I Have a Great Need of Silence — Sunday, June 21, 2026

Because sometimes I really can’t take everything anymore

I sit by the hollyhocks and become one with the outside

The Buzzing of the Bumble Bees, the flowers, and Me.

The air is full of tranquility.

The peace of the summer day settles softly on my skin.

Sharing time with a wonderful little bumblebee

Silence and calm

The delicious air is full of the scent of roses and lilies

My worries, concerns, and troubles tumble out of my mind

Solitude—the quiet, filled with the scents of summer and the sounds of healing.

From my World to your heart,

Linda

But looking at a wonderful waterfall—is just plain delightful!

The water seems to move and breathe life into all the surrounding parts of the earth.

Echoes of Green and wet spray taking us home again, home again.

We took a fun trip to

Redstone, Colorado, in our Corvette

with a group of friends.

Nice!

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,

Linda

 

We’ve Been a Tad Tired — Thursday, June 11, 2026

It’s been HOT again.  August heat in early June 😦  With wind, wind, wind —40 M.P.H. wind.

Short water, very short, and the ground so dry the water can’t get it wet.

So we said —–

Why not!?

BIG SMILE HERE!

As the Stars Came Out —- Monday, June 8, 2026

Just as the sun completely closed down for the day.  And the first stars started winking in the east

A darling deer jumped out in the path before me—

Everything was drinched in shadows, even the deer.

Then home again, home again, in the swirl of the colored sky.

What a glorious evening this was!

Both fields are cut now—drying in the sun.  And the air —- oh, the air!  YUM!!
