The bees swarmed. Leaving behind those old friends, [who wished to stay]: taking the most loved Queen.
It was time.
“Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life—and they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.”–Dean Koontz, Bestselling author

Quietly stop wherever you are and listen
To the sounds of the earth
Falling sleep.
Gradually, gradually the birds, the animals, the insects, the plants, and even the sky
Say Good Night!—as they drift off into the land of dreams.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
MOM! It’s cold outside. I don’t care that it’s green and warm looking it is still cold!
Well, let’s go in then and get you warm. 🙂
(We’ve been having a cold, cold front move through. It is very cold. I’m ready for it to warm back up — so is Boo Berry)
TLC loves it colder!
Mom and Boo Berry and TLC
Look carefully for they are quick and hard to see!
I just LOVE this time of year!

“You must never judge who God forgives and who he does not”.: Bless Me, Ultima, by Rudolfo Anaya
Hide little birds (by the barrels) there is a hawk in the air!
Ah, Red-Tailed Hawk you are stunningly beautiful
It’s so hard to see you kill—but you also, must eat.
Who am I to judge, who am I?
From my world to your heart,
Linda
I must admit
There are times when my thoughts
Are not as perky as they should be.
When a weight seems to weigh heavy
A nose-dive, to be sure.
But it never, ever fails…that when I’m in a funk…the earth gives to me a heart.
How can I stay in a dark place
When there are amazing gifts everywhere?
I am truly blessed! As you are too, all we have to do is look.
From my heart to your world,
Linda
Terry has the corn planted. He took two hayfields out of production — they have grown old.
And planted corn!
Now, the only thing left to plant is our new alfalfa field. Soon! Real soon, but not just yet.

There is nothing (to me) more lovely, than the heady, fragrance of Lilacs. They won’t last long, but as long as they do I am giving thanks for the joy they bring.
And guess what?!?!? I saw a rainbow….very faint! BUT still a rainbow.
FIRST of the Season!!
Time…it marches on always. Giving us fleeting gifts of such happiness;
the expanse of sky, our land, and the beautiful spirits of all!

I was busy just doing my thing—
When Mom Yelled—-
Come with me, Boo Berry—
Come on!!
Hurry! Hurry! We have a RAINBOW!!
The very first of the season!
Okay!
That is a good thing?
Yes! It is, Mom said. Bending down to pet me. Yes, it is!
I think anything that gets Mom petting me is a good thing. 🙂
Boo Berry Betty Brown
And you are still keep’n on!
Happy! Happy Birthday
You are impressive!
To be sure!
From our world to your heart,
Linda
