The Earth, the Sky, Our Very Air We Breathe — Thursday, December 9, 2021

Posted on December 9, 2021 by Dayphoto

Is full of energy

(You are looking at Cedaredge from our house)

The energy of the earth, the sky, the air is flowing through each and everything we see and or touch

We only have to be outside to become part of that energy.

And if you stand still, or dance around in awe, 🙂

You realize you are now one with this amazing energy.

You are one with the ripples and eddies as the energy moves around you

And through you

Swinging, swaying, moving — Dancing, dancing, dancing

Quivering through you and everything alive, including the soil, the rocks, and all the plants

A soothing song of comfort wrapping you in an endless timeless melody.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Elf Bolt, Wraith Stone, Eagle Stone, Snake Stone, NOT — Wednesday, December 9, 2020

Posted on December 9, 2020 by Dayphoto

I had just locked the gate —the one which keeps the cows on their side of the fence

Following Terry in the pick-up with our last load of cut firewood for the day,

When, I looked down, did a double-take, took out my camera

For I had found another, wee gift from the earth.

No, it was not an Elf Bolt, nor a snake stone,

Nor was it a wraith stone (The Wraith Stone is an ancient artifact that was discovered by Amanda Evert. It was used by her to save her life when she was trapped inside a tomb in Paraíso, .— Raiders of the Lost Ark)

Nor was it an Eagle Stone

My heart was beating fast…I flipped it over it stayed a heart.

A wonderful jolt of love from the Earth to me and to you.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Entwined in my Heart — Monday, December 9, 2019

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Dayphoto

Another wee rainbow yesterday! What a joy to behold!

A hawk sat in the branches of the old Willow tree

He looked a little worse for wear…probably the too wet of the night. (I’m guessing)

Because of the rain, the ground was just right for Terry to smooth out the road

In front of the sheds. It’s funny how the long lane to the house and the roads around the sheds seem to get lumps and bumps.

Then in the quiet, while I hauled wood and gathered eggs

I saw an unusual bird, a Woodpecker possibly? Does anyone know?

And I think, this is a hawk…what do you think?

My daily sphere of life, little treasures of the ordinary.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

A Little Treat for your Dog—-Wednesday, December 9, 2015

Posted on December 9, 2015 by Dayphoto

Dog Cookies!!!

Boomer loves these! He won’t eat them in the house, always takes it outside to a ‘special’ spot. I guess he is afraid the cats will want a bite.

Cranberry Spinach Dog Cookies

Place 2 1/2 cups brown rice flour, 1/4 c chopped fresh cranberries, 1/4 cup chopped spinach thawed and drained, 3 large eggs, and 1 T olive oil. Mix together until it forms a ragged ball.

Turn out onto a floured (with brown rice flour) surface and knead until the dough is smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill until firm—I let it set overnight.

Remove from the refrigerator and roll a generous thickness between two sheets of waxed paper. Cut out and place on baking pans, then back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350*

Place baking sheets in preheated oven and bake 6 minutes then reduce the temperature to 325*. Bake until cookies are firm. Turn off the oven and leave the cookies to dry completely for 2 hours.

Remove and leave cookies on your counter at least overnight to continue drying. A perfectly dried cookie will snap and crumble when broken. Place in jars and seal.

From Boomer to Your fur children with much Love,

Linda

I’m Late, I’m Late—Tuesday, December 9, 2014

Posted on December 9, 2014 by Dayphoto

I’m late today! Very late!

But we have been up and at’em since 5 this morning. What a joggle of a day.

The brakes went out of the LOADED grain truck —this time the booster. This time the truck stays parked until the brakes can be fixed. (This is exactly WHY most people do NOT want to deal with old equipment…but I digress!)

Thankfully the truck was in the yard and parked under the car port…blessings abound!

We covered the completely full truck up with a tarp and tied it down. Then while Terry ran over to a neighbor who works on semi’s, to see if there were parts he could get to fix the truck, I got the house straightened up ready so we could go get the other truck. Hines said Terry could use one of their trucks to finish up our fields (two to go—well, really 1 3/4 to go). If everything holds together we hope to be done by next week…fingers and toes crossed and magic thoughts and prayers…even a knock or two on wood!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

I have two beautiful photos from a long-time blog friend, OneFly...the first is a stunning rainbow he sent awhile back

and the second is a photo when he was going to San Jose…he loves the tropical places and travels somewhere warm and lush every winter. (This was taken in 2012—I thought it was fun to share it today, being how it is winter and brown and drab here 🙂 )
