A Rainbow, a Apple Tree, a Gift to You and Me —- Thursday, May 4, 2023

Randy from Kennonsburg, Ohio, sent me this delightful rainbow and the blooming apple tree

“A Rainbow! After a thunderstorm a few minutes ago! The sun was shining during the thunderstorm. I got my camera and went outside after the rain and saw the rainbow.😀

We had a lot of rain Friday night It is to rain off and on until Wednesday and in the 30s at night until Thursday. I planted potatoes on April 8 and onion sets on April 26.”

Gosh, this is just lovely!  JUST LOVELY!

Thank you so much,

Your friend on a farm on the western slope of Colorado,

Linda

 

From Kate, An Amazingly Different Rainbow— Wednesday, May 3, 2023

Hello there!

Exif_JPEG_420

I saw this when I was walking doggo home from our walk this morning. It was a fine drizzle in the air, the sun was shining behind me, and right at the top of the hill, you could see this long bar of rainbow colours. It wasn’t really a rainBOW, it was more a straight line sitting down on the horizon. The violet was right down on the tops of the trees. It lasted just a few minutes and wasn’t very bright, but it was so deep and so unusual, I thought you might like it for your collection.
Kate
I do, Kate!   Thank you ever so much!
I am the luckiest person — I am gifted rainbows from everywhere and all around the world!

From my heart to your heart,
Linda

Looking for Hearts — Monday, May 1, 2023

I hold my eyes to the ground trying to move them in harmony with the soil and the rocks, and the bits of weeds and stuff

Searching with a wee prayer in my heart:  “If you are there little heart, show yourself to me. Please I beseech you!”

Then I calm my clamoring mind and wait for a heart to appear.

Sometimes it does —like this one last year.

Sometimes there is nothing.

Which is fine.  If I am to find a heart, and the heart is ready to be found.

It will appear.  🙂

It was a Saturday of delightful, different fun!

Best Friends for Ever More — Friday, April 28, 2023

We are best of friends

We like to do ‘stuff’ together.

I like to play—run and scare Boo

After TLC jumps on me we sorta run around and chase each other

I never see TLC coming

He is very good at scaring me

I’m really good at chasing TLC 🙂

I can run faster than Boo Berry 🙂

And Boo Berry is very focused on Mom —just say’n

Still, we do have lots of fun together.

Best Friends FOREVER!
TLC and Boo Berry

 

 

 

Look, MOM! —- Thursday, April 27, 2023

I’m standing by the big scary machine!

“Come here, Boo Berry!  Dad is going to go mark out one of the alfalfa fields!  Hurry! RUN!”

“Good Girl!” Mom reached down and petted me.

Off we went for a little walk-about.

Just Mom and Me!

Boo Berry Betty Brown ( 4 B’s 🙂  )

Someone said I need to learn to be a vegetarian.

You got to be kidding!
