I Sing to You of the Moon, Monday, February 2, 2026
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!

THIS IS IT!!!, Monday, September 8, 20205
We did it!!!
The last set of irrigation water has occurred. Tomorrow, Terry will turn off the water to the farm. The only time we will turn it back on is if we don’t get any rain and the alfalfa starts to suffer.
We are not only winding down. We have WOUND down!
(The irrigation water stays in the canal until the first week in November. Many farms below us still have crops to irrigate. It’s just that we are done.
The canal is not done.
YAY!

Next Day, Marble, Colorado, —Monday, July 14, 2025
One thing Wayne had always wanted to do (as an adult) was to go to Marble, Colorado
(Click on the blue to learn more)
So off we went!
Touring the old factory site, going up to the Mine Entrance
And eating at the famous BBQ spot. It wasn’t too busy that day, we only had a 30 minute wait.
Marble! A fun place to visit. An interesting place to learn about. And Good Company!
Perfect!
Word of the day: Kawaakari (n): The gleam of last light on a river’s surface at dusk; the glow of a river in the darkness. Origins Japanese

Little Chirrups and Hums, and Even Beautiful Silence, Monday, June 9, 2025
I try to be silent
Not loud, so I can see all those wonderful little creatures
I love seeing what I can see
These amazing lithe animals
Of Which moves as silently as a whisper
So when I see them, I try to softly enjoy each.
Yugen (noun): A profound awareness of the Universe that triggers feelings too deep and mysterious for words.

We Took a Wee Trip—Just a Tiny One, Monday, June 2, 2025
On Sunday, we decided to do some more traveling.
We turned onto the Canna Creek Road, just before Whitewater, Colorado,
Then traveled up the Land’s End Road to the Reeder Mesa turn-off
What a treat!
Lots of building going on up there, BUT
Like I showed you earlier, this Pronghorn ran alongside us for a goodly little way. It was
acting like he/she was looking for its herd.
Then we entered Whitewater, Colorado, and drove to Grand Junction to eat ribs at Texas Roadhouse.
Back home before the heat built up into sweltering.
A good day for sure!
Fernweh (n): An ache for distant places; a craving for travel.
