Everything in the World Has Its Own Brilliance—Wednesday, May 10, 2023

Everything!

The rows of water filling and darkening the soil—getting the ground ready for the corn seed

Each and every twig of the ancient willow tree (the big birds, hawks, crows, ravens, and owls all love this huge old tree—which is why we keep it), outlined in silver

The evening sunlight dappling radiance upon and through the pear blossoms

The rising sun’s rays glittering and flickering on each and everything thing

The illuminating  transformation is there, always—

day or night

Summer, Spring, Fall, and Winter.

 

The world is a vivid, blazing, and shining gift to each and every one of us.

From my world to your heart!

Linda

A Trip to High Wire Ranch—Monday, May 8. 2023

Our car club had their spring meeting at the gracious invitation from Dave and Sue at the High Wire Ranch, in Hotchkiss

(Accelerating into a RUN)

After lots of good food, a short meeting

Dave took us out to see their massive herd of Buffalo

And the darling new babies!

Dave told us Buffalos are very athletic and love to run.

It was exhilarating to watch!

Thank you, Dave and Sue, for the delightful gift of seeing buffalo and buffalo babies!

A Rainbow, a Apple Tree, a Gift to You and Me —- Thursday, May 4, 2023

Randy from Kennonsburg, Ohio, sent me this delightful rainbow and the blooming apple tree

“A Rainbow! After a thunderstorm a few minutes ago! The sun was shining during the thunderstorm. I got my camera and went outside after the rain and saw the rainbow.😀

We had a lot of rain Friday night It is to rain off and on until Wednesday and in the 30s at night until Thursday. I planted potatoes on April 8 and onion sets on April 26.”

Gosh, this is just lovely!  JUST LOVELY!

Thank you so much,

Your friend on a farm on the western slope of Colorado,

From Kate, An Amazingly Different Rainbow— Wednesday, May 3, 2023

Hello there!

Exif_JPEG_420

I saw this when I was walking doggo home from our walk this morning. It was a fine drizzle in the air, the sun was shining behind me, and right at the top of the hill, you could see this long bar of rainbow colours. It wasn’t really a rainBOW, it was more a straight line sitting down on the horizon. The violet was right down on the tops of the trees. It lasted just a few minutes and wasn’t very bright, but it was so deep and so unusual, I thought you might like it for your collection.
Kate
I do, Kate!   Thank you ever so much!
I am the luckiest person — I am gifted rainbows from everywhere and all around the world!

From my heart to your heart,
Linda

Looking for Hearts — Monday, May 1, 2023

I hold my eyes to the ground trying to move them in harmony with the soil and the rocks, and the bits of weeds and stuff

Searching with a wee prayer in my heart:  “If you are there little heart, show yourself to me. Please I beseech you!”

Then I calm my clamoring mind and wait for a heart to appear.

Sometimes it does —like this one last year.

Sometimes there is nothing.

Which is fine.  If I am to find a heart, and the heart is ready to be found.

It will appear.  🙂
