What are you doing, TLC?
Waiting for Mom or Dad?
You wait, then, I’m going out to the chicken house and look at
BIRDS!
Oh! Mom is here! Hi, Mom! Looking at birds are you?
SHHHHHHHHHH, Mom replied.
Okay.

It’s cold, no denying that!
It does warm up for a short while in the afternoon
Which truly helps.
Enough to take a walk, whistling all the while.
(I saw three Western Bluebirds yesterday—they are a bit early, but so welcome to see!
A sure sign —spring is beginning — well, at least thinking of thinking, to think about beginning 🙂 )

Well, as you found out I am talking to you about our weather. For now, in this post, we have now moved to Spring (although, it IS NOT Spring right now. Just for this wee report on the weather here on the farm)
Spring weather is busy weather. Always. That is why I told you about all the ‘work’ on the farm…work is a type of weather, you see. All that tooing and froing brings a sorta wind to everything.
Spring brings all the songbirds back so that (yum, slurp, lick) the whole world sounds like BIRDS!
Also, it’s time to say goodbye to those BIG birds. They rise up one day and point south in a huge arrow, call GOOD-BYE to Mom. Mom waves goodbye to them; throws a kiss, tells them safe journey, and come back again. The farm is always waiting for them.
And they are —- gone!
But for REAL Spring weather we turn to RAIN!
Good ole make your fur so wet it takes three hours of constant licking to ever get dry again.
Mom pets me and tells me…rain is good, TLC Cai-Cai, it cleans the earth, washes everything new, and helps all the plants grow and turn green.
Mom doesn’t understand how TIRED my tongue gets.
Just say’n.

During the night, one-day last week, the snow arrived
Not lots and lots of snow,
But enough snow, the ground was frozen
And pleasant to take a wild run about.
Fun!
Perfect!
The gifts of clean air, fresh snow, who could ask for more?

Walking out of the gym in Parachute, Colorado I had to marvel at the beauty of the full moon
It was stunning, rising above the mountains and the Bus and Maintenance barn
The silver moonlight followed us all the way home, through Debeque Canyon, over the desert to home…the glow of February’s lovely full moon.
From my heart to your world,
Linda
