While Walking with the Two Fur Kids — Sunday, December 1, 2024
We were out walking—Boo Berry
TL and I.
When I turned onto the bridge and looked back at the one lagging behind
TLC. Just as the sun crested the cornfield and lit up our world.
Stunning. Really! Just stunning.

Seasons are Always so Vibrant —-Thursday, December 1, 2022
But, one thing I really enjoy the most
And it doesn’t matter what season it happens in
Is when we get fog! 🙂
Momma always told my brother and me, that fog was a cloud that sat down on the earth. What a joyful, and delightful thought it was when I first heard it, to even right now at my very elderly age!

Caught in a Wind Storm — Wednesday, December 1, 2021
We had a bit of a wind, the other day…a whipping you in the face wind
Not a gentle hum of rustling leaves wind
But a PICK everything UP and FLING it around party wind
A get dirt in your face, eyes, and ears — wind.
Sometimes winds are like that—over the top, flicking you with ‘stuff’.

Songs of Life Flicker Loud and Small, Sunday, December 1, 2019
I love feeding the birds
And watching the Canada Geese and the Sandhill Cranes creating their own gusting wind in the great blue of the sky!
If Boomer and I sit quietly then great flocks of birds come calling
Trying to rush us away so they also may peck and scratch at the tummy-warming black sunflower seeds
While out on the (now empty land) the other day, I saw a Sundog hanging silently in the sky.
It was still there, as the huge clouds built promising ‘weather’ when I came back from feeding the birds over by the equipment area.
Cold weather coming, the Sundogs say. I like to think of them as wee little rainbows before the bitter cold.

Out and About—-Thursday, December 1, 2016
Min-Min hunting for those tasty little morsels called MICE!
A raccoon making sure the isn’t something yummy in the trash can
Sammy sitting by the woodstove toasting his fur
And that lovable little beagle looking for things hidden in the grasses.
Out and about…always something to see and do!

THANKFULLY! —- Wednesday, December 1, 2015
Thankfully! My computer is fixed!!! And it wasn’t a huge fix or an expensive one, nor did I have to buy a new one! YAY!
We are frozen here! Although, we did have a wee melt today around three o’clock. I think we got up to 33*. Strange weather…more like January and February.
I also saw a small sundog on my morning walk. Colder weather coming toward us again, it seems.
Oh, well. my computer is back! Everything is right with the world again!
I’ve missed you!
Your very happy friend,
Linda
Once More–Cross your Fingers and Your Toes–Monday, December 1, 2014
Daily we check the corn…riding out on the four-wheelers to get samples from all the fields. Samples on the ends, samples in the middle…then THERE IT WAS…the moisture content said…”Give it a go!” So we did!
Down the rows he went
Opening the driest field
Filling the truck with red/gold corn
Because it was the Thanksgiving holiday and the Elevator was good enough to stop and let everyone have a break….we parked the truck under the car port
Where Monkey-the -cat spent lots of her time checking to see WHY the grain truck was close to the house and not out by the barn.
Silly cat!
Gradually the sun started to set filling our skies with a purple haze
It was stunningly beautiful,
Unusual and gorgeous all rolled into a swiftly darkening day
Terry left for the Elevator at 5 this morning…when he called he was 13th in line and more arriving. It’s 9:00 a.m. right now and he still isn’t home. He will be lucky to be here at noon.
Keep your fingers and toes crossed, send prayers and magic thoughts, please that this load passes and we are out-on-the-land until all the corn is in!
Your friend,
Linda
