Listen Carefully to the Earth as It Falls Asleep —- Sunday, May 12, 2024

Quietly stop wherever you are and listen

To the sounds of the earth

Falling sleep.

Gradually, gradually the birds, the animals, the insects, the plants, and even the sky

Say Good Night!—as they drift off into the land of dreams.

 

From my world to your heart,

Linda

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-MOM! It’s Cold Outside!, Friday, May 10, 2024

MOM!  It’s cold outside.  I don’t care that it’s green and warm looking it is still cold!

Well, let’s go in then and get you warm.  🙂

(We’ve been having a cold, cold front move through.  It is very cold.  I’m ready for it to warm back up —  so is Boo Berry)

TLC loves it colder!

HAWK!! Wednesday, May 8, 2024

“You must never judge who God forgives and who he does not”.:  Bless Me, Ultima, by Rudolfo Anaya

Hide little birds (by the barrels) there is a hawk in the air!

Ah, Red-Tailed Hawk you are stunningly beautiful

It’s so hard to see you kill—but you also, must eat.

Who am I to judge, who am I?

From my world to your heart,

Linda

 

There are Times — Tuesday, May 7, 2024

I must admit

There are times when my thoughts

Are not as perky as they should be.

When a weight seems to weigh heavy

A nose-dive, to be sure.

But it never, ever fails…that when I’m in a funk…the earth gives to me a heart.

How can I stay in a dark place

When there are amazing gifts everywhere?

I am truly blessed!  As you are too, all we have to do is look.

From my heart to your world,

Linda

 

Planting Corn! Monday, May 6, 2024

Terry has the corn planted.  He took two hayfields out of production — they have grown old.

And planted corn!

Now, the only thing left to plant is our new alfalfa field.  Soon!  Real soon, but not just yet.

Sometimes I Wish Time Would Stand Still—Sunday, May 5, 2024

There is nothing (to me) more lovely, than the heady, fragrance of Lilacs.  They won’t last long, but as long as they do I am giving thanks for the joy they bring.

And guess what?!?!?  I saw a rainbow….very faint!  BUT still a rainbow.

FIRST of the Season!!

Time…it marches on always.  Giving us fleeting gifts of such happiness;

the expanse of sky, our land, and the beautiful spirits of all!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Sunbeams of a Special Kind, Friday, May 3, 2024

I was busy just doing my thing—

When Mom Yelled—-

Come with me, Boo Berry—

Come on!!

Hurry! Hurry!  We have a  RAINBOW!!

The very first of the season!

Okay!

That is a good thing?

Yes!  It is, Mom said.  Bending down to pet me.  Yes, it is!

I think anything that gets Mom petting me is a good thing. 🙂
