The wind—playing with the leaves!
Makes me happy, makes me sing, and sometimes I even like to dance in the wind blowing leaves.

When the Wind Tears the Earth to Shreds —- Wednesday, May 26, 2021
The is an UpSide to the wind—Sorta
It helps the sap rise up out of the roots of the trees, so the leaves can gather light and we can have shade
It can bring in a storm…it can, not always, but it could
But the biggest thing it does (on human terms)
is it keeps the bugs
At bay. 🙂

Before the Second Snowfall of the Year — Thursday, November 5, 2020
(This photo was taken just before the First Snowfall of the Year)
I decided yesterday,
I needed to go into the heart of the farm,
into the heart of the Earth;
where places of wonder exist,
places where I could forget politics
and angst
and worries.
I went off and on throughout the whole day
Looking at the crisped bushes, trees, and the fallen leaves
Gathering the heart of the Earth into my heart
Enjoying the peace
(Looking for these creatures)
The shadows
Before the predicted
High winds of Fall
(I only saw a few of these)
Are due in here of Friday
Bringing with it several days of the second snowfall of the season.
The light last night was lovely.
My favorite light—looking at the world through the color Rose.

As One Season Ended —- Wednesday, October 28, 2020
The wind  
flung the golden leaves off in flurries of snow
Causing the leaves to look like they were frozen while dancing.

Circled Around Our Hearts —- Thursday, December 26, 2019
For our anniversary we gathered ourselves up, did all small chores we have this time of year
Then drove to Ouray, Colorado, whereby we spent the afternoon soaking in the hot springs
Then home again, home again to enjoy the heat of the woodstove, a log snapping as it fired, the flames dancing, the air drowsy with warm relaxation.
A perfect Celebratory day.

It was a Hard Time. A Bad Time, But all is Well Now —- Wednesday, November 20, 2019
A few weeks ago, I was bitten ON THE LIP, by a
Jumping Spider
I know it was a Jumping spider because I caught and killed it…gross thing.
It took me forever to over-come it.
First, my bottom lip looked like I had a Cold Sore…A HUGE Cold Sore! Like HUGE!
The pain was like spear thrusts on my lip, in my gums, my tongue swelled…
Then the venom traveled into my nasal passages and my throat and my ear canal
It was like I had a cold, but not like a cold…it was horrible
After two weeks I had to go to the Doctor and get a shot. I just could not fight it anymore. Terry started to get worried, and to tell the truth, so did I.
Even after the shot, the left side of my face swelled up so much I looked like I had collagen shots on the left side of my face ONLY
The right side was as wrinkled as before, BUT with the big fat left side, it looked even more wrinkled 🙂
Then the headaches started, and the earache, plus the continued running nose.
But, actually, by that point (two weeks ago)Â I was feeling better and
knew I wouldn’t be whirling away with the spirits of the dead.
So…………..today I can say only my ear pain is left…and it is diminishing.
What a long process! But I made it!
(And I didn’t let it get me — I still went for walks, took photos, had company, bought groceries and continued the best I could with long, long naps in-between—it’s been a haul, but I’m here now. YAY! )

Dancing and Whispering —- Tuesday, November 5, 2019
(From Pinterest)
A few leaves have fallen off the freeze-dried branches of the old Cottonwood tree
Scattered here and there; stretching loosely across the farmyard
The chickens adding their delighted wing-stretching excitement to the downward slide into full-blown winter.
But what thrilled me the most (while on a walk with Boomer)
Was the swirling and darting of the leaves in a wee little breeze
Standing upright on their stems dancing, dancing, dancing creating a brilliantly choreographed ballet of green and golden leaves.
I was supremely delighted to have been gifted with this amazing event!
From my world to your heart,

Frost Early This Year — Monday, November 4, 2019
(from Pinterest)
The remnants of Summer freeze-dried right on the trees, with that nasty storm last week. (As you can see the bright gold of Autumn barely started)
The moisture in the corn zipped down to harvest levels. Although our renters have not started harvesting on our place
The alfalfa fields are just starting to show signs of turning brown…it takes alfalfa a long time to lose its green color.
Moon and one star
The chill of winter already upon the land. Methinks we are in for a long, long winter.

The Prospect of a New Day— Tuesday, January 8, 2019
“I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.”—J.B. Priestley
I love the blaze of light which gathers just before night creeps up onto the land
The collapse of the day
The colors only are seen at the beginning of the day or at the ending
The sky turning into the color of blueberry ice cream/ turning the earth the same color
Sometimes there are no masses of clouds defined with rays of sunshine
Or the clouds are so thin that the shafts of light seem misty and blurry
Sunrise can be so stunningly amazing that the trees seem like black shadows
Until the sun becomes high enough in the sky the dark silhouettes fade away
Then there is that golden light…a light there really isn’t words to explain the beauty
Just being outside, in that glory-filled light is really quite peaceful.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Brief Cheers! — Sunday, November 11, 2018
Finally, after staying steady and ‘keeping after it’
I got the leaves off the yard!
Although I thought the leaf covered lawn was rather pretty, the lack of leaves is much more appealing.
SMILING BIG HERE!! 🙂
