Delightfully Wonderful and Much Needed Fun — Wednesday, September 6, 2023
Sunday was such a beautiful day…we thought “Let’s not work!”
So—-we loaded ourselves up and headed up to Marble—a two-hour trip from our house.
We headed to the most popular place in town to eat—-stood in line for a short time (about 15 minutes)
Sat down to a very tasty lunch of pulled pork and sides.
After which we drove around looking at things; making it home at 4:00 P.M., with huge smiles on our faces.
A lovely break in between the work!

Savoring Summer — Tuesday, September 6, 2022
Although the birds are migrating
There are still lots of feathered friends around
The little squirrels are busy gathering and eating and gathering
While our majestic hawk has the challenge of finding food from the sky
The heat has returned to our part of the world, we are reaching triple digits again
Stil the daily work of the farm
And the everyday bliss of Summer goes on.
Of which I am shamelessly
Grateful for.

Autumn —- Monday, September 6, 2021
The hot, hot sunlight is gone, in place is more of a crisp bite in the air in the early morning–a shiver, which often-times ripples over your warm skin.
The day warms to up to show glistening heavy dew on all the plants.
Thankfully, the sun heats the day hot enough it still feels like we have the gift of Summer.
Nighttime is a wee bit darker, even if there is a moon or a slew of a million zillion stars
Daylight starts later, with evening shadows crawling quicker and quicker
Autumn…a different kind of peace is now on the land.

A Wee Ride—Thursday, September 6, 2018
One day last week we took a wee ride; after putting the top on the car 🙂
This was the most darling yard in Ouray, Colorado. I just had to take a photo to share it with you.
As everyone knows, not only is the west burning, we are also in the midst of a terrible drought. Water has been extremely short this year; areas in the up-country (Cedaredge and the North Fork truly suffering for water.)
Here on the farm, we have made due with 60% or less of our allotment (we have shares of Uncompaghre Valley Water).
The horror stories of the shrinking of our dams prompted us to drive up and see…Blue Mesa is extremely low…extremely
Ridgway Dam so low the boat unloading and loading dock is wayyyyy up there.
Everyone is saying if it doesn’t snow this winter…and snow LOTS! In feet of snow…there will be no farming next year.
Very scary!
Still, no matter what, I have hope!

I Thought You Would Like to See—-Wednesday, September 6, 2017
“Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person’s physical, emotional, and mental states.”–Carol Welch
I thought you would like to see where we are in the new building
All done by Terry
And some random help from me—
the would you get me, hand me that, help me lift this up….sort of help.
The real stuff
All created by him!

An Afternoon Like Honey—-Tuesday, September 6, 2016
It was late afternoon yesterday — I was mowing the lawn and Terry was blading the long lane from the house to the county road, when suddenly
Bladen came riding in on the bike!
What a huge delightful surprise. Being the wonderful grandson he is; he finished mowing my lawn for me.
Then the others showed up…Blade kindly helped Linkin along (sigh! ) Hurrying them into the house. Grandpa and I were ecstatic, to say the least.
Then their parents came over—they had all stopped at Aunt Shannon’s first.
All too soon it was time to leave–Misty wanted to buy groceries in Grand Junction, Colorado, before they headed back to Battlement Mesa, Colorado.
What a superb way to spend Labor Day. The fall sun was thick and warm…like honey all glowing with golden light.
Family and friends– the thing that makes our lives rich and full and joyful.
Love,
Linda
I Finally Did It—Sunday, September 6, 2015
And of course I don’t know how to add this photo to my side bar….:(
Anyway I finally did it. It’s available on Blurb.com , if you are interested. The pdf version is reasonable…and the soft cover seems to be in the ball park.
It was a long slog, way over my head in ability, to create the book and get an ISBN number. I’m still not sure if I’ve done everything right. I guess time will tell. I started with what I had already written for the simple reason it it was written. ( I have other stories started, but not finished.)
Soooo I did it. A goal I sat for myself and then wondered if I made the right decision.
Of course life is about always learning…this was a BIG learning curve. That for sure.
Your friend,
Linda
