The rain and snow came in yesterday and we loved it
It fell in the mountains and froze up our world
The clouds flew in on very cold wind pushing the moon behind them
Tattered shadows scudded here and there across the darkening sky
Shimmering pale and lovely above the now winter landscape
Winter has finally arrived on our farm in the western part of Colorado.
From my world to your heart,

Mom and I went for a nice long walk one night in the Full of the November moon.
Mom and I always go for lots of walks
day and at least one at night.
Mom says her favorite night-time walk is in the full-moon, although the dark of moon allows the star-spangled sky to shine.
Mom takes her camera, although she doesn’t always get good photos. Still…she likes to snap away.
As for me…well…I like to check out news! But you knew that already! 🙂
So…..along the way we ran into a buck…who actually ran into us.
We scared him so bad he jumped the fence, then the canal and the next fence and ran away, away, away.
Mom took a picture of all the house lights over the mesa from us in what the old-timers used to call “No-Mans-Land” ….I guess it’s should be called ‘Any-man’s-land” now since there are houses all over down there.
On the way back Mom sat down on the gated pipe and just sat. Suddenly a doe came out of the corn…walked right in front of Mom and guess what…MOM GOT A PHOTO!!!
Of course the deer got a scare. She bounded off on her tip-toes in dainty leaps and bounds.
Back home the fire in the woodstove felt good…Mom and I settled in for the night…refreshed and bathed in moonlight.
