When Dad goes out to the farm with one of his HUGE, BIG, LOUD machines
Mom goes into her yard, or out by the farm buildings, or into the corrals, or something or other.
The second I hear the back door open and then shut
I know Mom is outside somewhere.
Someplace.
Somewhere.
I stop what I’m doing and start looking for Mom.
Sometimes I look for Mom in a sneaky way—like hide here and there.
Hide under this.
Or that.
Then I walk very quietly to Mom
Sit down and wait for Mom to notice me.
Other times I run down the road
As fast as I can.
Soon as I get to Mom, I start rubbing myself all along her legs.
Either way, Mom always stops and gives me really nice rubs and pets
Then Mom ‘gets to work’
Sometimes that means dragging the hose all over the lawn
Or loading up the wheel barrels with shovels, rakes, and the hoe
Other times it means Mom sits down on the side of the flowerbeds and starts grabbing the weeds
No matter what Mom starts doing I hang around with her
I hang around
And around
And—
This is so sooooo boring.
I don’t mind waiting and waiting if there is a mouse to torment
catch
But just laying in the shade, under a big leaf, waiting on Mom
IS—-
I’m done!
See you later, there are things to do, and mice to catch!

OMGoodness, CC. You have a good mouse-killing score. I think hanging with your mom could be very entertaining and a great way to learn more about farm life.
Love and licks,

Yes. When you sign into WP, you should be taken to your control panel or a landing page (call it what you will). You should see various widgets with recent posts, recent comments, site hits stats, popular post hits…stuff like that. On that page, at the top left, you should see the button that says “Reader.”
