Boo Berry and I were walking along the canal bank when I came across these lovely cattails blowing in the wind.
It was such a delightful sight.

Go quietly, please, step softly outside
And experience with me— the Life Force of our Earth.
Stand still, empty your mind, and just feel.
It is there everywhere, in every plant, every creature, in the wind, the water,
Everywhere.
Please. I promise you, you won’t be sorry.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
The sky was full of warning…or at least full of the promise of snow
Gusts of wind plummeted clouds here and there and all around us
Then around three-thirty in the afternoon
Rare flakes started falling here
The sky quickly darkened
And the ground slightly filled with fun little flakes of wonder
It wasn’t a lot, but it was nice.
Then a wee rain came, turning all to ice
But who am I to argue with the weather Gods…
It’s still white, it’s still moisture and the mountains are shining brightly today with even more snow!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
Linda
Thank you so very much!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Your kind words, your loving stories, your endless profusion of concern and support has lifted my heart .
Giving me courage to continue onward, and forward, in this miserable abyss of Sammy’s last days.
Many of you have told me I will know, when his painful inching toward the rainbow bridge has becomes too much; at which time I will be able to help him into the after-life and into a whole and pain free existence. (I have worried that I won’t know, but I do think I will now; Sammy will tell me.)
Thank you once more!
Each one of you near and far, blog and FaceBook, commenter or reader have given me the strength to progress, I am humbled by your heart.
Love,
Linda
The Full December Moon rose so fast I didn’t catch it over the Eastern Horizon, until it was very high in the sky.
But there is was…the setting sun splashing color on the frozen mountains, the mist-filled valley’s picking up a little of the color and that Moon!
That moon touching the rose colored sky; a most solitary, magnificent, sight on ice-cold winds.
Stunningly glorious!
From my world to your heart!

All of my life, even as a small child, I have felt there is something I am meant to do. Something. Not big, not amazingly over-the-top, but something.
To be honest, everything I tried didn’t seem to be whatever the ‘it‘ is. Although, I have enjoyed many, many things.
Here I am, almost 67 years old in one month, and I STILL don’t know what “it” is.
But I must admit that ‘it’ nags at me, causes a sorta ‘need to know.’
Terry and his family are all super talented, it seems there isn’t anything they can’t do or create or achieve. My brother and my family, also seem the same way, except for me…for some reason I can’t figure out what draws at my heart–what I am supposed to be doing —- while alive on the face of this earth.
Something that is niggling at the back of my mind saying: ‘time is starting to run out’. It will not belong to each of us forever. So I have decided if I haven’t figured out this—whatever it is—I’m probably not going too this late in the game.
Instead I’ll just enjoy each day that is given to me. My greatest and strongest wish I have is to experience joy in every fiber of my being, my mind, and my soul for whatever time I have left to me. And to do that…all I have to do is enjoy each and every moment of every day I have left on earth.
A great big sundog appeared in morning sky today. A major cold front is coming toward us. The weather people say it will be here Wednesday…yep, right on time. Sundog portends a cool down in three days.
Sometimes I look at the sky and wonder…most people only see the emptiness of the sky, for the those things that live upon the earth clang and jar with sound and the trials and troubles of everyday living, plus people thrum with their own energy; their own lives.

But if you will stop and listen you can sense the procession of time on the earth and in the sky–something is going on in that great silence beyond our own knowing.
With much love, your friend,
Linda
