Sometimes—Sometimes —- Tuesday, July 5, 2022

Posted on July 5, 2022 by Dayphoto

Do you do this—-sometimes?

You can be within a beautiful

Golden morning

When it starts to seem like everything you need to do

Starts coming at you in short, intensive

Bursts of essential needs all compressed into

chaos requiring action on your part?

Then at that point, you try to gather–

Your thoughts into some form of comprehension, so everything can be completed All At Once, as each thing is required.

After a bout of one of those stressful moments–

I have to walk out on the land and just breathe!

Being Part of Something — Monday, July 5, 2021

Posted on July 5, 2021 by Dayphoto

In this part of the farm, I often see

This little bunny and these two quails

Hanging out together.

Of course, we know they are not of the same species

But sometimes, even in the animal/bird world

There are those whose eyes don’t see the difference of others, but only the beauty.

Which fills up all the spaces in each other souls.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

When the world has these, who requires much more?

Good morning, Linda. It’s been a while since I’ve said hello. So Hello!

(That was from this past Monday.)

I hope this brightens your day.

Take care.

What a perfect way to start anyone’s day!

Thank you ever so much!

On the Day of the Fourth — Thursday, July 5, 2018

Posted on July 5, 2018 by Dayphoto

On the day of the 4th of July—-

Our kids were here from Parachute, Colorado (YAY!!!) Kelly, our son-in-law, is friends with one of the Delta Volunteer Firemen who invited Kelly and his whole family (we included) to come and see how the fireworks are set-up for the display that night.

It was fascinating!

Then that afternoon while the grandkids were playing in the canal they found a duck hiding in the grass.

Circling the duck she was saved. I now have a duck to join my hen. She was very very thin, extremely tired (the canal is very swift and hard to get out).

Her name is now Elsa.

Elsa is doing very well, ate and ate and ate, then went to sleep. Got up early and ate some more.

She has her own little pool and a yard and all the food she can eat.

I now have a Rescue Duck!

Then, in keeping with our annual family photo, it was time for the Knee-High by the 4th of July photo.

Complete with the BFF’s of our grandson and oldest granddaughter!

What a good time we had! (another fun piece is the two ‘new’ kids to the block call Terry and I Grandpa and Grammy! We think that is a very high compliment!)

The Gossamer of Summer—Wednesday, July 5, 2017

Posted on July 5, 2017 by Dayphoto

Our youngest daughter, our son-in-law, and the three grandchildren (plus Grandpa, of course) all posed for our annual “Knee-High by the Fourth of July” calendar photo last evening.

Then we all headed off to watch the

fireworks at Confluence Lake in Delta.

Of course fireworks are always beautiful…massive showers of sparkling lights hurtled to the heavens, drowning out the stars…but not the waxing Gibbous moon.

Before we headed down to join the masses watching roaring darkness…

Boomer went with me to do my evening chores. This is the first time he truly smiled since his illness. I’m holding my breath in this space-in-time; following the last few days of fear, illness and extreme worry I pray we don’t have a relapse.

He still has coughing jags, but he is eating and drinking and eliminating. His tail wags, he is walking around, asks to ride with me on the four-wheeler…and now Smiles!

Once more thank you so much (each and everyone of you) for your support and strength through out all this.

Love,

Linda

The Warmth of the Heavy Sun—Tuesday, July 5, 2016

Posted on July 5, 2016 by Dayphoto

The warmth of the heavy sun has brought to us the sour cherries and apricots. I had thought they froze, but I was wrong.

Our kids are still here. The days full of waves of gentle peace…something I am not resisting.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

WE MADE IT!—Sunday, July 5, 2015

Posted on July 5, 2015 by Dayphoto

After a horrible start to our farming season, rain, cold, rain…hard to get the ground worked up…too wet and cold to plant…we were very concerned the corn wasn’t going to make.
