We are busy! Just say’n.

We took some time off and drove up the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, always a special treat for Terry and I
While there, enjoying the river running through the canyon (this is where we get our irrigation water) I looked up to see the moon shining down on us in the daytime.
What a magical gift!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Always grateful.
For sunlight gives to us the beauty of our land
In such a way
Not only our hearts can feel the gift
The sunlight becomes tactile filling our souls and our consciousness.
From my Heart to your Heart,
Linda
When Terry’s Dad passed, Terry’s Mother gave to our youngest daughter, Jack’s pick-up. Misty loved her Grandpa very much and felt more than honored to be given this very visible reminder of her Grandfather.
Misty and Kelly drove this old pick-up for several years, gradually moving to different pickups over time, but always keeping this special reminder of Jack and the very generous gift of the pick-up from Marjorie.
Last month, Misty and Kelly gifted this classic GMC to their oldest daughter, who LOVES the pick-up and wanted it for her own.
Since the truck had been living here, Terry got it all aired up, greased up, oiled up, spruced up; ready for its new life.
Sunday, around 4:00 in the afternoon, the GMC went to its new home. Ready to drive around with a cute blonde wearing a cowgirl hat. 🙂

The dappled light as we head out to change the water
The early morning sunlight casting purple shadows on the land
Reflections speaking loudly of our daily work on the land
T’Ata coming to help
While Glory stands sentinel on the Rocky Point
The day, always generous with gifts
Hidden just so
But still there, whispering, for us to see–
Look.
Please, there are gossamer threads of beauty everywhere.
From my heart to you, My Friends,
Linda
Coming in from the early morning irrigation…it was like looking into a dream–
A light summer rain moving away from us, fingers of light splashing across the fields, stroking the Uncompahgre Plateau…the air thick with ozone, the sky it’s very own arch of prism light.
Bird song filling the air, drowning out everything, but my pulse.
The earth, the sky, plants and water surrounding me — touching me gently.
How blessed I am!
From my world to your heart!
Linda
Early, early Sunday morning we received a phone call from a friend asking us to come fly with him.
Not being people who could turn down and invitation of such wonderful magnitude… we were off!
There (just above the wing tip), was Confluence Lake, in our small town of Delta, Colorado. You can also see the Gunnison River flowing toward Grand Junction, Colorado, and two large fields of sunflowers on the top of lower California Mesa.
We flew above the North Fork Delta County, and then he took us over Grand Mesa.
As time went on we traveled over the Book Cliffs (where wild horses roam) just above the city of Grand Junction, Colorado.
Then over the rugged and beautiful Uncompahgre Plateau (Un-come-pah-gray, with the accent on the pah)
The smoke from all the fires made the air a little hazy, but suddenly we were flying over our farm.
What a joy! What an amazing adventure and a delightful gift!
Sunday in the air!
