We had a bit of a wind, the other day…a whipping you in the face wind
Not a gentle hum of rustling leaves wind
But a PICK everything UP and FLING it around party wind
A get dirt in your face, eyes, and ears — wind.
Sometimes winds are like that—over the top, flicking you with ‘stuff’.

We give Thanks for the gifts that God(s) give to us
During this growing twilight time of year
For every season there is something to provide joy for each of us
Blessings of abundance
As the Autumn fades and we begin
our long ride into the dark of Winter.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
There! Right there in the crisp air was a large swirly, twirly cloud
Magic so close. Almost touchable!
WOW!

Under a thick black cloud
With chilly fingers of wind
Frosty clouds of rain and sleet dropped into the canyons
And across the Uncompahgre Plateau
The sun behind the clouds
Making everything glisten like an opal
The clouds like sparkling gems stones
Even unto the very end of the light of day.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
I give Thanks to each of you, My Dear Readers and Friends
Thanks for the beauty of the land, our farm,
and the world we live in
And for my family…each one of you, near and far.
From my heart to your heart,
Linda
The dance of food/life
The sun and jet…streaming in the shivering air
Lawerance of Arabia, Tonto’s replacement…dancing, dancing for all the girls
The Quail rising into the sky
Moonlight; adding beauty to the earth, air, the heavens
A rather thin little pheasant—dashing, dashing, dashing away.
And my miss at getting a nice photo of a Flicker.
Each and everything dancing in my soul.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Guess what?!?!
We have started the corn harvest for this year 2021!
So exciting!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Beamed an amazing gift of hard work and beauty into my life.
She sent me a handmade card, a lovely spot of color for my neck, and a most dear little gnome she and Gene created. Gene did all the wood carving and Connie painted this delicate little creature.
What a delightful gift of happiness the mailman delivered to us!
Thank you so much, Connie and Gene!

The Flames of mighty truths
The Large and Vibrant Whispers
Of an Arch Angel’s Glittering, and gossamer spell casting deep shadows on the land.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
We spent the afternoon listening to the psalm of the wood splitter
Making a pile of split wood from the ‘way too big to get into the firebox logs’.
We just do a few. I sort and stack as I haul in the just-right size of logs, then when the big log pile gets too big. Outcomes the wood splitter.
Helping us stay warm and toasty throughout the heart of winter.
