In the Glittering of the September Full Moon — Tuesday, September 9, 2025

(This is looking into the west)

I was taking a wee walkabout, enjoying the shadowing of the earth from the setting sun and the gift of a rising full moon

(Taken with my phone—-it’s not the best, but oh, well.)

A brilliant, brilliant, moon — if a little bit of cloudy, sky. (This is to the east)

 

(This was too the west) When

 

silently overhead an owl, went hunting by.  (No dog or cat was with me, thankfully)

GIFTS!!! Glimmers! Huge delights all rolled into one!

The Last of the baby swallows

Have left their warm and comfortable little nest—

Only returning at night.  Still just teenagers—needing a bit of comfort before tackling the world.

They were raised over our backdoor.  Every time I go in or out I got to watch them as they grew.

Making me smile all the while.

(This makes their parents terribly nervous, but, oh, well, I have enjoyed being part of their little baby lives.)

Soon, they will blend in with the others…making it difficult to ever know who is who again.

Such a distinctly joyful experience!

There is something just marvelous

About

Birds!

Just so you know.

Although, Mom says I like them for the wrong reasons.

Not really, Mom.

I like them because they are….

DO NOT EVEN THINK OF IT!!! Mom yelled at me.

Shish!

Hummmm I like them because they have lift off

They can fly

AND THEY CAN

SCATTER!  

They did, lift-off,

and they did

Scatter.

Sigh

Here and There, the Bugs Fill the Air — Thursday, September 9, 2021

The sky is shot-through with bugs, this time of year

Their little bodies are caught in your hair, on your face, and smashed on your glasses

Sometimes they like to sting you

Diving right to you—————-RUN, I think, but instead I snap a photo 🙂

Then taking off like a speeding plane

I mean…after all…I have to see if I can get a photo.

I think you know me well enough by now. 🙂

Some of my photos

Deserve their very own post

They are so full of beauty

Drama

And

Poetry.

I just had to give them their own space!

A Gift from Sweden—Monday, September 9, 2019

Fall is singing its familiar song—warm, gusty days, then a cooldown of coat-wearing chill

The last irrigations are starting to take place

But, still, a joyful sign, is an Autumn Rainbow all the way from Sweden.

“Hello, Linda! Here is a rainbow for you from Sweden! Have a good sunny autumn! Greetings from Asta 😊“

Not just one rainbow, but a DOUBLE rainbow! Twice the beauty and joy all at once.

Thank you so much, Asta!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

2018 Pinto Bean Harvest —-Sunday, September 9,2018

The pinto beans are finally dry enough we started the harvesting process.

Off we went (Boomer and me on the four-wheeler, Terry in the grain truck) until we arrived at the in-place combine.

The earth was warm, the air hot to scorching, and the dust flying out of the back of the combine as the dry plants were lifted up, shelled and loaded into the hopper….while the broken stems and pods were crushed and flung out the back.

Then later in the day…late afternoon, a surprise rainbow appeared.

We took a wee break as the daytime dissolved into the night.  Setting the water for the still green and growing corn field.

Then we went back to the field continuing until full dark.

Glorious Harvest!  No one could ask for more.

Finished—Wednesday, September 9, 2015

Wood-2We finally got all the firewood we ‘think’ we will need for the coming winter.

Wood-1We’ve hauled, stacked, loaded, sorted, and arranged.  We have some logs out by the machine shed for the stove out there.

Our son said he heard that winter was going to come upon us suddenly and last a very long time.

TasselsOnly time will tell.

It was the coldest night so far last night. We woke up to 45*.  The dew is thick upon the grasses and weeds.   The air has a decided turn about it.

Still there is the everlasting light that surrounds us and the farm, bathing all with the start of a new day, or the closing of the old one.

Softly each day brings with it the sheer ordinariness, which is a comfort to the soul.

 

 

As always, your friend on a western Colorado farm,
