The Gift of Every Day —- Sunday, October 2, 2022

“Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance”–Oprah Winfrey

Every day is a fairy tale

Sometimes I forget that—-so caught up in work, and routine, and ‘getting stuff done’

The bird migration is in full swing now https://dashboard.birdcast.info/region/US-CO-029

A resounding flapping of wings all through the night.

Although, one we can not truly hear or see

All the creatures large and tiny humming along

in preparation for (shudder) winter.

The sky’s colors are changing, the light different clearer, brighter

The shadows spread and dance, instead of laying heavy on the ground.

All around us is a frenzy of preparation–

Even Terry and I.

The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai and Boo Berry —SCATTER— Chapter 10, Friday, September 30, 2022

I was out and about just enjoying myself

Doing this and that

The dog, our dog—Boo Berry Betty—had come out

Then had gone back in.

I was getting a tad bored

 

So, I headed to the dirt pile

This is a big pile of dirt Dad keeps for

Repairing the roads, and ditch banks

And stuff like that

So anyway, Out I went

It was warm and sunny

I decided Mouse would taste good

Right about now.

When

SUDDENLY I SAW

DANGER

The only thing left for me to do

WAS


SCATTER!

The third cutting is accomplished.  All three fields are now “down” drying.

Depending on the weather, the next step will be baling and hauling it in and getting it sold. (Although, some of it is already sold!  🙂  Thankfully)

Our car club, the Delta Street Rodders took a fun cruise to Silverton, Colorado.

Jim and Dianna Muller lead the way 🙂

We had eight fancy collectible cars (and one truck)

Gary and Connie with their 1948 Willis Overland Jeepster

We took a wee road break just outside of Ouray, Colorado as we started up the Million Dollar highway

The Colors were OUTSTANDING!!!

Food at the Thee Pitts Again was YUMMY! 

The train had come in when we got there

What a fun job for people living close to the station

in Durango!

We ate, shopped,

and did all the tourist stuff 🙂

Then it was time to head home.

(This is Christ of the Mines in Silverton, Colorado) 

It was a perfectly wonderful day!

Can Anyone Tell What This Is?— Tuesday, September 27, 2022

Something was causing the outside light to come on, several times a night.

Thinking it was probably a stray cat, or raccoon, or even those nasty coyotes I

put a game camera out by the outside light

I’m thinking this might be a porcupine.  Although, possibly a large rabbit—-bear? (tee hee), mountain lion, Wolverine? ( 🙂 ) or?  🙂

What do you think?

And it Rained and Rained and Rained—Sunday, September 25, 2022

A regular feast of moisture

The only sound for a long long time is the whisper plop

Of raindrops

We were so desperate here for rain—this has been a true blessing.

Bliss!

“COMPANY! I yelled, TLC COMPANY!”

“Who?” TLC Cai- Cai asked as he lazily walked toward me.

“Loki,

Black Beauty,

and Kia!”

“Oh, I like Black Beauty”

TLC Cai Cai exclaimed!

“I don’t think I like ANYONE!

If Mom stays,

I will be okay— I can handle the company.

OTHERWISE, I AM GOING TO


SCATTER!”

Bees and I Hanging in the Blue — Thursday, September 22, 2022

The only sounds in the garden are the buzzing of the winged ones

and the chirping of the birds as they migrate through

and there under this beautiful Heavenly Blue Morning Glory

A heartbeat from the earth.

Peace.  What a marvelous thing it is.

Oddly Silent —- Tuesday, September 20, 2022

This is the time of year when the earth is warmer than the air

When a lovely foggy mist rises up from the land

Surrounding us in silent glory

The whole earth is blessed in this single moment of silence.
