The light is changing. Truly changing.
Summer is starting its migration to the other part of our globe. The nights are creeping longer and longer; the plants and the soil are beginning to sigh.
The animals are ramping up eating and gathering…
It’s all there, even if the heat is still going strong —
“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea. Drink the wild air.”–Ralph Waldo Emerson

I ran to Mom so I could go with her to the field,
We were checking the water for the billionth time of the day (not complaining–cause I like to go)\
Suddenly Dad stopped and said—“Look!”
Snake!
“What a pretty snake,” Mom said.
Dad and I agreed! The off we went–
Golden Hour on the just planted alfalfa field!

I love seeing the water flowing down the ditch. Into the siphon tubes. Then onto the roots of the growing plants.
The sound of the water…moving, moving feeds my soul.

There is plentiful Cheat Grass for when the Cows come—yummy greens to mix with the dried fodder.
And Hollyhocks, hiding in the leaves.
Come March, though, they will be brown and dried waiting for the signal to grow again.
Green is still here—gifting our eyes!
From My world to your heart,

Off we went with Brett and Mariann on a wee trip
Over Owl Creek Pass heading into the SawTooth Mountain Range
It was a perfect day
Full of warmth, color, good friends, and
Stunning tunnels of gold.
We traveled to the Silver Jack Reservoir
Then onto Sero Summit
Our eyes full of colors
And wonderful smells for the doggie’s noses. (Boo Berry went, and their two dogs, Abbie and Shelby)
What a marvelous day for all

Enjoy each strange and simple moment in the magic of each day
Hold onto each and every step, and place them simmering in your memory.
Living is such an enjoyable gift in time.

GRASSHOPPER!!!

In just one day, the week of storms we were surrounded by
Starting blowing away
Bringing in soft fluffy clouds and fresh and gentle earth.

45 minutes to Sunset—when the world has an amazing pink lucent glow—then fades into soft shades of gray—on into the dark of night.
(I love this time of day! Just LOVE it!)
It’s like that goodnight kiss your Momma and Daddy gave you way back when you were a toddler.
A perfect ending to the day, with sweet dreams for the night.
From my world to your heart!
Linda
Since dry dirt is a memory right now
I thought to myself—the rain has left us an amazing
Heartbeat of its own
Well, actually a bazillion heartbeats
A heartbeat of such beauty it surprises me into awe and wonder.
