A Point of Near Magic — Sunday, July 24. 2022

 

Beauty that remains in one’s mind

Long after the experience occurs.

Glittering, muli-encrusted beauty of a very wild kind.

I have something for you!

Oh.  One more gift for Mom or Dad

Yep.

That’s Me.  A good protector of the farm,

Time Like Sand Slipping, Slipping —-Thursday, July 21, 2022

Sometimes,

Sometimes, I feel

Like there is just too (TOO) much to do

Each day is so FULL of things that must be done

That the little pieces of ‘organization’ have to sit and wait

Flying, flying, faster and faster

From the start to the end of each day.

In an Air of Emptiness —Wednesday, July 20, 2022

In a scene with out human presence

Within the sunlight

And the shadows

There is more happening

That the human mind

Knows about

Or can even understand

Incredulous, wonderful, happenings

Which makes up our world

The Blessing of Being and Old Woman — Tuesday, July 19, 2022

You finally grow to a point

Where you stop worrying about what other people think of you

And you can still remember what

It is like to be young,

And, finally, by this time

You realize there is beauty in storms

That sunshine is a gift, along with everything else in each and every moment of your day

If you are patient everything passes

But for a short length of time,

There is always a gift in a storm or otherwise.

From my heart to your world,

Linda

 

Just a Few More Acres —- Monday, July 18, 2022

By the light of that Marvelous moon

And in the blessing of our brilliant sun

With the addition of water

The new field of alfalfa is growing bigger and stronger each and every day!

Ahh, the marvelous, joyful, time called Summer!

Not So Long Ago—-Sunday, July 17, 2022

The Corn was waist-high to me and hip-high to everyone else

Soon it will start shooting tassels! 🙂

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty on Friday—- No More Puppies, July 15, 2022

I had to go to the vet—what an adventure!

I don’t know why.  Mom said it was important.

Now I have to wear this thing for two weeks!

Mom said no more puppies for me.

EVER!
