Putting the Farm to Bed —- Sunday, November 14, 2021

While Terry worked on servicing the combine

I took myself out to the farm and started picking up all the siphon tubes

Covering the culverts so no little animal could winter over then drown come Spring

And gathering the orange dams to haul into the barn

Gradually, I made it

The weather was fine and dry, the air cool; still I worked up a sweat.

Gradually, I got to last (and largest) of the alfalfa field when Terry arrived and helped me wrap everything up.

Harvest is nearing.

So exciting!

The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Leaves, Friday, November 12, 2021

The leaves fell off the big tree in the yard

And I loved it

I ran and jumped and had a blast in the yard

Then Mom came along and took all the leaves away

Bummer.

But I do like the grass, I like to lay in it and roll around

So, I guess it all works out!

Terry has been checking the corn…we are getting close now

15%.  Maybe next week we can start.

The Elevator only takes it at 14% or below.

Keep your fingers crossed!

Magic Whispers on the Land — Tuesday, November 9, 2021

Magic to me is the ordinary to others

The familiar, but marvelous all wrapped up as one.

To me, it is that sweet quick whisper of seeing one of those little creatures who share the farm with us.

Water—The Voice of the Land, Monday, November 8, 2021

It’s that time of year (again) when all the canals are turned off

Allowing the reservoirs and lakes to start filling again

It’s a lovely but (for me) a tad sad

For that means winter is looming

Still, I gather at the fences and allow the joyful tinkling of the life-giving water

Lifting  the energy of my mind,

my spirit and soul.

A marvelous sensation, akin to the beating of God(s) heart!

The Land Speaks with Many Voices — Sunday, November 7, 2021

We are in the waning days of Autumn now,

Beautiful days full of Loud Joyful Expressions

Compared to the soft kind pronouncements of Spring

Each day the music of Fall sings to me;

Filling our dreams with songs of falling leaves

The voice of the God(s)

Gifting us with beautifully adorned trinkets of colors and lights

The daily small treasures of Autumn.

From my heart to your world,

Linda

 

Life at Eleven Months Old—Chapter Five, I Am Not a Fan of Rain Days, November 5, 2021

It rained.

Sure, did put a crimp in my style.

I tried to go out and cruise around the farm

But it was just too wet.

You have to know if it’s raining: I get wet

If it’s raining the weeds get wet

So, I get even wetter!

I have a hard time being inside. I go STIR CRAZY.  That’s what Mom says.

When I’m stirring crazy, I climb the drapes and sharped my claws on the furniture, and I run as fast as my legs will carry me all over the house.

In a frenzy.

So, Mom, says…” Okay, TLC Cai-Cai, you can go outside, but it IS wet.”

Mom opens the door and I Dash out.  Wet or not I’m going OUTSIDE!

Just so you know…I have figured out a place to stay if it is too WET….

I stay in the hen house, while the hens go out and scratch around in their pen.

Works for me.

And sometimes I can catch a mouse in there.

When the World is Full of All Things Possible — Thursday, November 4, 2021

Just before the sun comes up

When the sky is grey and the earth still black

Or when a lovely, wet grey cloud sits down on the land

I can feel the God(s) at work, walking among us

Then as the sun starts arriving–the magic grows stronger and stronger

The first shafts of light trim the horizon; the very air starts singing with the ancient songs of Earth, Wind, and Sky.

My heart, my mind, my soul lifts my personal melody of joy blending into the tingling vibrations surrounding everything.

From my heart to your world,

Linda
