While the hawk is hunting in another part of the farm
The bunnies (and I)
Enjoy a sweet little interlude
In the silence of
The equipment area.

FINISHED!!! Harvest Wrapped Up for 2021 — Sunday, December 5, 2021
We finished!
Before the weather changed
Without anything breaking down
Without too (TOO) long of waits in the long line to unload at the Elevator
Finished!
Last load!
YAY!

Passing Over Head —- Thursday, December 2, 2021
Sunlight bouncing off the weeds
In silence
The hunt to find food
This is our hawk…he/she has the damaged tail feather. It must be damaged at the root for it’s always this way over all the years.
I leave before I hear the dull thud…of contact
So, that, I only enjoy the beauty.

Caught in a Wind Storm — Wednesday, December 1, 2021
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’.

As the Land Passes Toward Slumber — Tuesday, November 30, 2021
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
Up There, All Swirly and Curly—Monday, November 29, 2021
There! Right there in the crisp air was a large swirly, twirly cloud
Magic so close. Almost touchable!
WOW!

The Magic of a Storm Arriving — Sunday, November 28, 2021
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
Happy Day of Giving Thanks —- Thursday, November 25, 2021
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
Dancing, Dancing, Dancing in the Sunlight —- Wednesday, November 24, 2021
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
