Sunlight Poured through the Air—Wednesday, October 4, 3017

“Don’t believe in miracles—depend on them.”–Laurence J. Peter

It was warmer yesterday. A lovely touch of sunlight, soft breezes and sunlit farm light

(that is a Gambols Quail coming toward me.)

We are still having tiny little hummingbirds visiting the feeder.

Sometimes I see only one, some days none at all…

Then just before the big cold rain I saw six. My heart goes out to them, traveling so late in the year. I hope they make it somewhere warm soon.

Then while out on a wee walk with Boomer and Mindy the cat…I found

A heart! A perfect sort of magic!

From my world to your heart,

A Chill Autumn Day—Tuesday, September 22, 2017

Posted on October 3, 2017 by Dayphoto

It’s been raining again…all through the night Sunday and most of the day Monday. It’s cold enough we had to start up the wood stove; sure felt nice!

We still have one more field of pinto beans to get out…but it must dry first!

The weather people are saying the sunshine is due to come back today…warmer weather tomorrow, then by Thursday we will experience NICE fall weather.

Maybe by then we will be able to get the ‘rest of the beans’ out! 🙂

Linda Brown, my Rainbow Lady – isn’t this just beautiful?

Friday Day it Rained and Blew —- Sunday, October 1, 2017

Posted on October 1, 2017 by Dayphoto

Off and on all the day of Friday we had thick, soft, wet clouds in the sky,

Then an opening between storms would gift us with prisms of beauty, so wonderful they seemed to breathe in the autumn air

Then the storms would come again puddling on the earth leaving behind a leaden stillness,

and a sullen sky

Then once more in stunning splendor the sun would break forth and brighten the gloom

The parted clouds lighting the world.

Then that evening as the sunset

Built within the sunset

A sundog appeared! I stood marveling as the amazing sky sang with echoes of humming songs in color for all to see.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

A Very Scary Situation—Thursday, September 28, 2017

Posted on September 28, 2017 by Dayphoto

After that awful announcement of the Equifax Data Breach

I thought maybe I had better get my once a year credit reports.

Looking through them I saw in April 11, 15, 27, 29 2017 someone tried to open an account with Capital One!

Talk about scared!!!

I called LifeLock and reported this (I have LifeLock) and then called Capitol One

To make for a very long story, with lots of long, long minutes waiting on the phone line!

I’m happy to announce everything is okay today!

Now if there are those of you who wish to take Equifax up on their new offer…

The waits are terribly long, enough so your phone will actually click you off. And, you might not get through…I never did.

Anyway…moving forward,

Love,

Linda

Only from the Heart—Wednesday, September 27, 2017

Posted on September 27, 2017 by Dayphoto

“Only from the heart can you touch the sky”–Rumi

This is a song to summer, that time when music is all around us, bird songs, the growing of green things, butterfly wings, and hummingbirds humming in the crystal air

The deep excited feeling of lightness of walking on the earth with bare feet (and on the phone with a best friend 🙂 )

Gradually, over-time, the slow trickle of fall breaks into the movement of summer

Daily I give thanks for being able to follow this amazing dream

Of living, walking, working on the land, where the old gods still watch and wait.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Now There is Ease of Sleep—Tuesday, September 26, 2017

Posted on September 26, 2017 by Dayphoto

No longer does the repair of this tractor torment his mind and therefore his body

Finally the last necessary bolt was in place, the last hose hooked, the last screen cleaned….everything back to running order!

Worry, for this tractor, wisped away like a ghost on a windy day!

The Dreams of Summer Now Vanished—Monday, September 25, 2017

Posted on September 25, 2017 by Dayphoto

While we slept, the dreams of summer vanished along with all the summer stars

The weeds had been warning us…turning their summer green to colors suited only for Fall

Then in the pink and purple blaze of morning sunrise

The sunlight striking on the ground revealed Jack Frost arrived last night!

Rain and Cold Wind the Weather Has Turned—-Sunday, September 24, 2017

Posted on September 24, 2017 by Dayphoto

The weather has turned…the long days of wonderful warm (even hot) weather is now gone. Fled to other parts unknown.

The brilliant days of summer blurred through wind and rain into

True days of Fall. The light is different now…

The colors more diffused, although sometimes shinning brilliant

As though the heavens are breathing…taking in summer letting out Autumn

Fall is not an empty time…it the accumulation of the spring and summer…some of the corn is being turned into silage, the onions are being pulled waiting for drying weather then sacked and sold,
