Wind in the Fur and the Hair and in the Trees —- Thursday, March 23, 2023

The March winds are here

The wind in March has a true purpose

Without the wind the trees would have trouble

For it is with the wind the trees are able to bring the sap up from the roots.

Wind!  We jump for joy!

Soon the trees will have leaves!

WOW! Time Does Fly —- Wednesday, March 22, 2023

I have been blogging for 16 years this week!

I am stunned.

But also very grateful for all of you staying with me over all these years.

Thank you very, very much!

From my Heart to Your Heart,

A Shinning Simplicity — Tuesday, March 21, 2023

The sun has been seen so rarely all this late fall, winter, and now early spring

That when we do have it we are over-wrought with

Immense joy.

I would like to hang onto the joy of the sun.  Instead, we have the diaphanous sheen of pearly grey.

Sigh.

We had a wee walkabout—just as the sky was turning lavender.

Perfect!

The Weather People are Saying: ‘SNOW Coming to Us Starting Monday’!, Sunday, March 19, 2023

They say—

That more of this is coming in

O! Please!

Let all of this

Be just a memory—-

Until next year—

in November through February.

Please let genuine Spring Begin!

Storm clouds forming!  Sigh!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Back on the Land AGAIN!, Friday, March 17, 2023

TLC and I went outside to

PLAY!!!

But—

Dad was backing up that big

Scary

Machine.

(This was taken two weeks ago)

So, we ran back inside!

Mom told us Dad was going out to see if the rain made it

Too muddy to get back out

On the Land.

Guess what?!

Dad is BACK ON THE LAND!

TLC and Boo Berry

A Wee Break in the Storms — Wednesday, March 15, 2023

We are in-between storms.

The sunshine is crisp and delightful

The mud is starting to firm.

But——–another round of storms is heading in here again.

Sigh,

From my heart to your world,

Linda

It Has Been a Winter of Wood —- Tuesday, March 14, 2023

No, not just firewood

But pruning of the orchard

Pruning of the dangerous limbs off the old trees by the house

And weed trees growing where they should NOT be!

Wood!  We’ve been crazy for wood this year.  🙂

Then the Rains Came — Monday, March 13, 2023

The lawns are showing sprigs of green—the alfalfa is getting two leaf sprouts, and the weeds are thriving!

Although cold, it is starting to feel more and more like Spring.
