Oh, the wonder of MARCH!

The snow did a big melt

The wind helped

And the warmer temperatures

TLC stayed outside the whole day through

I Stayed with Mom

Mom is my job

TLC says his job is the farm

We both say(See me in the window and TLC trying to get in?)

Yay! It’s March!

Mom says careful kids, March is trickyWe can still get lots of snowOr rainOr something.

For sure she says we will get

WIND!

We don’t care…

It’s March

And the ground is mostly dry!

Those Angelic Little Feathered Friends of Ours —- Monday, February 27, 2023

These are some of the tiny winter birds

Who spend their winter (here)

With us.

Often living with us year-round. 🙂

These little feathered friends have great a capacity for suffering through the cold 

And never complain!

Always, always they chirp and sing—

Adding tranquillity to our days

Their radiant joy always lends itself to our hearts

I always gift them with sweet-scented seeds

For, after all, they need to keep heat in their bodies

And a full tummy to go to bed on 🙂

They are a peaceful and

a joyful part of each and every day!

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Our Thoughts on Winter, Friday, February 24, 2023

The wind came. (see my ruffled fur)

And the slick ice

and the mud

And then another round of snow

Then more wind. (See the wind in our hair)

Mom says it’s the end of February and all this won’t last. She says it will probably be here until the middle of March, and it will just go away!

We sure hope mom is right.

The Earth Smells Cold (but Sweet) —- Thursday, February 23, 2023

We are melting—all the beautiful wonderful exciting to see icicles, have fallen

Sliding off the roof in large thudding sheets

Mud is starting to manifest and ICE!  Lots and lots of ice.

Although, the drifts are still thick and heavy in places

The shadows fling across the lawn; colored in blue.  Perfect for a cold winter’s day.

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

My Brother and My Very Beautiful Sister-in-Law —- Wednesday, February 22, 2023

Dan and Cloudy have several lakes on their property.  While out checking on everything they came across a heart—just for me.

WOW!

Thank you so much, Dan and Cloudy!

A perfect winter heart!

From my heart to your world,

Linda

Awash in Snow We Gradually (very gradually) Grow Warmer — Tuesday, February 21, 2023

The snow is so bright at night it is all the light we need

The world blanched into beautiful magical white

Then the glorious, incredibly wonderful SUN CAME OUT!

Causing exuberance dancing lights on all the snow

And lush blue shadows!

Incredible delight!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Gradually, Gradually, We Started to Warm Up—Monday, February 20, 2023

-5* the next morning after the storm finally stopped

A cold designed to create stillness

While we waited for the air to start warming again

Waiting for the snow drifts to start melting (at least a bit)

Waiting, wary, because melt

always means ice!

Good night my friends!

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda
