are still a few farmers getting in onions, and pinto beans….maybe some who have a fourth cutting of hay drying on the ground. (We never go for a fourth, but let the plants have as much growth as possible to go into the winter.)

But for us and many, many others we are in that spot of time waiting for the corn to dry down.

Sing a Song of Fall — Sunday, October 8, 2023

Who could not love this time of year?

The color of Gold fills our eyes and our hearts

Everything is busy, busy, busy preparing for winter.

The joy of Autumn is everywhere!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

We all went for a walk, Mom, Boo, and me—-TLC

Mom was thrilled,

Boo and I didn’t really care, but it made Mom happy so we were happy!

Irrigation is Finished for the Year—Thursday, October 5, 2023

 

The moving and changing of water is over for the year.  Now we wait for the corn to dry down

Each day the stalks, the leaves, the tops, and the ears turn drier and drier.

We are in a time of not so much work; a reprieve from too much work.

Which is a lovely place to be.

Sometimes I Think About Dying —- Wednesday, October 4, 2023

Sometimes I think about dying—what it might be like, what I would like to experience when my time comes

I know that seems morbid, but really it isn’t

I hope I get to experience ‘death’ with full understanding.  My soul separated from the earthly body and my ‘whole self’ moved into the tunnel of light

Then seeing that light–that white light that draws all souls toward it.

Being fully aware…not just suddenly slapped into the tunnel, or drugged so even my soul finds it hard to move.

Aware.  Every step of the way!

Yes, I know that is odd…but, I do think about it off and on.

The Moon Whispers — Tuesday, October 3, 2023

The moon whispers Joy as it rises above mankind’s sorrows

The heat of anger, meanness, and petty feelings all leaked away in the coolness of the moon’s light.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Click, Click, Click, Clack— Monday, October 2, 2023

Out by the haystack

There rose a clatter

A fight in progress

All caught on the game camera

Intense and amazing

We Lost the Internet Last Week—Sunday, October 1, 2023

Our internet went down for a whole day last week! (Horrors)

It seemed like a long, long day.  So many things run on the internet now, that it has become as important as electricity.

Anyway, I am grateful and thankful it’s back.

Also—guess what?!  I found a heart rock hugging a pretty little quartz.

Life is good!

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda

YAY! THE HEAT IS GONE!  No more panting and panting and panting.

No more hiding in the shade and having to come inside to cool down!

Being Outside is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

Yes! It! Is!

TLC and Boo Berry
