We went for a ride, listened to the music of the motor and tires, and hummed along with them.

The ground is perfect right now (for plowing)
Rich, dark, with just the right amount of moisture in it to make soft crumbly soil, later on.
Spring is in the air —I saw two Robins Saturday, a wee Western Meadowlark singing on the fence post, and a tiny flock of 4 bluebirds flying along the ditch bank.
Spring is starting to SPRING FORTH! YAY! New Beginnings! A reason to go outside and experience JOY!

Mom and Dad have been working to clean up that
HUGE branch that fell in the yard
TLC and I helped
TLC said let’s play over here…that way we are out of the way.
After a bazillion hours, it was time to go in
TLC beat me to the house—he went in with Dad
I had to wait for Mom
HURRY MOM!
Finally! She got there!

When I see the fleeting beauty of sun-colored clouds or the golden light of the morning or evening sun
When the golden sunlight picks up the Canada Geese or the Sandhill Cranes wings flash through the clouds or the colors of their feathers as they feed in the fields
As the sun sets ever so gradually, yet swiftly, It feels like the day only lasts for a short time, then winks out to begin again the next day.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Saturday was a mess of a day—40 to 60 mph wind gusts…then around 4:50 p.m. (the house camera caught a giant limb breaking off the very old Cottonwood tree)
A huge limb came crashing down—thankfully not on the house, or the carport — we were home when it happened. It was a tad scary, to say the least.
Sunday we woke up to a skiff of snow/ice and that big branch.
Aw, life—you get to thinking you are caught up on the big jobs — when you get to have another one! 🙂

I was out doing my thing:
You know–hunting!
When I decided to head out to the field to see if there were any field mice wanting to play with me
Yep…lots of big birds
Oh! Well. I started moving along the gated pipe, searching and searching, trying to coax at least one mouse out into the open.
While I was doing that a new flock of the GIANT BIRDS FLEW DOWN AND LIT RIGHT BY ME!!!
I tried to ignore them, but ONE DECIDED TO PECK MY HEAD!!! Mom washed my head—but I washed it better.
I AM NOT BIRD FOOD!!!
I ran as fast as I could back to the house!
It was a couple of days before I felt comfortable going outside.
Mom said to be careful for a spell. The cranes are starting to migrate
It won’t be long until they are all gone…but until then….
I need to stay in the yard!

It was put up on a public website, so I don’t see it as a problem if you share it. It is one of the best rainbow photos I have seen. I just had to send it to you.
WOW! Thank you so much! It is an amazing! AMAZING! Rainbow!
