In the Early Morning, While Changing Water —- Sunday, June 14, 2026

From my archives

Boo Berry and I were up at the Headgate checking for trash, sticks, and weeds trapped in the scary head gate.

Nothing there.  Good

Off we headed back to the Y in the ditch; we were bringing the water down to the new alfalfa field

When I found this feather.  All beat up and trapped in a clump of grass.

(This from my archives)  I am thinking it just might be a hawk’s feather.   We seem to hear a pair of them talking as they wing through the air—the sound echoing softly down through the living air.

It was a gift—

A true gift.

From my world to your heart,

We were heading out to load up some siphon tubes when I looked up and saw —

The hawk was scouting us for food.

We have crows fly into our trees randomly.

I think about trying to feed them so they will stay, but I never do it.

I actually rather like the hawk; crows and hawks don’t live in the same area.

So — I have a hawk instead.  🙂

I was taking photos of birds—when this Hawk flew into my view

He/She had lunch in the claws, but what was lunch?

When it flew closer, I saw it was a snake!

WOW! What a neat thing to see (and photograph)

A Rush of the Wild — Monday, January 22, 2024

While doing my ironing I saw a bit of the sky’s wildness land in the yard in front of me.

Beautiful!  Just Beautiful!

BUT———————————-

The girls were out and about having a good time in the yard.  I shooed them into the hen house until I was sure that beautiful creature had left for another spot on the farm. 🙂

I’ve been feeding the birds

Winter is so hard on them.  A few shakes of chicken food are good for helping keep everyone warm.

OH! MY!

SCATTER!!!!

(I’m sorry…I know the hawk is hungry too, but….not while I’m watching.  Please.)

The Sound in Silence—-Sunday, July 30, 2023

Have you noticed (wherever you live) there is no absolute silence anymore?

Even the most remote spots have the presence of  a roar in jets or distant traffic

(see the bunny?)

Welcome sounds of liquid bird songs—-always welcome

And the dappled shadows of gently rustling leaves in the breeze

A soothing delight.

The sounds of silence eddying gently

Bringing with it a tiny rainbow—a source of huge delight.

From my heart to your world,

Linda

Yes, I know—the Dance of Life is terrible in so many ways

 

Yet, at the same time, I can’t help myself admiring those huge birds of prey

Hawks, so beautiful, As they circle, circle, looking for a meal.

 

No different than anyone of us, ever.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

I always wonder how the wee little animals do

Mr. P with his feathers are shinny and georgous

The silent winging of our resident hawk

The happy peaceful feeling

Being out THERE on the farm.
