That’s about it for here. Still, it was rather neat to have the sky, the air, and the earth slightly darken.

Winter is Whispering in the Wind—-Monday, October 16, 2023
It froze last night and
the night before
There are some blooms that have missed the killing frost
Those who succumbed are resting now
Waiting for Spring.
Winter is whispering in the wind…there is snow on the mountains surrounding us
For a few more days, possibly weeks, we will walk in the realm of the dying, the sacred ground of summer past.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
And Now I Present to You the STAR of the FARM —- Sunday, October 15, 2023
TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The Star of the farm!
Corn!
It’s not dry yet. When it totally dries down the ear will turn over facing the ground.
Once that happens we wait until the moisture in the corn reaches a certain point–14% or lower. Then we harvest!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-You Do What You Do and I’ll Do MY STUFF, Friday, October 13, 2023
I’ve been busy lately. Hanging around outside as much as I can
I go outside at the crack of dawn, when Mom gets up
Come in around 10 for my breakfast then head right back out again
Then I don’t come in again. (Although, I do hang out with Mom or Dad or Boo if they are out where I can see them).
Until the sun starts to set. I’m outside so much my fur is changing colors to a very dark brown.
FALL!
It is my FAVORITEST TIME OF THE YEAR! YEOW!!!!

Through a Dirty Windshield, Thursday, October 12, 2023
Off we went with Brett and Mariann on a wee trip
Over Owl Creek Pass heading into the SawTooth Mountain Range
It was a perfect day
Full of warmth, color, good friends, and
Stunning tunnels of gold.
We traveled to the Silver Jack Reservoir
Then onto Sero Summit
Our eyes full of colors
And wonderful smells for the doggie’s noses. (Boo Berry went, and their two dogs, Abbie and Shelby)
What a marvelous day for all

Even Though—Wednesday, October 11, 2023
We had rain a while back
We are very dry again
A quick, heavy shower to settle all the dust and maybe make some mud would be nice.
And a rainbow! We need another rainbow! 🙂
Just say’n!

The Perect Art of Homecoming —- Tuesday, October 10, 2023
Friday night, September 6th was Delta’s Homecoming.
Senior Royalty
Senior Attendent
Terry and the beautiful Junior
Sophmore
Freshman
And because the school wanted a wee car show—Janet brought her car
And Sam came with his roadster. (I got to ride back in the roadster instead of walking the football field several times taking photos–which was neat!)
A Delightful bit of fun for everyone!

Holding Your Breath — Monday, October 9, 2023
There are still a few farmers getting in onions, and pinto beans….maybe some who have a fourth cutting of hay drying on the ground. (We never go for a fourth, but let the plants have as much growth as possible to go into the winter.)
But for us and many, many others we are in that spot of time waiting for the corn to dry down.

Sing a Song of Fall — Sunday, October 8, 2023
Who could not love this time of year?
The color of Gold fills our eyes and our hearts
Everything is busy, busy, busy preparing for winter.
The joy of Autumn is everywhere!
From my world to your heart,
