God(s) is Everywhere — Tuesday, September 19, 2023

 

God’s voice whispers to us constantly

In the rain

In a curtain of dusk.

Constantly.

We just need to listen!

From my world to your heart!

Let’s See Now—Hummm—Monday, September 18, 2023

Hum

Too bad Mom can’t smell what I smell

We have a squirrel!

Maybe he…yes it is a he, is

Over here.  He comes out of the wood pile

I’ll just wait here.  Maybe I will get to see (chase) the squirrel

Well, that was boring.  No squirrel.  Although, I could smell him.

So disappointing.

Damage—-Sunday, September 17, 2023

Goodness, this month seems to be flying by.

Anyway, I wanted to show what those pesty deer do to the corn—

Yep!  They eat the silks off and the tip of the corn.  It’s so yummy for the deer’s tummy.

Ruins the corn…it won’t continue to develop. Sigh

And those delightfully cute, but so damaging raccoons and

Skunks—

They like to tear the stalks down and THEN eat the corn!

Critters.  Gotta love ’em, but sure don’t like some of their dining habits.

A few friends met us for a two-hour drive to Marble, Colorado.  (Yes we went again)

Traveling through one of the last coal mines in our part of the world.

Onto yummy food and friendship, and a

Visit to the Marble Museum.

A heart-happy time,

Third and Last Cutting of Hay — Tuesday, September 12, 2023

We made it!  Third cutting of hay—-3,000 plus bales counting first and second and third cutting.

(This is just one stack)

After first cutting Terry and I were exhausted and unbearably tired.  But we had no choice but to keep on keeping on.

We finally made it here.

Now to sell this and be done for the haying year 2023!

Summer is Gradually Going Away — Monday, September 11, 2023

We are still irrigating the corn…

(early photo showing the ripening of the corn)

it is slowly starting to dent.  See the little lines in the kernels, that is the dent.

Once completely dented, the shucks will dry out. (Earlier photo of the shucks being dry)

So, until the corn is all dented and the shucks show dry, we keep the water flowing.

Soon, though, soon.  We will be done with the irrigation of the corn for the year.

That Ragged Line Between Time —- Sunday, September 10, 2023

The migrations are in full swing now

Our days turning golden

The nights are much, much cooler

Autumn, like Spring is a seam

Summer, stitching to Fall, Fall to winter

Winter to Spring.

The great circle of seasons balanced and sewed together.

Delightfully Wonderful and Much Needed Fun — Wednesday, September 6, 2023

Sunday was such a beautiful day…we thought “Let’s not work!”

So—-we loaded ourselves up and headed up to Marble—a two-hour trip from our house.

We headed to the most popular place in town to eat—-stood in line for a short time (about 15 minutes)

Sat down to a very tasty lunch of pulled pork and sides.

After which we drove around looking at things; making it home at 4:00 P.M., with huge smiles on our faces.

A lovely break in between the work!
