Even though one might be having a bad day, remember this thought: It’s only a bad day, not a bad life.
One sleep and everything is different the next day!

These THINGS are here now!
I must look at the farm from a different angle—can’t get out there and get stomped on.
Yes! They do try to stomp on cats!
Or kick them and watch them fly through the air.
So…nope! No way am I patrolling by the grain bins, the equipment storage area, or the edge of the fields.
Nope, no way.

Every day we go for a walk. Never far, never long, but enough to build back strength.
And every day I look for those winged-friends who light up the sky and send songs to our hearts.

And no matter—- if one is sick or not. We have to keep warm! (And to be honest with you, I think a little physical activity is a good thing—it pushes a body to want to recover—of course, don’t ever overdo it.)

I love this time of day….just as the sky is starting to lighten—Just before the sunrises
It’s a soft sort of time—(or in the winter a very sharp and cold sort of time)
Then the sun is UP!!! And the world begins! 🙂
Such a joy!
“Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance-a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.”—Augusta E. Rundel
May you all stay healthy and WELL!!!

Watch the sun (or the moon) sweeping delicately from east to west
Lower your eyes to the ground—looking, looking for those beautiful, wonderful kisses from the earth
Called Heart Rocks.
Finally, I feel well enough to take a wee walk about. Not a long one, but one that helps bring fresh air, peace, and sunshine to my soul and body.
So forth, enjoy the peace, the calmness, and the beauty outside can bring!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
She’s a jumper!!! GRRRR!
After we got her back in and strung another hot wire (with a piece of alfalfa tied onto it), she seems to behaving herself!

Finally! I am better! What a slog that was! YAY!

I have COVID! Will try to be back by Sunday. I hope!
“The bond between a pet and a human is a sacred one, and when a pet is gone, a part of us goes with them.”–James Herriot (author of All Creatures Great and Small)
We have live water on our place, which is a huge gift to the ranchers who winter their cows here.
But live water can also have wee problems: the cows walk in it and break down the sides in, or it freezes solid.
Terry goes out each day and checks the live water. Makes the rancher happy, the cows happy and us happy come spring. 🙂
