Out by the haystack
There rose a clatter
A fight in progress
All caught on the game camera
Intense and amazing

We Lost the Internet Last Week—Sunday, October 1, 2023
Our internet went down for a whole day last week! (Horrors)
It seemed like a long, long day. So many things run on the internet now, that it has become as important as electricity.
Anyway, I am grateful and thankful it’s back.
Also—guess what?! I found a heart rock hugging a pretty little quartz.
Life is good!

YAY! THE HEAT IS GONE! No more panting and panting and panting.
No more hiding in the shade and having to come inside to cool down!
Being Outside is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
Yes! It! Is!

As You Walk Toward the End of Your World, Thursday, September 28, 2023
Enjoy each strange and simple moment in the magic of each day
Hold onto each and every step, and place them simmering in your memory.
Living is such an enjoyable gift in time.

Gossamer— Wednesday, September 27, 2023
The Autumn light has arrived. Tangling all the amazing colors of Orange, red-orange, and purple, with slashes of yellow
Gossamer strands of light flowing over the sky, on the land, against our skin.
Flowing into our hearts and within our souls.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Sometimes I Think About Growing Old, Tuesday, September 26, 2023
Sometimes I think of growing old. Usually, it is when my body is having a ‘moment’ of falling apart. Otherwise, I really never think of my age (74)
I genuinely wake up each day filled with enthusiasm for the day and for the abundant chores, which are always part of each and every moment
Being older now, has a new kind of silence in it—the noisy chatter of the 20s is gone,
The intense drive of the thirties only an echo
The struggles of the 40s and 50s are lulled into peace and quiet
The effort to find balance in the 60s is over.
Now, the seventies are comfortable, and the easy feel of familiar places within oneself has manifested — it is a rarer type of silence
True peace about who oneself is and where one has been, and a unique sense of adventure looming—
From my heart to your world,
Linda

The Air Smells Like Autumn Now — Thursday, September 21, 2023
The signs are every where
It’s Onion Harvest (no, we don’t raise onions, but our neighbors do)
Pinto Bean harvest (we stopped raising beans a few years back) is happening just across the road from us
(The ensilage/silage trucks are thick on the roads)
The third
cutting of hay is done or being done even as I write.
(Ours is all cut, baled, stacked, and sold. The last load went out Saturday afternoon—YAY)
(Some of these photos are from my archives—still, everything is happening just as I have written)
The only thing going on now (for us) is irrigation. The alfalfa and grass cannot go into winter dry. And the corn needs to be as full and heavy with water as possible.
Yes…Autumn—our world is full of harvests!
