In the Early Evening Light — Sunday, September 27, 2026

Posted on September 27, 2026 by Dayphoto

I like being out on the farm. I like to ride the four-wheeler out, Boo and I. Then I turn it off, and we just sit there. All still and calm.

Listening to the small wind in the Rabbit Brush, and the strident calls of crickets.

Gradually, the deer appear, the shadows making them hard to see as they move carefully through the farm, on their way to someplace else.

Once I can’t see them anymore, Boo and I fire up the four-wheeler and head home.

Feeling pleasantly peaceful.

May blessings of peace abound for you, My Friends,

Linda

Hummmm, Lets See Where I Might Find Some Food, Monday, September 7, 2026

Posted on September 7, 2026 by Dayphoto

Food! Food! Food! I really think I’m a bit hungry.

(All photos caught on the house cameras)

Nothing here! Nothing. The lady who lives here has lots of plants but nothing worth munching on.

CORN! CORN! I’m going to go help myself to some CORN!!

Something Moving — Monday, May 25, 2026

Something moving there in the beautiful brightness of the morning sun

A Deer brushing by in the gentle breeze

Breathless, so swift it was almost invisible.

I’ve Been Seeing Tiny Hoofprints —- Tuesday, April 21, 2026

Posted on April 21, 2026 by Dayphoto

I’ve been seeing tiny hoof prints in our yard, so I set up a game camera

Thankfully, I have nothing growing that they enjoy eating 🙂

Ever so darling.

I’m sure there are adults out there on the farm somewhere.

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

Posted on September 17, 2025 by Dayphoto

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

Nearing the End of Irrigation Season —Wednesday, September 3, 2025

Posted on September 3, 2025 by Dayphoto

As the sun starts rising,

Or setting

Beneath cloudy skies of storm clouds

The need to keep the crops on our place watered has been a constant

Since early spring.

We are starting into the home run now.

The corn is almost all dented. Once dented, we will water one more time. (to be sure all the kernals are nice and full)

After which, we stop all irrigation on the three corn fields.

After that, we will water the two alfalfa fields a couple of more times. We don’t want them going into the winter dry. If they are too dry, they will die over the winter.
