We had 750 bales of hay still to go to its new life as feed
Last week and Monday
It was loaded out and hauled away
Finished.
Whew!

The Year Grows Older — Monday, October 11, 2021
You can feel it in the afterglow of the sunset in the west
The world starting to grow silent
As everything gathers into itself for the long, long sleep of winter.

Soon, Very Soon, Sunday, October 10, 2021
The weather people are telling us
We are in the very last days of Summer.
Any time now…any time
A visit from Jack Frost will arrive.
Bringing with it lots and lots of snow for the mountains
And hard killing frosts, causing our temperatures to drop from the high 60’s into the low 50’s
These are the last days of Summer glimmering in the clouds, the sky, and on the land.

It Rained During the Early Morning Hours —- Thursday, October 7, 2021
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. 🙂

My Heart is Happy —Wednesday, October 6, 2021
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
If I’m Not Here Tuesday, Monday, October 4, 2021
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.

A Cloud Sat Down on the Farm —- Sunday, October 3, 2021
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
Blink — Time Moving Forward, Thursday, September 30, 2021
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.

The Clouds Built Up —- Wednesday, September 29, 2021
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.

Underneath the Changing Season —- Tuesday, September 28, 2021
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,
Linda
