A Shaft of Sunlight — Monday, November 22, 2021
Beamed an amazing gift of hard work and beauty into my life.
She sent me a handmade card, a lovely spot of color for my neck, and a most dear little gnome she and Gene created. Gene did all the wood carving and Connie painted this delicate little creature.
What a delightful gift of happiness the mailman delivered to us!
Thank you so much, Connie and Gene!

An Archangel Painted the Sky — Sunday, November 21, 2021
The Flames of mighty truths
The Large and Vibrant Whispers
Of an Arch Angel’s Glittering, and gossamer spell casting deep shadows on the land.

The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-HELP! It’s Scary Here, Friday, November 19, 2021
The field next to our long farm lane has a
HUGE! BIG! GREEN! MACHINE in it!
Totally and

I’m having a very hard time staying outside!

Winter’s Warmth — Thursday, November 18, 2021
We spent the afternoon listening to the psalm of the wood splitter
Making a pile of split wood from the ‘way too big to get into the firebox logs’.
We just do a few. I sort and stack as I haul in the just-right size of logs, then when the big log pile gets too big. Outcomes the wood splitter.
Helping us stay warm and toasty throughout the heart of winter.

As the Moon Rose in the Sky — The Sun Started to Set — Wednesday, November 17, 2021
Sometimes it happens, the Moon and the Sun arrive at the same point
At opposite ends of the heavens
When that happens we are more than blessed
For the air turns pink, a rose, orange and yellow
But mostly rose and pink
It is a wonderous experience to walk in the light.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Huddled Down for the Winter — Tuesday, November 16, 2021
As I was picking up the orange dams, I came across a whole pile of
Wooly worms, all curved up, in a deep sleep
I gathered each one up and walked them over to a pile of wood boards we use off and on in the canals and ditches
There I placed them, one-by-one to sleep away the dark Winter.

As the Days Grow Shorter and Shorter — Monday, November 15, 2021
A wee walk-about on the farm
Saw a very busy hawk searching, searching
For something to fill his/her tummy.

Putting the Farm to Bed —- Sunday, November 14, 2021
While Terry worked on servicing the combine
I took myself out to the farm and started picking up all the siphon tubes
Covering the culverts so no little animal could winter over then drown come Spring
And gathering the orange dams to haul into the barn
Gradually, I made it
The weather was fine and dry, the air cool; still I worked up a sweat.
Gradually, I got to last (and largest) of the alfalfa field when Terry arrived and helped me wrap everything up.
Harvest is nearing.
So exciting!

The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Leaves, Friday, November 12, 2021
The leaves fell off the big tree in the yard
And I loved it
I ran and jumped and had a blast in the yard
Then Mom came along and took all the leaves away
Bummer.
But I do like the grass, I like to lay in it and roll around
So, I guess it all works out!
