This is our canal, heading toward the Gunnison River, then onto the Colorado River—then to Lake Mead.
Flowing, flowing swiftly by.

Another Something Unusual — Monday, October 17, 2022
When out walking, Boo Berry and I,
I came across this strange footprint?!
Is it a footprint? Or were three rocks removed?
I wonder which.

I Delight in Shadows —- Sunday, October 16, 2022
Sometimes, while I do chores around the place,
Or am fixing food
I marvel at the beauty of all the shadows coloring our world.
Shadows so wonderful and deep, and heavy
I am sure you will marvel at them as I do.
Shadows and light
Moving across our day and into the night
The shadows of Autumn are different than the other seasons.
Shadows with a sky so clearly blue it sometimes hurts one’s eyes, the shadows seem even darker and more defined.
Shadows—that’s what I’ve been thinking of and wanting to share with you. Those wonderful deep dark shadows defining the ever-changing light.

The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai and Boo Berry —SCATTER— Chapter 12, Friday, October 14, 2022
“I want in—Don’t you TLC Cai-Cai?”
“Yeah.”
“I want in now!”
“Well, I think you are going to have to wait.” TLC Cai-Cai replied with all the wisdom of a cat.
“Why? Where is Mom? Where is Dad?”
“Let me look” TLC Cai-Cai responded. “Inside. Dad is inside.”
“I WANT IN NOW———HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
“Oh, hush! Mom is out here somewhere. Dad is inside. He doesn’t listen when you cry.”
BAM!
“WOW! What was THAT?!” Mom asked as she came around the corner with her wheelbarrow.
Suddenly Dad was at the back door.
“WHAT was THAT?” We all asked Dad.
“It sounded like a gun!” Mom exclaimed.
“It was—Dove season has begun. And our new neighbors are sighting in their guns.” Dad explained.
BAM!
“Oh, geez, Get in the house quick, Fur Kids…. guns and little animals don’t mix AT ALL!”
Mom opened the door.
You know the rest of the story—run inside and SCATTER to our favorite places to hide!

P.S. This is the end of SCATTER. Story Over. TLC Cai-Cai 😊
In the Hum of the Night — Thursday, October 13, 2022
That lovely, lovely full
October moon —filling the earth with its own delightful
Heartbeat.
Causing a unsettling feeling, a yearning of sorts
Pressing down …putting its silver weight on our shoulders causing our souls to stop and listen.
A beautiful experience — hard to explain, but wonderful to have it happen.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The Crush of Migration — Wednesday, October 12, 2022
Later on in the day, I noticed this little bird, tail down, eyes closed. At first, I thought it might be a hawk, but now I think it is just a tired bird resting.
You can click on the dashboard and see the amazing migration going on in your area.
Did you know that scientists have proven that birds can see
The Earth’s magnetic fields and this is how they migrate?!
Pretty neat, I do believe!

Grass Edged in Gold — Tuesday, October 11, 2022
As I stood watching the long grasses in the pasture (the Upper End)
The sun broke through the west’s low-lying clouds, lighting up a unique edge on a stem of grass!
Thank Heavens for cameras, otherwise, this beautiful experience would only be a memory.
From my world to your heart,
Linda

Jason, who delivered us all the wood,
Loves Cowboy Candy—hot sweet pickled peppers.
So — I made him a batch!

Mom and I!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHH!
That’s how I like it.
Mom and I.
Although, I do like The cat!
And I do like being
WITH MOM WHEN I AM OUTSIDE!
I don’t like outside
If Mom is Inside and
I am outside.
If something HUGE
shows up
TLC Cai-Cai
And
I
SCATTER!
