As I stood watching the long grasses in the pasture (the Upper End)
The sun broke through the west’s low-lying clouds, lighting up a unique edge on a stem of grass!
Thank Heavens for cameras, otherwise, this beautiful experience would only be a memory.
From my world to your heart,

Thursday, I was out and about looking for things of wonder
Watching the insects and bees, enjoying the beauty of the last flowers of the season—
Thinking to myself that Autumn/Fall is earth’s answer to the sky’s gift of rainbows
Checking the bee house (it’s filling up)
And the ladybug house—-nothing there. I don’t really know how a LadyBug house works.
When I looked up into the sky and saw a Sun Dog!
A simple, but very {always} correct announcement, of colder weather coming in three days’ time.
From my world to your heart,

Mom, Boomer and I went for a walkabout.
That means we walked to the cross over ditch. Mom won’t go much further because she thinks I will get lost on the farm. Then we walked down the long lane to the county road; then home, again, home, again, we trod.
Out by the grain bin, we saw a FOX! Boomer ran up to say “Hi!” but the fox ran off.
Fast! Faster than an old/ancient beagle can run. Of course, Mom was yelling at Boomer to “COME HERE! Boomer, come back”!
The fox could have run off because of Mom and her loud voice. Don’t ya think?
Then when we went for a walk down the long, long lane to the road, Mom made all of us turn around and RUN back toward the house as fast as possible.
Mom didn’t yell this time.
She just turned around and RAN!
After all that excitement, Mom picked me up, opened the back door, told Boomer to get in the house and that was it.
Run over!
Walk over!
Finished!

In a very dark morning sky, we loaded ourselves up and headed to New Castle, Colorado where our oldest granddaughter was playing in a volleyball tournament
As the sun lighten the sky (as we drove along)
We saw lovely bits of clouds laying sweetly along pockets in the mountains
Their beauty made my heart light
And the world a bit sweeter!
From my world to your heart

We were in Delta, Thursday afternoon, when we drove down a side street and saw a HUGE group of people gathered on a sidewalk corner staring, pointing, and taking photos.
Coming to a stop at the stop sign we lookedto where everyone was pointing and we saw
A BEAR!
Here is a story about the bear.
What a huge beautiful bear!

The wind blew strong and the wind blew hard
Picking up leaves, weeds and stripping corn
Racing along in the night-time gloaming
Two little girls to Grammie’s homing
Quickly, quickly the wind lays waste
The warm summer days are now displaced!
Two little Girls come visiting!
(We had a wonderful surprise visit from our grandchildren Sunday! YAY!)
From our world to your heart!

“There are times when we stop,
we sit still.
We listen to the breezes from a whole other world
begin to whisper.”—James Carroll
How true! We just have to stand still…and feel…listen…and there they are…the whispers of the wind, the earth and the sky.
Your friend,
Linda
