I was out and about just enjoying myself
Doing this and that
The dog, our dog—Boo Berry Betty—had come out
Then had gone back in.
I was getting a tad bored
So, I headed to the dirt pile
This is a big pile of dirt Dad keeps for
Repairing the roads, and ditch banks
And stuff like that
So anyway, Out I went
It was warm and sunny
I decided Mouse would taste good
Right about now.
When
SUDDENLY I SAW
DANGER
The only thing left for me to do
WAS
SCATTER!

Gosh, here we are the last day of September.
Tomorrow is October.
The shadows in Autumn are just a little bit thicker now
A little bit darker, the light from the sun more brilliant
The air holds a chill much easier
Although, the middle of the day holds a tad touch of Summer
I must confess, the only time of the year, the weeds are sorta kinda pretty.
Blink…time is moving fast.

I love taking photos of the moon
I try to capture the moon whenever possible, even with the wrong camera to pick it up.
I look for the moon in the sky, glistening bright and fresh, bejewelling our earth
Sometimes covered in misty crystals of ice…like frozen cobwebs in the air.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
In this world of many wonders, the God(s) send brilliant blessings, which we can not see if we don’t stop and look.
My email had this marvelous message:
” Hi, Linda.
A strong and fast storm blew through late afternoon today, knocking down limbs throughout the area. It moved west to east, with the setting sun breaking out on the horizon right as the downpour ended.
You know what that means:
And just a few moments before, this was sitting atop our roof:
By its tail feathers, it looked to be a Cooper’s Hawk.
Hoping you get some good rain – and soon.
Thanks. Take care.
Joe
This day, this wonderous day is the only one you have until you wake up the next morning.
Thank you, Joe!
May each one of you have a day full of glowing sunlight!

Well, we got half of the dirt cleaned off of the settling pond! (all the edges must be cleaned off so the pond can be re-dug in the spring.)
The rest will wait until March or early April, just before the water is turned into the ditches on that field.
Boomer had a great time…but nothing compares to loading up and ‘escorting’ in and out hay customers! Well, maybe right up there with the Mail Lady—and SHE always has a dog cookie with Boomer’s name written on it!
A good couple of days work! Nothing broke down, everything went smooth as glass.
You can’t ask for more than that. 🙂

For a small amount of time the clouds parted and blue sky appeared. It was lovely! The dogs and cats and I danced a jig on the very wet lawn. It was delightful!
Then the rains came back. Heavy wet rains complete with thunder.
We are soaked…drowned…extremely wet.
But John North sent me a youtube song about Rainbows and perfect song to go with this wet spell we are having–
A perfectly wonderful wish for a cold wet day.
Then Linda from Alexandria, Louisiana sent this wonderful rainbow
Rene`, who lives in Paonia, Colorado (just about an hour’s drive from here) sent me these two stunning rainbows—spanning the mountains where she lives.
Sara from Punkin’s Patch sent a twitter photo–Brian Miner of BDMphoto https://twitter.com/BDMphoto
Rainbows from around the world and close to home…who could ask for more?
Not I!
Thank you, my friends!
Remember if you have a fun/interesting or outstanding photo you would like to share I will be very glad to post them on my blog—always you will have the credit!
Your friend on a very wet and soggy farm,
Linda
