I love how everything has a shadow!!
Shadows are a testament to each and all things upon the earth (and a gift from the sun)
They bring quiet and feelings of stillness
In scorching summer they offer a retreat from the heat
They also add to the song of each and every day
Shadows!
They make my heart sing with joy, gladness, and delight!

It is still winter here—although, we did have a mild Sunday
And wind.
But woke up to snow on Monday.
In three more weeks, it will be March! March is the start of spring for me!! 🙂
YAY!

“Some of us don’t want to be tough alpha leaders. Some of us just want to write and wander the garden and breathe in the sky and nourish and nurture and quietly create new pathways and live our lives as our art. To know the earth as poetry.” — Victoria Erickson, Author, Rhythms and Roads

LOOK!
There in the crowded little bird cafe…enjoying a tiny little feast
Twisting this way and that on the treat feeder….a darling little woodpecker!
I think it is a Downy Woodpecker.Â

The Sandhill cranes are amazing this year. For Years and Years, I used to stand outside and wave at the Cranes inviting them to land on our farm
“Please land”, I would holler, you are most welcome here.
Then for some reason, only the Sandhill Cranes know and understand, we had three Cranes come in late fall and spend the days with us
Over time, we have had a steadily growing number
Then the other day those most welcome Canada Geese found us!!
Landing in the field to the east of our house.
We are alive with the sounds of large bird calls!
My heart is filled with joy!

The other day we had wind!  So much so Romeo didn’t think much of having his mane tossed and ruffled. It was sorta funny to see him close his eyes and try to endure.
Lady’s mane doesn’t flap about! 🙂 So she didn’t care.

We spent the day checking fences,
Repairing any that needed fixing
And taking down the electric fence in Romeo’s part of the farm.
When the cows come they get the whole farm. Â They do an excellent job of munching down all the weeds….all of them.
Romeo has selective tastes. Â Romeo is also a stud horse, so must be corralled until after the calves come and they all leave. Â He will herd the cows constantly, which isn’t a good thing.
We had extra help…Min-Min
Boomer, who always helps,
and if you look closely at this photo
Willow cat helped!
