The Best Part of One’s Life —- Wednesday, September 23, 2026

(Stolen from the internet)

I think about that sometimes- happiness is hard…sometimes.  You have to train yourself to see happiness, to experience happiness.  To KNOW happy.

Since it’s a little on the hard side (just right now), I don’t walk as far as I used to with Boo Berry, but I do walk out to experience the farm, the sky, and those beautiful floating clouds—the diamonds of the daytime.

We are in September (as you know); actually, the first Day of Autumn has occurred.  So therefore, we are at that point where summer and fall like to see which one gets to HAVE the day.

I’ve taken to feeding the squirrels and ground birds closer to the farmyard.  Up by the Cross-over pipe.  Not too far to walk, but far enough.

Then Linkin sent me a heart! A heart in a tree somewhere around Anchorage.

Wonderful!

Just looking for little nameless acts of love to share with someone you care about is sending a song of you.  A note of joy, belief in happiness, a belief that your song is a gift unto itself.

I pray every blessing will be yours in the coming days,

Linda

Marshmallows in the Sky — Sunday, September 13, 2026

The land was beautiful yesterday—- the deep green of the alfalfa, the blue, blue of the sky, and those wonderful, amazing clouds!!

They were fast-moving, changing from dots of cotton (or marshmallows) into a big dark cloud.

The day was exciting in its peace—and the songs of birds everywhere.

Joyful sights and sounds of being alive!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

I’ve Been Thinking — Wednesday, September 17, 2025

I’ve been thinking about getting old(er)

And still flourishing—how to keep on keeping on, as it may

I think it comes down to just a few things:  thrive by creating joy.  Really, I know I seem to harp on this, but I can’t express it enough.

Events promote happiness, but joy comes from your soul.

Move!  Get up and ‘do’ something that brings happiness to your core.

Then look for glimmers to fill your thoughts instead of negative, beating yourself up, thoughts.  Replace those horrid things with Glimmers.  Once you have the glimmer, tell the negative thought to banish from your mind, evermore.

Then quiet your mind and observe your world.  No matter where you live, country, city, suburb–on a riverboat…it doesn’t matter.

There are gifts everywhere, and these gifts can change your life to one of beauty and joy.

From my heart to your world,

Linda

 

I Wonder, Wednesday, October 18, 2023

I wonder what it would be like to be inside a cloud

Or even like riding on a cloud—–like Elijah (Elijah the Peacemaker - A Still Small Voice)

Is it pleasant, with a diffused light, or exciting and vibrant like we see from Earth?

Ah! Yes!  I do wonder.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

 

 

A Shinning Simplicity — Tuesday, March 21, 2023

The sun has been seen so rarely all this late fall, winter, and now early spring

That when we do have it we are over-wrought with

Immense joy.

I would like to hang onto the joy of the sun.  Instead, we have the diaphanous sheen of pearly grey.

Sigh.

The Beauty in the Sky — Wednesday, December 7, 2022

The graceful (thick with moisture) clouds

Moving quickly together in rather jubilant rays of the setting sun

Gave way to a beautiful cloud-covered moon

Complete with a sparkling ring of moisture

The moon sharply swallowed by the clouds.

The quietness of the night came down softly, inviting all to drowsiness.

The End—Wednesday, May 25, 2022

I was looking at clouds, as we changed water one day —this cloud looks like it had a definite end; as at the end of a funnel

Then the End of the day colored this set of clouds

In a most glorious way

The End of the day’s sunlight!

The South End of our farm is called the Upper End an end of the farm, on the Southside.

The Last Set of the day—a type of end to our work 🙂

The End, just before the rest, after, which, comes the Beginning!

The Why of Why I Love Summer — Wednesday, June 9, 2021

There is just so much to see!  The Dust twirling in the desert

Little songbirds making nests in security cameras 🙂

Being out on the shimmering ditch banks —yes I do enjoy irrigating

The sky….oh, yes I already told you that :)…

The world is full of color

I think that is what I love the most…COLOR!

Color everywhere (and warmth) and sun and well, just everything!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

After the Storm Tossed Sky — Thursday, May 20, 2021

We received no rain.

Clouds within clouds 🙂

Although, the sky was full of rain clouds and rain.

The rain that fell dried up before it could reach us.

We are that dry here.

Sometimes it happens that way.

The wind brings in a huge bundle of clouds,

Full of moisture.

You can even see the

rain chutes making their way to the earth.

Possibly even feel a drop or two on your skin

But that is all.

Still, the sky, the very air we breathe, even the plants on the earth

Feel refreshed in the dawn-touched world.

The Sky, Appearing Different throughout the Day — Monday, February, 1, 2021

There, just over-head…

Those marvelous pieces of vapor

Breaking up the melancholy feel

Of a bleak winter’s day.

Clouds…just a joyous as a sky full of birds!
