It’s been raining here,
Little showers of delight
Our air, ground, and souls cooling way down
Making a person think it might be Autumn
It makes me feel like Fall
Time racing forward
That summer will be over (too) fast.
Moments racing ahead…
The rain is nice, it’s actually making puddles
Still…over there — just beyond
Is Fall…
Autumn
The cool down, just before
Ah, well…until then
Our days go Quietly forward…

So…just what does a farmer do for fun
You load up your Classic Tractor
And you go to a tractor pull; whereby,
He did very well; pulling 76% of his tractor’s weight!

I still have not seen Mindy
I will keep looking and calling
Watching for her in the special places she loved
My heart whispers to her
I send prayers to the Heavens asking to know; for
Peace to fill my soul, if she has passed over the Rainbow Bridge
Or to somehow understand
If she is just hiding from me
Has she developed kitty dementia?
Has she had a kitty heart attack and died somewhere
and been carried off by a predator?
My voice calls, my heart whispers, and my soul cries.
Sigh,
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
Linda
I can’t find Mindy
She is missing.
She didn’t come in several nights ago for her “Mindy Time”
I can’t find her anywhere.
I’ve called, I walked the place looking for her
I put out a game camera
Trying to see if she shows up in any photos
I got this one on the 16th.
Then I moved the camera to here and got this one
But I’m not really sure it’s her. We have a stray black cat that has shown up in the yard and it may be it.
Mindy Lou-Sue I miss you.
I hope you are alright
My heart is brimming with sadness.
The farmyard is silent in a sad and empty sort of way
I miss your wee little gifts
I miss you.
I wish I knew where you are, or what has happened to you.
I miss you, Mindy Lou-Sue, My Min-Min.
From my heart to your heart,
Linda
“The voyage of discovery consists not of seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.”–Marcel Proust
I have a snake (water snake) who lives in the hen house with the hens. Randomly we (snake and I) scare each other.
Why would you tolerate a snake in the hen house, you ask?
This is why.
Snakes love to eat mice!
Way to go, Snake!

There in the air
So heavy
One would think it could never fly
Yet there it is…flying high in the sky
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
Linda
Before the rain
That thing called WIND
stirred everything up
Spread the top of the soil
Here and there
And
Everywhere!
After the rain…the ending of a RAINBOW!!!
YAY!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
Linda
Hello!
A wee, but perfect, little snack bar
OH! Sharing with a Robin
Here, try this little bit I plucked out of the tray just for you—something light, bright, and oh, so sweet. 🙂
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The corn is tasselling
The baby ears are forming
Summer, laughing softly, as time slowly slips toward Fall.
The song of Corn,
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Another thing you need to pay attention to is the BIG, LOUD, STUFF!
Like the tractors
Corn choppers
Hay Swather
The baler
Old trucks
Mom and Dad’s four-wheelers,
The pick-ups
Mom’s Car
The Lawnmower,
All those things can KILL you! Smash you flatter than a smashed miller.
When you hear one start-up or
one coming into the farmyard
RUN!
Your life depends on it!
