The Turn Has Occurred—Wednesday, September 18, 2024

After a big dust-blowing wind

Storm clouds rolled in with sprinkles of water now and again.

But, the big news

It isn’t the rain or wind but the turndown of the heat and the uptick of the cooler (much) weather.

We thought—-one more ride with the top down!

For Just a Few Minutes, On a Precious Fall Day — Thursday, October 26, 2023

Because the air and the light is changing—-it’s more than possible to feel it now

You can feel it in the wind, the pressure of the very sky; hear it with the insects, see it in the patterns of light and shadows—–

We decided to go for a wee ride and be one with a precious beautiful fall day!

Things that Fly—-Thursday, October 1, 2020

Honey Bee

Those are bugs flying in the air.Β  All types and varieties

Sparrow in flight

The Barn Swallows left us in one huge swirling swoop

These just think they can fly.Β  πŸ™‚

To have one of these fly up in front of you is to startle you greatly (pheasant)

Not a feathered type of flying, but one that flies, never-the-less

And, yes, this really does fly!

ZOOM!

That Delightful Time of Year—-Monday, September 30, 2019

(From Pinterest)

Friday night was Delta High Schools Homecoming Game

(they won).

And, most delightfully for us, Terry was asked to bring the corvette down for the parading of the royalty during half-time of the game.

Another special thing, was a very good friend of ours’ son, was the Homecoming King.

What an honor for us, to be asked to drive around the 2019-2010 King and Queen —what a privilege to be there.

It’s Not All Work —Sunday, August 11, 2019

The back porch, which is really part of my kitchen is coming along nicely.Β  The new floor is laid, the walls painted, the trim painted and I got the door washed down.

Since this turned out so well, I’m going to start on the bathroom soon.Β  Maybe next week.

Maybe.

Because we finished and everything looked so nice,Β  Terry said, “Let’s go for a ride!”

Heck, why not!

We went to Ouray, Colorado for a ‘spin’ stopping on the way back to get a photo of a huge herd of elk.Β  There were around 30 head grazing in someone pasture, I only got a small portion of them in the photo.

Then another day this week, we got a phone call from some good friends, who were broke down on the Uncompahgre Plateau.

Off we went to help them.Β  The day was exceptionally warm (well, some people would say BLAZING HOT, but I say exceptionally warm πŸ™‚Β  ).Β  Β Still stunningly beautiful.

The heady scent of sun-warmed rocks, the smell of tree needles, and the sounds of insects beating a perfect rhyme to the plateaus heartbeat—perfect.Β  We got them down and the repair on the truck an easy fix.

It all turned out well.

Of course, I didn’t get enough paint so there was the quick run to the hardware store and back again.

Then in the evening, as the day starts winding down, so do I and so does Terry.

We sit outside watching the afternoon sun fade and enjoying the heady scent of flowers sliding deliciously over the farm.

I truly must say: Life is Good!

From my world to your heart,

Linda
