There! Just There
Waiting for human eyes to see
The signal we are heading into more and chillier, and ever colder winter weather.
A Sun Dog!

Get Ready! Get Ready! The sky proclaims!
Winter is coming!
A beautiful Sundog in the eastern sky!
Proclaiming COLD, Cold weather is on its way
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Still, I want to tell and show you again
45 minutes before the sun sets
All the blemishes on the earth
And in the air
Change to Pink!
It’s so stunning and
And beautiful
I have to be outside in it!
No matter how cold it is. (or how cold it is going to get—Sundog)
I want to be outside in a rose-colored world!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
A very brilliant rainbow
hovered RIGHT there by us.
Actually, the tail end of TWO rainbows were in the sky— Rainbows in the East
And a sundog in the west!
WOW! We were double blessed!

Thursday evening I had gone out to bring Terry in from the fields; I walked back Watching the cheerful and energetic flocks of the Sandhill Cranes
and the gleaming sun lowering behind the Uncompahgre Plateau
When I noticed a sudden ray of light; rainbow colors brightening the chill of the sky.
A cacophony of colors announcing a Sundog!
True to the Sundog’s prediction…Sunday we woke to a very wet skiff of snow and much, much colder weather. With a horrid cold wind.
But it didn’t last. Not this time of year.
And it brought moisture to the dry ground. Which is all very good.

We have been clearing the pasture of old and dead tree stumps and branches.
Where we saw a sundog in the early, early morning sky
Shared the farm with the masses and masses of Sandhill Cranes (YAY)
Quail, a large Jack Rabbit (of whom I didn’t get a photo), and mice.
But, one of the neat things the fire gave us
Was a Heart Rock. So hot I had to lift it carefully, with the rake, and place it in a snowbank to cool down.
A heart from the fire!
How neat is that?!

Grace and her two little sidekicks, Polk and Dottie
Had a terrible disaster
Steal up upon them
Danger stalked Grace and Polk and Dottie sometime on a warm late Autumn day.
With loving memory of an amazing bird and her two little hens.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
Our early morning skies are full of clouds….lots of clouds
Gradually the tumbling clouds break apart
Slowly ever so slowly
Clearing the skies—Causing sunlight to flood across the land
That is when I saw it! a sundog! Heralding the call that much colder weather will soon slither its way
And unfurl upon our area.
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
Linda
We ride out daily now…
Checking the cows
Keeping count,
Making sure the cows are comfortable with us
Checking fences (and gates)
Overhead the Canada Geese keep us company
We have a NEW little one—very early. But, for some reason or other, there always seems to be one cow who springs a surprise.
Last night I saw a Sundog…colder weather on its way.
