Yep! Corn Harvest Has Begun!
Soon we can see across the fields
And down the road.
The growing and harvesting of Season 2025 is about over!

And Then in The North —- Monday, November 11, 2024
If you go to the front of our house—the part facing the country road
Grand Mesa—all covered in snow this time of year (YAY! Water for Cedaredge and Grand Junction area)
But if you are really lucky (as I think I am)
You can see those magnificent Adobie Badlands/Dobies. All lit up by the sun.
(Some of these photos are from my archives)
Canyons, Plateaus, Buttes, and mesas — oh! My!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Farm Work, November 11, 2022
This is me! The new way of being ME!
FARM DOG!
No longer am I afraid out on the farm.
If Mom goes out on the farm
I go out on the farm
Once on the farm, Mom puts me on the ground and I sniff around all over the place. But I always, always, keep myself close to Mom! ALWAYS!
If we don’t go on the four-wheeler,
Then we walk.
I LOVE WALKING!
Although I don’t want to walk the whole farm, it’s too big and
I would get tired
FARM! DOG!
That’s Me!

Into the Count Down — Thursday, November 11, 2021
Terry has been checking the corn…we are getting close now
15%. Maybe next week we can start.
The Elevator only takes it at 14% or below.
Keep your fingers crossed!

A Thrill of Euphoria — Wednesday, November 11, 2020
We had gusty winds on Monday
Winds rough enough the weeds were jerked loose and flung here and there
The dust was rather eye-filling, to say the least.
Still, the murmuration of the birds was delightful (see the wee sundog in the sky? Colder air on its way to us)
And the joy of the Red-Winged Black Birds fills our sky each and every day.
Their dance is delightful to see so I go out often trying to capture them rippling in the air.
No matter what the wind does. (Scattering weed seed here and there for next year’s crop) 🙂
Bringing in storms
The buffeting wind can, also, scatter clouds giving us sunshine.

The Moon-lighted Darkness— Monday, November 11, 2019
On a wee walk-about in
The moon-washed world
Boomer and I strolled taking photos in the November cold
The vibrations of the night were full of ghosts, sprites, elves, and Winter-time dwarves.
Prowling silently throughout the darkening land.
These wee unseen creatures stalking alongside the predators of the night
Shimmering mysteriously suddenly there
Adding to the unusualness of a star caught in the glow of the moon.
The world…strange, glowing, twinkling
Everything and everyone in the shadowy darkness
All caught in the silver moonlight.

Brief Cheers! — Sunday, November 11, 2018
Finally, after staying steady and ‘keeping after it’
I got the leaves off the yard!
Although I thought the leaf covered lawn was rather pretty, the lack of leaves is much more appealing.
SMILING BIG HERE!! 🙂

A Storm Rolled in Last Night—-Wednesday, November 11, 2015
We woke up to snow this morning! Although it IS melting, it’s still snow. Sure seems early this year.
Terry and I worked on the fire roads. We have one that is a pain in the ….well, you know what.
Yep, Terry is stuck…that’s a chain, whereby I’m pulling him out. This particular spot is a real struggle. Twice a year we clear and clean and create making it safe to get to the rest of the farm.
Fire is a mighty and very scary thing.
Boomer worked right along side of us, up and down, back and forth…over and over again.
Right now the wind is blowing, sharp and cold; pushing the clouds toward the north and the east, mud is appearing where the snow once was. Work on the fire roads has ended for the year.
