Oh, the wonder of MARCH!
The snow did a big melt
The wind helped
And the warmer temperatures
TLC stayed outside the whole day through
Me?
I Stayed with Mom
Mom is my job
TLC says his job is the farm
We both say
(See me in the window and TLC trying to get in?)
Yay! It’s March!
Mom says careful kids, March is tricky
We can still get lots of snow
Or rain
Or something.
For sure she says we will get
WIND!
We don’t care…
It’s March
And the ground is mostly dry!
Boo Berry and TLC
Spring isn’t far off now
I can see it in the shadows.
Whispering of more sun, warmer days
Winter’s landscape gradually changing!
YAY!

The moon is growing smaller each and every day now. Shrinking from a great swollen ball hazed by a shimmer causing it to look gold as it rises into the sky.
There (as luck would have it) were the Sandhill Cranes etched sharply in the newly minted silver of the moon.
What a gift!
What a marvelous gift…the moon and the Sandhill cranes.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Jason and Shilo, Shilo the Wonder Dog,
And all her puppies stopped by to say HI!
They were heading to the mountains for a day of training.
What a fun, brief little lighthearted moment to our day!

We had rain…I tried to get a photo of it last night, rain is rather hard to photograph in the dark…
Just say’n.
But still, I had fun trying.
Yesterday our oldest daughter saw a marvelous rainbow on her way to work
So, because I love rainbows…she sent a photo to me!
Even though we are so terribly wet, and the days are dark and dreary Boomer’s and my little walkabouts are showing that Spring is starting to arrive
And this morning after a night of hard rain
I see GREEN starting to appear!
YAY!

“Where are you going?” I asked as Terry headed out the door.
“I need to disk the ends back on all the fields, just in case of fire.” he replied
Then turning back around, with a smile on his face ” But really I’m going to go play in the dirt!”
Yes, I thought to myself, that smile says it all.
With much joy,
Linda
Yesterday we woke-up to a yard looking like this, only without the shadows or the clip of blue sky.
By early morning it started raining and raining. For a short time a mist would hover over the land, then the clouds would open again.
By evening, when I went to get the nights firewood the lawn looked like this…my boots squished across the sodden expanse.
Later in the evening as I readied for bed I could see lightening flashing in the west. Could we have turned the corner from winter to spring thunder storms? Possibly, only time will tell.
Your friend,
Linda
