Melting most of the big snow drifts!
OH! YAY!
But the weather people are saying another Snow Storm is due in here Thursday!
Melt and warmer temps and even a drying wind is a good sign of Spring.

Cliff and Kimberly left an ocean cruise where they came across
A most unique and rare gift fro the water and sky
A marvelous rainbow
They sent it to me for my birthday!
How very blessed I am!
Thank you, Kids, (with the Myers) what a great present this was!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Wet cat
“It’s wet out there Mom!”
“Yes, Mom, WET!!!”
Sigh!
We just needed a couple more days of drying to get the hay in.
Farming. Always a risk, where the weather is concerned.

One more field to cut—then we bale and stack. The second cutting is getting closer to finish.

Here is a wee walk-about
Showing to you, that old, old story,
Of the silence, which is really not silent
of the beauty of our each and every day.
That sense of timelessness
Of marvelous and easy grace
Casting a tiny spell of contentment
A sense of wonder
Of daily life on our farm.
🙂
From my world to your heart,
Linda
It’s that time of year (again) when all the canals are turned off
Allowing the reservoirs and lakes to start filling again
It’s a lovely but (for me) a tad sad
For that means winter is looming
Still, I gather at the fences and allow the joyful tinkling of the life-giving water
Lifting the energy of my mind,
my spirit and soul.
A marvelous sensation, akin to the beating of God(s) heart!

Today, Monday, Terry goes in for a hernia operation.
It will be good to get this hernia fixed
It’s an in-and-out operation, so I should be back tomorrow.
But, just in case I’m not
You will know why.

The sky, the air, the light
Has all changed.
Terry says it feels like the middle of September now
I agree with him.
Autumn/Fall is early this year.
Maybe it (Autumn) will linger on longer than normal,
Allowing those of us who are very fond of this time of year,
(See the spider in her web…waiting, waiting…shudder)
To enjoy its perfection.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Boomer and I headed to the Upper End, yesterday,
Just enjoying the smiling sunshine
Enjoying the clouds forming over the Uncompaghre Plateau
When I ran into those pesky wasps on the way back (again)
I just had to see
If I could
Get a decent 
Photo 
Or two.
Although, this is blurry (as they all are) the attack in the sky was very dramatic.
That was pretty cool to see!

The Third cutting of hay is occurring right now, even as I write!
It’s early this year. By about three weeks.
But when it’s ready to cut, it’s ready!
The third cutting of rich, thick alfafa…drying in the sun. Soon to be made into hay!
