The wind is terrible here—
Has been for days and days and days
Wind– like this wind from last year!
And the heat is hard and miserable (although, Mom rather likes it—Mom is silly)
So, Boo and I are staying inside. Where it’s NOT windy!

A Huge Big Magical Event (for me)
Is the setting of the sun
Always!
From one day to the next, and the next, and then the day following.
Magic–the bright yellow light of the setting Summer sun!
From my world to your heart,
Linda

Thank you for sharing your beautiful yard and that wonderful rainbow, Randy!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,

Yes, I know—the Dance of Life is terrible in so many ways
Yet, at the same time, I can’t help myself admiring those huge birds of prey
Hawks, so beautiful, As they circle, circle, looking for a meal.
No different than anyone of us, ever.
From my world to your heart,

Mom and I were out doing the chores—which means, helping Dad
Change the water.
Suddenly Mom looked down and said: “WOW! LOOK, Boo Berry! The earth has given us
A heart!
Mom and I did a little dance!
Boo Berry Betty!
In just one day, the week of storms we were surrounded by
Starting blowing away
Bringing in soft fluffy clouds and fresh and gentle earth.

All Alfalfa—1,000 bales give or take.
Two more fields to go.
Rain, rain go away.
I am thankful you care about our area but go around us, please.

Sweet little spirits
With wings transparent in the sunlight
Brightening the morning, the day, and the evening with songs and chatter everywhere
Glorious spots of color
Brightening the shadows.
What a huge gift Summer birds are to the eye, the heart, and the soul.
