Good Morning

Good Night, My Friend. 

 
Actually I’m ready for the Winter Solstice when the days start getting longer.  I am a lover of daylight, and find winter’s long nights S.A.D. 
 
 
 

 

Black Canyon

Kath and Daryl   http://hafdozenreasons.blogspot.com/  stopped by on their way home to South Dakota, and I must say what a great time we had.
Terry took us to the Black Canyon; then they came and looked over the farm and the farm equipment.
Terry got to ride in the semi and I got take a peak inside [...]

I Stand All Amazed

Where we live I can walk right out of the corrals and take photos of some of the most beautiful mountain ranges in Colorado

Grand Mesa, the largest flat top mountain in the world, to the north of us

Green Mountain
 

Ragged Mountains
 

Paonia Mountains, with the Saddle Mountain in the foreground
 

Gunnison Mountain Range

San Juan Mountain Range

John Deere Combine(s)

Terry is after a little bit bigger combine, which is diesel powered!  He has now found just the right one! If everything goes right Saturday we will be the new owners of ‘new to us’ combine.

Delta’s Parade of Lights

Bladen and Linkin got to ride in the Parade of Lights.  When they saw me they yelled “Hi, Grammy!”

 Although wasn’t green, red worked well also!

He hired our neighbor and his backhoe to come fix it.
What.A.Job!
First he had to [...]

Rhode Island Red Roosters

Aren’t they just the best?  They are gentle, kind to their hens (I have two roosters and 15 hens) and randomly try to be a bigger rooster than my husband and I.  So far they are still lower than us on the pecking order.

One of the roosters likes to stand up here and keep guard.  [...]

Irrigation Water

Our irrigation water is turned off and on yearly.  We start getting water as soon as someone calls for it, or for sure by March 30th

Then the last week of October it is turned off
 

Winter is sad and lonely without the sparkling sound of water flowing down the canal toward Grand Junction

Rain, Rain and More Rain

We have a storm coming in AGAIN!  I guess it is winter, oops late fall, but ….I really was enjoying the sun.  The storm is supposed to hit here this evening with blowing rain and snow.
This is the storm getting closer and closer to us.  You can see Hay Stack Mountain in the clouds.  [...]
