Come let us not waste these closing moments of the day
Into the deepening twilight
Into that radiant pearly light, we go!

Chill but bright
It didn’t last long
Just for a few hours, last week, then we warmed up
Melting everything but what was in the shadows. 🙂
And then
Monday afternoon—
It came back again
with big wet flakes!
A Happy Valentines of a Day!

This is the lull before the ‘getting ready to farm’ work begins.
We are making lists and checking them —
fences to fix, pipes to lay, trees to cut down off the ditch banks, hauling dirt—the list grows. Just enough.
Then we begin. After which we get out on the land and start farming!
Just weeks away now.

Their beauty in the evening sky
Their voices, calling, calling through the cold and quivering air.
I am so grateful for the large winter birds. They help me pass the long winter time.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Guess what my favoritist thing to do is?
Go on a walk with MOM!
I don’t care where we go.
We can go—
Here
And THERE
And well—not where the horses are, they are scary.
We can go with Kya and Black Beauty and Shannon
We can go to the hen house
Or into the yard
I really don’t care.
Just so I’m with MOM!

It’s cold, no denying that!
It does warm up for a short while in the afternoon
Which truly helps.
Enough to take a walk, whistling all the while.
(I saw three Western Bluebirds yesterday—they are a bit early, but so welcome to see!
A sure sign —spring is beginning — well, at least thinking of thinking, to think about beginning 🙂 )

That mysterious sweetness
Of February’s Full Moon
Shinning eloquently
Over the farm—blessing us…all of us.
You and me and everyone.
From my heart to your world,
Linda
It is still winter here—although, we did have a mild Sunday
And wind.
But woke up to snow on Monday.
In three more weeks, it will be March! March is the start of spring for me!! 🙂
YAY!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

There—- right there
Painted in vivid gold
Was a golden ray of Sunshine breaking forth from the setting sun
From my world to your heart,
Linda
We split a huge pile of logs for the fireplace.
It was a good feeling that splitting was ALL we had to do!
YAY!
