We haven’t had snow like this for a long time. It’s pretty! Then there come marks in it.

SNOW! In Them There Hills, Thursday, November 20, 2025
The storm left snow on Grand Mesa and all the big mountain ranges surrounding us. Winter has arrived up there!

Red-winged Blackbirds Singing in the Cottonwood Trees
I love how they stopped by for a last little song
Singing a song for all of us

The Whispers from our Earth—The Essence of the Sky, Thursday, June 5, 2025
There upon the earth the birds dance in the air, and sing in the trees
They send us a strength that fills our hearts with love
The lacy of their wings fills our memories
Then lift our imagination to rise above our everyday thoughts
The sunlight tips those fragile but powerful wings so delightfully that the air seems to shiver
Even the magnificent but deadly
Lifts up wonder—leaving behind that groan of drudgery we sometimes feel
Courtships whispers everywhere
In land and in the air.
Beauty whispers from the magic of our world.
Sings to us everywhere!
(Tiny quail—male on the branch keeping a lookout…females searching for bugs)
We are so blessed—you and I—truly.
Cynefin (n): A place that feels like home

Ah, Wind—The Bringer of Winter Storms and Cold Fronts, Thursday, January 23, 2025
It’s been cold here—just like it has been cold where you are.
Wintertime wind is the worst (to me) part of winter. It seems to gallop through the trees causing the leaves still attached to rattle and shake—reminding us of summer past.
Brrr—it’s cold…But by tomorrow we are to warm up!
I am ready!

Sometimes, Sometimes, — Thursday, January 16, 2025
As we age we realize how important it is to talk very carefully— for feelings can be hurt and destroyed by our careless acts and words.
We also understand that it’s time to forgive ourselves and set our lives free—of those painful things we wish we had done better/differently in the past. Time to stop being a prisoner of memory, fear, even disappointment—those things can’t be changed.
We can now open the window and let the sad pour out and the wonderful beautiful world pour in.
No more self-sabotaging thoughts!
Not for you.
Not for me.
Not for any of us.
2025 is a gift we get to enjoy—- each moment, each step of the way.

Be Kind—Always, Thursday, January 2, 2025
In a world where (sometimes) one can get caught up in the worry, the fear, and everyday traumas
(for no matter what—problems happen to the just and the unjust)
If we approach the problem with kindness, we may not solve it, but at least we didn’t make it worse.

Speak Slowly with Slower Thoughts, Thursday, October 3, 2024
My Daddy always said: “Think! Before you open your mouth!”
I sometimes have trouble with this—as he well knew.
The impulse was there, the thought came into my mind just as swiftly left my mouth.
It’s been a hard lesson to learn.
Think slowly, and talk your thoughts even slower.
I try to practice this concept constantly.

all the lives to be and
are full of trees and changing leaves.”– Virginia Woolf

And—-EVEN the, Thursday, September 12, 2024
Not only are the birds flocking together and moving through, (these are not the Swallows but another bird)
And the sky loudly proclaiming CHANGE
Even the snakes are restless….moving here and there, eating as much as possible, not shedding (the growing time is over), they are starting to gather to ‘den up’.
Here is a quote from good ole trusty Google: “Unlike many warm-blooded animals, snakes don’t actually hibernate in the winter. Instead, snakes go into a state known as brumation where snakes become less active and their metabolism slows down tremendously. Brumation is similar to hibernation in that snakes will sleep for long periods of time.”
They seem to be everywhere right now, heading to wherever they want to call home.
