Dancing, Dancing, Dancing in the Sunlight —- Wednesday, November 24, 2021

The dance of food/life

The sun and jet…streaming in the shivering air

Lawerance of Arabia, Tonto’s replacement…dancing, dancing for all the girls

The Quail rising into the sky

Moonlight; adding beauty to the earth, air, the heavens

A rather thin little pheasant—dashing, dashing, dashing away.

And my miss at getting a nice photo of a Flicker.

Each and everything dancing in my soul.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

A Shaft of Sunlight — Monday, November 22, 2021

Connie from FarSide of Fifty 

Beamed an amazing gift of hard work and beauty into my life.

She sent me a handmade card, a lovely spot of color for my neck, and a most dear little gnome she and Gene created.  Gene did all the wood carving and Connie painted this delicate little creature.

What a delightful gift of happiness the mailman delivered to us!

Thank you so much, Connie and Gene!

The Large and Vibrant Whispers

Winter’s Warmth — Thursday, November 18, 2021

We spent the afternoon listening to the psalm of the wood splitter

Making a pile of split wood from the ‘way too big to get into the firebox logs’.

We just do a few.  I sort and stack as I haul in the just-right size of logs, then when the big log pile gets too big. Outcomes the wood splitter.

Helping us stay warm and toasty throughout the heart of winter.

As the Moon Rose in the Sky — The Sun Started to Set — Wednesday, November 17, 2021

Sometimes it happens, the Moon and the Sun arrive at the same point

At opposite ends of the heavens

When that happens we are more than blessed

For the air turns pink, a rose, orange and yellow

But mostly rose and pink

It is a wonderous experience to walk in the light.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Huddled Down for the Winter — Tuesday, November 16, 2021

As I was picking up the orange dams, I came across a whole pile of

Wooly worms, all curved up, in a deep sleep

I gathered each one up and walked them over to a pile of wood boards we use off and on in the canals and ditches

There I placed them, one-by-one to sleep away the dark Winter.

As the Days Grow Shorter and Shorter — Monday, November 15, 2021

A wee walk-about on the farm

Saw a very busy hawk searching, searching

For something to fill his/her tummy.
