October for Poetry Jam

October 

The bull can breathe fire

Shadows lengthen

Fruit weeps for spring

We ponder

About life's web

And other things

For Poetry Jam

Just For Today...

more bull!

Red Bull...

power package!

Happy Father's Day

To all with a Father's heart.

AT The Farm

It is a farm,

 even though I rattle about other things...a lot.

We do have cattle and we are in calving time.

The babies are a beauty to behold.

Yellow cow is my favorite.

These are huge cattle but gentle.

The boys are tax money or steaks,

the girls increase the herd.

Our big man, Collateral, watches over all.

And the best part of all,

the grass is beginning to green.

A mild winter, a productive herd, and green grass,

all things a farmer likes to talk about.

Ki-Anne...Cattle Dog

As I related my sad story of Sunday,

I mentioned the great cattle escape.

Never found where they got out

and cut the fence to get them back in.

Herding is coming naturally to my little dynamo.

Ki was even brave enough to heel Collateral.

He's moving in the right direction,

so she scopes the rest of the herd.

These ladies weren't as compliant as the bull.

My Ki moves like lightning!

She is so proud of gathering the herd,

but when the going gets rough...

Ki hides behind me!!!

Got a tad more training to do.

...And Other Times Farming Is A Joy

Spring babies hit the ground

Collateral is our wonder bull.

Happy cows make happy calves.

The Only Green...

in this winter waste land of browns.

Forests of frosts look cold to me

 I've forgotten...

how bad it can be!
