The early morning rain brought a slightly clearing sky
The hint, just a wee hint, but still a hint
Of a turn coming
It probably won’t be long now until a killing frost arrives.
Until then, we will enjoy perfect early Autumn days
Where even the nasty weeds look attractive. 🙂

The operation went well. I’m am sure that each and every one of you helped. After all, if enough people pray–then all the prayers become solid and real.
Now Terry will continue to rest, let the whisperings of healing fill each and every fiber of his being.
Thank you, all for your wishes, thoughts, and prayers for a good surgery and for healing.
Each of you is so amazingly wonderful.
From my HEART to your Heart,
Linda
Today, Monday, Terry goes in for a hernia operation.
It will be good to get this hernia fixed
It’s an in-and-out operation, so I should be back tomorrow.
But, just in case I’m not
You will know why.

We woke up to fog one day after the rain
The world is all silent and close
Moisture settling all around us, and on us,
The quiet washing the world anew!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Gosh, here we are the last day of September.
Tomorrow is October.
The shadows in Autumn are just a little bit thicker now
A little bit darker, the light from the sun more brilliant
The air holds a chill much easier
Although, the middle of the day holds a tad touch of Summer
I must confess, the only time of the year, the weeds are sorta kinda pretty.
Blink…time is moving fast.

And the wind rustled the grasses
Then noisy fat drops of rain fell
Not a lot of drops, but a nice amount, to clear the air.
Lovely Autumn rain.

There is a quietness descending on the land now,
You can feel it as we finish up the summer work
There is a dreamy, wistful feel about the land, the sky, the air, everywhere
You can see it in the gathering colors of the plants, glittering here and there
It’s a dreamy, rather suspended feeling
The sun moving toward the southern part of the sky
The smoke from the fires lessening
The gradually falling leaves confirm….an
The icy winter storms are lurking there…just there. Waiting to become more.
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

That lift up our hearts
Even the bugs in the air, make for a pretty neat feeling of happy
WOW! A first for me…a Bubble bee in flight
And a darling bunny in a hurry to get away from us
OH! MY! LOOK! AN EAGLE!!!!
Another rather shy one.
A flying grasshopper! (TLC Cai-Cai loves to catch them)
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh a hawk.
A leaf falling down (the green one) and a bird taking off
Lovely, just lovely!
A little Quail family!
This was just Grand, I thought.
Gathering and leaving, moving through—Good Bye!
Buzzzz
A graceful dance in the sky.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Bright and early
Just as the light started to grey in the eastern sky
We headed out with the 730 to join the Fly Wheelers Tractor Club
On their annual fall Tractor Drive.
It was a hoot!
There were tractors from Paonia, Clifton, Montrose, Delta and Cedaredge there
Most of us wimm’n folk got to ride in the hay wagon. Ann had her own tractor so she drove 🙂
What an enjoyable
Fun (and unusual) thing to do.

The little hummers are still filtering through
They don’t stay long…just spend time to fill up then they are GONE
Oh, gosh! I say to them….Hurry, Hurry a big freeze will soon be coming and you don’t want to be here when it happens.
Fingers crossed I don’t have any more come through. Which means they have finally made it through our part of the world to someplace else much warmer.
