I Can Sometimes Feel the Throbbing of the Earth, Monday, May 5, 2025

Plus the strumming of the Earth’s vibrations

As spring starts warming the air—in a more substantial way.

My lilacs froze this year (along with all the fruit), but this late bloom made it—to lift the spirits of anyone who passes by.

We had a cold front move through, bringing back winter sunrises—just for a couple of days

Here is our headgate (the long metal box) where time always seems to stand still —- the roaring, tumbling water mesmerizing!

Spring so full of life that sometimes you can feel the earth humming.

Gokotta   yo-‘kot-tah—Swedish  (n.):  “Dawn picnic to hear the first birdsong; the act of rising in the early morning to watch the birds or to go outside to appreciate nature.

That Hour Before Dawn Changes into —- HOPE, Monday, January 27, 2025

Once the sun comes the momentum of Hope is more like Confidence!

Good Morning, Sunshine!!!

What is Unique and Necessary About Winter, Monday, January 29, 2025

Winter is a tad fragile—-even though it doesn’t seem so.

Spring, Summer, and Autumn all depend on Winter and winter’s gift of snow/water and terribly cold and freezing temperatures.

Water—Winter’s Gift to all of us.

This Year Promise Me Something, Tuesday, January 2, 2024

This year promise me something—as I will promise back to you

Stop often and many times throughout your day to just see,

feel, and hear all those marvelous joys around us

Rejoice at the sight of our winged neighbors

Walk in the sunshine

Give thanks at the end of the day

Be still and feel the Earth and all those marvelous creatures: plants, animals, and soil. Then feel the sky: the sun, the moon, all those marvelous stars, not to forget the clouds, the wind, and storms.

After all, once we connect to those marvelous things, we connect with each other, the heavens, and those who reside there!

Be well, enjoy, and know my heart is with you.

Linda

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunday and Monday a Big Wind Blew — Tuesday, March 7, 2023

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.

A Rainbow Gift from the Ocean (and Our Kids :) ), Monday, January 23, 2023

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

 

Weather—and the Hay is Down, Monday, October 3, 2022

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.
