The Adventures of Boomer on Friday—-I Say It’s Fall

Posted on August 26, 2016 by Dayphoto

Mom and thought it would be a good thing to show you…that IT IS FALL HERE!!!

The corn is starting to move from the milk into the dough. Next step it will dent. When it dents the Dad will stop irrigating the corn.

The deer love eating the corn right now. They eat off the cob, just like a human does.

The Rabbit Brush is blooming…it usually blooms in September.

The Leaves are starting to turn on the Cottonwood Trees

A whole month early

IT’S STILL AUGUST!

The Lilac leaves are turning yellow

And the pinto beans are turning ripe!

Harvest is just around the corner!

Once More the Hummers—Thursday, August 25, 2016

Posted on August 25, 2016 by Dayphoto

So far we are having lots and lots of Hummers. I’m now having to make 1 1/2 gallons of sugar water daily.

I’m NOT complaining. I just love these little things.

I didn’t do a very good job, but hope you can get a feel for these cute tiny birds. Although, I have noticed, in just a short time, the Rufus have left…I suppose it won’t be long now for these little ones to head further on down toward the south.

Makes me a little sad, but that’s the way of the summer birds.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Another Gift from Megan—Wednesday, August 24, 2016

Posted on August 24, 2016 by Dayphoto

Megan found another wonderful gift from nature…

Here is what she said: “It must be my week to see wonderful things! I found a humming bird nest this morning at the farm. One baby just hatched and the rest of the eggs were so so tiny! Thought you would like to see.”

No problem! It was such a cool thing to see. Lifted all the kids up to see it including James who isn’t so little anymore lol

THANK YOU SO MUCH, Megan! What a wonderful find! Thank you for sharing with all of us!

Love,

Linda

A Mercedes Benz in Our Drive Way—Tuesday, August 22, 2016

Posted on August 23, 2016 by Dayphoto

This weekend Terry and I received company of the most delightful kind. Bob and Elaine– long-time blog friends– drove over from the Black Forest, Colorado for an overnight visit

I fixed parmesan chicken, fresh corn on the cob, and tossed salad, with store bought ice cream on a stick for desert! Then we sat around and talked and talked and talked, until Terry said—“Goodness, I need to go change the water”—in the dark, with just a flashlight to aid him.

The next morning we had bunch — I made Huevos Rancheros, served with huge plates of fresh fruit–cantaloupe from Rocky Ford, Colorado, (thanks to Elaine and Bob), grapes, papaya, watermelon an assortment of cheese plus coffee.

All too quickly it was time for them to leave.

I had to laugh at a go fast Mercedes Benz sitting right next to the tractor in our farm yard!

Friends and Family—they are the cream on the jug of life!

Love,

Linda

Gift from a Blog Friend—-Monday, August 22, 2016

Posted on August 22, 2016 by Dayphoto

I do believe I am one of the luckiest people in the world. I have so many wonderful blog friends and each one of you is so amazingly generous to me!

Megan sent this to me with the following:

“Good morning Linda! I looked out my window this morning and couldn’t believe what I saw! I knew I had to send you a picture!! ”

” It was quite a feat getting my camera to focus on the web and not the garden behind it. The neighbors must have thought I was nuts hanging out the window taking pictures of who knows what ”

Megan

A Heart from a Spider, as a gift the world! Thank you, Megan!

Love,

Linda

New Alfalfa Field—Sunday, August 21, 2016

Posted on August 21, 2016 by Dayphoto

Our new field of alfalfa has grown so well Terry decided it was time to cut it.

Normally he wouldn’t cut it until next year, but the rains and the heat and warmth all contrived to help the new little plants grow sturdy and strong.

Our yard and the house smells like fresh mowed hay.
