Terry has been checking the corn…we are getting close now
15%. Maybe next week we can start.
The Elevator only takes it at 14% or below.
Keep your fingers crossed!

A weird cloud moved over the moon
As a thousand stars showered the Earth

Magic to me is the ordinary to others
The familiar, but marvelous all wrapped up as one.
To me, it is that sweet quick whisper of seeing one of those little creatures who share the farm with us.

It’s that time of year (again) when all the canals are turned off
Allowing the reservoirs and lakes to start filling again
It’s a lovely but (for me) a tad sad
For that means winter is looming
Still, I gather at the fences and allow the joyful tinkling of the life-giving water
Lifting the energy of my mind,
my spirit and soul.
A marvelous sensation, akin to the beating of God(s) heart!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

We are in the waning days of Autumn now,
Beautiful days full of Loud Joyful Expressions
Compared to the soft kind pronouncements of Spring
Each day the music of Fall sings to me;
Filling our dreams with songs of falling leaves
The voice of the God(s)
Gifting us with beautifully adorned trinkets of colors and lights
The daily small treasures of Autumn.
From my heart to your world,
Linda
It rained.
Sure, did put a crimp in my style.
I tried to go out and cruise around the farm
But it was just too wet.
You have to know if it’s raining: I get wet
If it’s raining the weeds get wet
So, I get even wetter!
I have a hard time being inside. I go STIR CRAZY. That’s what Mom says.
When I’m stirring crazy, I climb the drapes and sharped my claws on the furniture, and I run as fast as my legs will carry me all over the house.
In a frenzy.
So, Mom, says…” Okay, TLC Cai-Cai, you can go outside, but it IS wet.”
Mom opens the door and I Dash out. Wet or not I’m going OUTSIDE!
Just so you know…I have figured out a place to stay if it is too WET….
I stay in the hen house, while the hens go out and scratch around in their pen.
Works for me.
And sometimes I can catch a mouse in there.

Just before the sun comes up
When the sky is grey and the earth still black
Or when a lovely, wet grey cloud sits down on the land
I can feel the God(s) at work, walking among us
Then as the sun starts arriving–the magic grows stronger and stronger
The first shafts of light trim the horizon; the very air starts singing with the ancient songs of Earth, Wind, and Sky.
My heart, my mind, my soul lifts my personal melody of joy blending into the tingling vibrations surrounding everything.
From my heart to your world,
Linda
Although,
the tops of the corn look very battered from all the blustering
Sounds on the farm are muffled
Rain!
Beautiful.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Thank you, one and all, for being my blog readers!
I’ve been writing this tiny little blog since 2007. I have enjoyed every minute of it.
Getting to know you, reading and answering your comments, sharing just a little bit about farm life on our farm in the western part of Colorado.
I do appreciate you and Thank you.
From my heart to your heart,
Linda
Everywhere the color of Autumn wraps around us
The yellow, gold, and orange leaves rustle in the wind
The boughs swaying and creaking gently against each other
Murmuring whispers of Good Night, Sweet Dreams
The Owls hoot sleepily as they wake in the treetops,
Love You, Precious Ones…it’s time for rest now.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
