The corn is tasselling
The baby ears are forming
Summer, laughing softly, as time slowly slips toward Fall.
The song of Corn,
From my world to your heart,
Linda

The Old Gods Live Here and There and Everywhere — Thursday, July 22, 2021
Sometimes I think to myself, that the Old Gods
Those awe-inspiring Gods of long-long-long ago
Are still here among us
Only we have different names for them now. (Like nature, wind, rain, etc.)
They are still here, flying with the birds in the air
Singing to our hearts and minds and souls in the morning
And in the evening.
They are in the sunlight,
And glittering off the tiny wings of Humming Birds
They gather in the most unlikely of places
They bring together the edges
Lifting up our hearts
When our hearts have tripped, or fallen slightly, or leaned a little too far here or there
Then the old Gods rebalance everything, even us.

That Brutal World We Live In — Wednesday, July 21, 2021
While out-and-about
I saw a coyote (from a distance) hanging out where the swather had been sitting and where the squirrels were playing.
He/she was sporting the Summer-fur look.
POUNCE!
A quick dash off.
Sigh!
I drove the four-wheeler over to the spot, to save the rest of the surry of squirrels, at least for a short while.

WOW! A Gift! —–Tuesday, July 20, 2021
This is so exciting!
A family of squirrels fell in love with the swather.
Their very own playground (for a spell, at least).

Third Field — Monday, July 19, 2021
Terry cut the third field of alfalfa…
Now we wait for it to dry.
Even though this field is just cut…it has been sold.

Within the Restless Clouds—Sunday, July 18, 2021
Sometimes the unique occurs…Marianne from Northview Diary sent me this:
Hi Linda,
Actually every time I see a rainbow or a sundog I think of you. This little cutie was contained within a cloud, something I had never seen before.
Take care,
a Rainbow cloud to cloud is very new to me and a huge delight to see.
Thank you ever so much, Marianne!
Just perfect to share this gift from New York with each one of you.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
We had Rain, Softly Gentle Rain — Thursday, July 15, 2021
Even though we have hay down (sigh)
The gift of rain blessed our part of the world.
A simple necessity, and a not so small joy!

Enjoy the Moment — Wednesday, July 14, 2021
The smoke is thick here from all the fires in the west. Sometimes so thick the street lights think it is time to come on.
Meanwhile —-
Those darling little Barn Swallow babies…
Are getting close to leaving the nest! 🙂

Opening the Second Field — Tuesday, July 13, 2021
The second field is now cut
And drying
With this furnace-like heat, we should see the hay ready to bail soon. (although, we will need some dew in the mornings to actually make the bales. I sure hope it all comes together.)

SOLD — Monday, July 12, 2021
Every last bale of the first field was loaded up and hauled out
Just before the clock stuck 9:00 p.m.
Two trucks, two trailers; all the hay gone to new homes!
YAY!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
Linda
