And the Night Closes In —Monday, May 20, 2024

As the night started closing in, the murmuring of the water and the flashing/setting sunlight illuminated the beauty all around.

Then home again we rode—the earth seeping darkness; lifting toward the sky and the sky blazing with glorious color.

The Beauty of Spring, — Sunday, May 19, 2024

There is such a magical beauty about this time of year

The stunning glory of the spread wings of the the Red-Winged Blackbirds

The chirping song of the Red-breasted Robins

Shadows starting to show leaves, instead of stark limbs

A little tiny slice of the moon; sending it’s light into the pulse of the earth

The sun shines through the clouds right into our souls.

The granules of sand, dust, and dirt gifting love to each one of us.

We are all so blessed, you and I.  So very blessed.

I Love Irrigating—-Yes, I Do, Thursday, May 16, 2024

I love seeing the water flowing down the ditch.  Into the siphon tubes.  Then onto the roots of the growing plants.

The sound of the water…moving, moving feeds my soul.

The Rhythm of the Season—Wednesday, May 15, 2024

In what we think of as silence—

The baby corn poked up through the soil

The grass softly developed swaying stems which will soon bloom

The alfalfa has grown to calf high—-

Reminding us always that growth is the rhythm of the earth’s blood.

And Then the Rains Came — Tuesday, May 14, 2024

Filling the air with lovely (but very cold) drops of rain, and huge wind; gifting all things.

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

(and no, the changing of irrigation doesn’t stop because it rained.  The rain only made the first 1/8″ of the soil wet.  BUT it did wash off all the plants and trees! 🙂 )
