“Forever on Thanksgiving Day, the heart will find the pathway home.”–Wilbur D. Nesbit 

We began cleaning out the catchment pond

(this is used to improve the quality of water going onto the farm: the dirt settles to the bottom filling up the pond and not clogging up the siphon tubes)

We worked for ten hours and then stopped.  We will begin again later.  There is about three days’ worth of hauling there.

Brightening My Day — Monday, November 25, 2024

We had finished up!  Cleaned and parked the truck, cleaned and parked the combine

When walking back to the house I SAW a Kiss from the earth!

LOOK!!! Isn’t it just perfect!

I’ve never found one, before, with hints of pink in it.  I brought it home, washed it up, and set it in my kitchen window!

Brightening my life every time I look at it!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-FUN! FUN! FUN!!! ‘Till Momma Takes it Away, Friday, November 22, 2024

My oldest human sister bought me an amazing gift!

It sounds like a real bird, it flops like a real bird and tastes like a real bird.

I LIKE IT!

Mom is always taking the real birds away from me.  She says I can’t eat real birds only mice. She then puts the real birds somewhere….I look but I can never find them.

Wherever Mom puts them I hear Mom say—“Now you are safe!  Heal quickly and fly away.”

I have to really attack this bird so Mom will leave it alone.

BIRD! BIRD! BIRD! BIRD IS THE WORD!!!!!

Sometimes the Sky, the Earth, the Moon —- Thursday, November 21, 2024

Sometimes the sky, the Earth, and the moon, seem

Seem well, seems so wistful! And lonesome—adding a degree of, I don’t know—I don’t seem to have words.  Just a feeling.  Pink water, pink clouds, and a sliver of a moon.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Watching Watching Always Watching— Wednesday, November 20, 2024

I watched a rainstorm play along the Uncompahgre Plateau, dipping down into the Roubidoux Canyon.

We had sprinkles here.

But more than sprinkles I saw this gift

As the golden hour appeared so did a rainbow shining amoung the dark clouds and the leaves being lifted and flown through the air

Delightful!

A Wonderful Gladness Fills Me—Tuesday, November 19, 2024

Coming back from the first Cornfield, walking quickly, but not too fast, I happened to look down to a wonderous gift from the farm/earth to me!

I’m Always Surprised —- Sunday, November 17, 2024

After all the snow, and all the rain, while walking to help get the Combine ready, I looked down and SAW!!! A marvelous gift from the earth!

A heart rock!

A scared gift.  For certain and for sure.

I told Mother Earth—-Thank you.  Thank you ever so much!

From my world to your heart,
