A wee phone photo of the Moon and Juniper…take a few nights ago.
Giving us vivid, though a tad fractured because of my phone, glimpse of space where neither time nor our crazy worried thoughts matter.

Our world is now all green and growing
The trees are speaking to us and to each other, while they wake up putting out new shiny leaves.
Gifts are everywhere, beckoning us to stop and look and listen
Once more I was gifted with a lovely heart-in-the-making rock—lying there scattered at my feet.
A gift given to me through no action of my own, but to look down, and be grateful for this beautiful free largesse.
I feel so humble and joyful all at once.

When I was getting ready to pick up a set of siphon tubes to start some water in the rows I saw
A Heart rock! Waiting just for me!
WHAT A GIFT!
Thank you, Mother Earth! Thank you!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
I wonder if the earth is really Eden. I can’t imagine a more perfect beautiful, wonderful place than Earth.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
First I dug all the siphon tubes out the ditches, while Terry marked out the fields
Then I started placing them in the exact spot where they will spend the rest of the farming season.
Then we
Began!
Water in the furrows!
YAY!

Here is my project after I scaped all the old paint off
Now I am done! All the peaks and the windows and the door. A new door is going in on the other side (someday)
DONE!!!

We’ve been helping Mom and Dad make cement for the incoming ditches
It was a gradual process because Mom and Dad stirred up the cement themselves
They worked on it for a long, long time
TLC waited in the weeds…Me I moved all around looking and smelling. It was great fun!
We helped and we rested and we helped —whatever Mom and Dad did we were involved!
DONE!
We just wait for it to cure, Dad says.
Mom says we are great helpers!

CLOUD IRIDENSCENCE!
Cloud iridescence is the occurrence of colors in a cloud similar to those seen in oil films on puddles, located in the general vicinity of the sun or moon. It is a fairly common phenomenon, most often observed in altocumulus, cirrocumulus, lenticular clouds, and cirrus clouds.
WOW! So exciting to know (and to actually see)! I’m on the lookout for it now.
Maybe you can see some in your part of the world also!

I love shadows!
But you know that about me already.
They are so deep and cool and mysterious.
They offer shade for the weary
And beauty (with a squirrel) for the soul!
