In between our storms, I’ve been working in the yard. Which is a tad HUGE
The trees let down their leaves right in the yard, the driveway, the sheds — a thick amount of leaves.
But the work was brightened with birdsong and random bits of sunlight.
I even got hot enough to wear shorts and no coat!
YAY!!!

Gradually removing the misty late-winter rain, leaving our world cold, frosty, and perfect!
Then the wind brought in more clouds—clouds that feel and smell like snow.
Two more weeks of February —- getting closer and closer to SPRING!!!
YAY!

All our snow is gone. Even those places where the sun doesn’t shine.
Of an evening, we often get a cold wind that flips your hair all around, but in the morning, it’s gone.
Our sun is warming the Earth more and more. The afternoon’s getting up to 63* or even better.
It’s a tad scary — we need water. Which means we need snow. They are saying two storms are heading into our mountain ranges. We sure hope so.
We sure hope so.

Yep!
Back he (we) go!
I love seeing and smelling the fresh turned soil.
Farming Season has begun!

They seem to face each day as though the day will bring nothing but delight!
I lend them my heart! Their song is so beautiful!

I am always watching for birds— isn’t this one sweet?
I feel like birds are the voice of happiness — they fill our lives daily. We just have to listen.

So, of course, I have to be on the lookout for Hearts!
And YES!!! They are here!
And EVERYWHERE!
My heart sings! I always, always tell the rock thank you, then I tell the earth thank you!
For (after all) love is a fragile thing and needs to be recognized when you are gifted with love!

February is the longest, [the most] horribly longest month of the year for me.
August has that effect on my husband. But not me. Mine is February.
But—- the big winter birds—the Sandhill Cranes and
And the Canada Geese flocking on the farm come to my help.
Watching them fly overhead
(There are snow geese with these Canada Geese)
Lift my heart, my mind, and my soul high with them!

The Snow Moon —starting up through the West Elk Mountains
Gradually losing the tangle of the trees to spread silver-white light upon the earth!
So amazing! SO AMAZING!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

SO! Big! So full! Filling our world with silver light!
Moonlight so pure and dazzling it feels like the farm is caught in a netted swath of white and crystal, plus thickening shadows like a cloak of love.
We are so lucky, you and I, to live and play on this amazing Earth we share!
