We had a fiery sunset. With rain showers all around us but not On us.
Then a dramatic, exciting thunder and lightning storm appeared
It lasted on and on, shrinking and moving off, then roaring back. The rain came down in torrents. YAY!
SO AMAZING!!!

I decided to hang a game camera where I’ve been feeding the wild creatures.
Lots and lots of raccoons. Or the same ones over and over.
A fluffy tail and the raccs
Deer! Moms, babies, and Dads
Okay. Time to stop feeding everyone. These wild creatures need to work for a living. Not just pick off food while they are eating at the buffet.
From my world to your heart.

Either a sundog or a rainbow appeared!
Terry opted for Sundog—which is good, because it speaks of cooler weather.
I went for Rainbow. Because I could see the tail end of a Rainbow blessing those who live on Antelope Hill.
Either way, the hurrying clouds soon moved it out of sight. No rain, but still — a wonder.
But for a short while, we had something unique in the glorious sky.

The land was beautiful yesterday—- the deep green of the alfalfa, the blue, blue of the sky, and those wonderful, amazing clouds!!
They were fast-moving, changing from dots of cotton (or marshmallows) into a big dark cloud.
The day was exciting in its peace—and the songs of birds everywhere.
Joyful sights and sounds of being alive!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
I have a job.
Well, I have several jobs, but the biggest and best — is barking the Amazon truck into the yard.
Or the UPS Truck.
Or the FedEx Truck.
Or the Mail Lady.
The Ditch Rider.
OR ANYONE OR ANYTHING THAT COMES INTO THE FARM YARD!!!
Yepper! That’s Me!
Loud, Shrill, Doorbell! (Until Dad yells STOP, that is.)
Boo Berry Betty Brown
Terry is putting new teeth in the hay rake. The days are still pretty warm in the sunshine so he brought the rake into the yard.
Under the big trees, and in the music of birds singing and flying through the leaves.
As Summer ends….the repair of equipment begins.
Happiness abounds!

The God(s) really like for us to notice them
Or at least to see those creatures who are close to their hearts
(This pheasant was calling himself a girlfriend)
How the sun lifts the sky to a color frenzy
Or the moon tries to kiss the stars
I think we really need to stop and just listen to the day’s silence—for within that time
I often feel like we can hear God(s)
From my world to your heart,
Linda
You can even see the tire mark.
Gosh!
So I picked it up and brought it home after telling it “sorry” for driving over it.

Food! Food! Food! I really think I’m a bit hungry.
(All photos caught on the house cameras)
Nothing here! Nothing. The lady who lives here has lots of plants but nothing worth munching on.
CORN! CORN! I’m going to go help myself to some CORN!!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Hummm, yummm, the homan woman brought out really good snacks.
Chomp chomp slurp
MINE!! You get!!!
