I was out and about just enjoying myself
Doing this and that
The dog, our dog—Boo Berry Betty—had come out
Then had gone back in.
I was getting a tad bored
So, I headed to the dirt pile
This is a big pile of dirt Dad keeps for
Repairing the roads, and ditch banks
And stuff like that
So anyway, Out I went
It was warm and sunny
I decided Mouse would taste good
Right about now.
When
SUDDENLY I SAW
DANGER
The only thing left for me to do
WAS
SCATTER!

The third cutting is accomplished. All three fields are now “down” drying.
Depending on the weather, the next step will be baling and hauling it in and getting it sold. (Although, some of it is already sold! 🙂 Thankfully)

Our car club, the Delta Street Rodders took a fun cruise to Silverton, Colorado.
Jim and Dianna Muller lead the way 🙂
We had eight fancy collectible cars (and one truck)
Gary and Connie with their 1948 Willis Overland Jeepster
We took a wee road break just outside of Ouray, Colorado as we started up the Million Dollar highway
The Colors were OUTSTANDING!!!
Food at the Thee Pitts Again was YUMMY!
The train had come in when we got there
What a fun job for people living close to the station
in Durango!
We ate, shopped,
and did all the tourist stuff 🙂
Then it was time to head home.
(This is Christ of the Mines in Silverton, Colorado)
It was a perfectly wonderful day!

Something was causing the outside light to come on, several times a night.
Thinking it was probably a stray cat, or raccoon, or even those nasty coyotes I
put a game camera out by the outside light
I’m thinking this might be a porcupine. Although, possibly a large rabbit—-bear? (tee hee), mountain lion, Wolverine? ( 🙂 ) or? 🙂
What do you think?

WOW! Thank you, Elaine! Your sky is positively humming!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
A regular feast of moisture
The only sound for a long long time is the whisper plop
Of raindrops
We were so desperate here for rain—this has been a true blessing.
Bliss!

“COMPANY! I yelled, TLC COMPANY!”
“Who?” TLC Cai- Cai asked as he lazily walked toward me.
“Loki,
Black Beauty,
and Kia!”
“Oh, I like Black Beauty”
TLC Cai Cai exclaimed!
“I don’t think I like ANYONE!
If Mom stays,
I will be okay— I can handle the company.
OTHERWISE, I AM GOING TO
SCATTER!”

The only sounds in the garden are the buzzing of the winged ones
and the chirping of the birds as they migrate through
and there under this beautiful Heavenly Blue Morning Glory
A heartbeat from the earth.
Peace. What a marvelous thing it is.

This is the time of year when the earth is warmer than the air
When a lovely foggy mist rises up from the land
Surrounding us in silent glory
The whole earth is blessed in this single moment of silence.
