Are You Surprised?!—-Monday, February 19, 2024

I’m not.

(See all the crows flying around the field while Terry disc?)

Although, Terry says he is a bit surprised….he really wasn’t sure if he was going to farm this year.

I Have Come to Understand —- Thursday, February 15, 2024

Being outside—doing ‘stuff’ outside is as vital to me as getting a drink of water.

Yes!  I need to be outside, doing stuff.

I really do.

Turn UP Your Face, Open Your Eyes—-Monday, February 12, 2024

Often times I need to remind myself:  The world is full of songs,

Dancing

AND JOY!

All I have to do is

Look!

Birds!  They remind us always that each day is trembling with exciting possibilities!

We just have to meet the possibility with Excitement!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

What are you doing, TLC?

Waiting for Mom or Dad?

You wait, then, I’m going out to the chicken house and look at

BIRDS!

Oh!  Mom is here!  Hi, Mom!  Looking at birds are you?

SHHHHHHHHHH, Mom replied.

Okay.

There is Something so Magical about Shadows — Wednesday, February 7, 2024

I love how everything has a shadow!!

Shadows are a testament to each and all things upon the earth (and a gift from the sun)

They bring quiet and feelings of stillness

In scorching summer they offer a retreat from the heat

They also add to the song of each and every day

Shadows!

They make my heart sing with joy, gladness, and delight!

Crows—I Have a Love/Hate Sorta Thing With Them, Tuesday, February 6, 2024

I have to use photos from my archives—please forgive me.  They have been hard to photograph lately

There is something you can’t help but love about Crows

They are so incredibly bright—studies have shown they are as bright as a nine-year old child.

They do have some very scavenger habits–

That I really don’t care for: like trying to peck out the eyes of newborn calves, poaching baby birds from other nests to feed their own, and devouring exhausted songbirds on their way home.

Still, there are other marvelous things about them—they talk to each other, and to you (if you talk to them) and clean up those ‘dead’ things so the earth stays fresh and clean.

Besides, I think they are just darn right “purdy”!
