You can see it in the sky, on the land, and with the deer!
The deer always arrive when the corn is in the silk. Not good, but a fact. They are very hard on the corn—eating only the silks, therefore, killing the cob.
They will stay on the farm now until early March.
(Along with them come the coyotes—nasty things. We will have them until the deer leave)

As the world turns to dusk, then the gloaming and on into the night
The light tells us it is still Summer— yellow for summer.
Remember tranquil purple whispers Winter
Lovely pink and rose for Spring
Come Autumn—soon…close to the time of Labor Day the light will change
To orange —- many shades of orange!
But for now–
There is a lemony glow to the light–thankfully it is still Summer!

A song our spirits sing to us
Beauty wrapped in the glorious sighting of a Fox in the morning.
The dreaming peace of the farm and farm yard.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The far-distant Grand Mesa with
With manifested beauty shining along its flat-top pinnacle. All due to the setting sun.
What magnificent gifts we are given…you and I.
From my world to your heart,

We have a cold front coming our way. That is what our sky says.
A beautiful western Colorado Sundog.

Sent to me at Christmas time!!! 🙂
This was taken at a park/forest preserve property where I will go to relax and watch trains go by.
Below is a rail car that went by this morning, which was rather interesting:
WOW! Thank you so much!
That is an amazing Sundog. We don’t get beauties like that here.
The train car is fun—so many talented people out there!
May 2023 be a wonderful year for you and your family!

At the end of the year, it is natural to look back
To search out those things we did well,
or those things we wish we could do over
Then we start to look forward—
As it is only natural to do.
For you in 2023— I wish for you:
The immensity of love from the Heavens
And the amplified love, from those of us who love you,
Will wash over you this coming year
So that each one of you is doubly blessed!
That is my hope, my prayer, and my wishes for you!

Yesterday was my Daddy’s birthday. He was born on January 1, 2026
The January he was ten, his father passed away from pneumonia.
It was a horrible– bitter– melancholy time.
His mother, Francis, re-married Charles Holder. I always knew her as Grandma Holder, although, our last name was Doyle.
By the time Daddy turned 16, the world was in a huge conflict, called WWII.
Just as Daddy turned seventeen Grandma signed so Daddy could ‘go to the Navy’
Of course, there are lots of pieces of Daddy’s story I am skipping. You do understand.
Here I am on my second Christmas —Momma, Me, and Daddy
Then by the time I was three along came Danny.
Daddy! Sometimes it feels like your shadow is close to me. Soaking into the earth and stones…touching my shoulders, putting your arm around me, filling the sky like a torch of light.
Yesterday you would have turned 97 if you were still in earthly form.
Instead, we lost you in 1999.
But still— sometimes, when I turn quickly or feel something brush my hair, I sense you are there.
Still a part of my life and my heart.
Love you, Daddy, always.
From my heart to your world,
Linda
The year is going fast, faster, fastest now.
Each day is getting closer to the end
Then we will begin again.
What a year it has been!
