Navigating in a Storm — Wednesday, 29, 2023
Grass Shadow–
My! was Saturday ever cold! A skiff of snow, but the wind! Oh! My! The Wind! Right off the North Pole and heavy/hard.
I’m sure it’s heading across the States for others to feel the chill. 😦
Gradually we started warming up (a bit), thankfully!

A teeny tiny bit of Spring!
And a wee joy for my eyes to see!

SOON! Very, very Soon —Sunday, November 26, 2023
Out we went—to the cornfields
We gathered enough ears to run through the moisture meter at Foster Farm (that is where we sell the corn, so our corn needs to meet the moisture content of their meter)
Boo Berry helped. She is a big helper! 🙂
Almost all the ears are pointing to the ground —- 15%, as soon as the moisture drops to 14% we begin!!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-The Day After Thanksgiving, Friday, November 24, 2023
Mom said she was too full from yesterday and needed a wee walkabout.
So off we all went–to look at this and that
We searched for mice, and grasshoppers, and walked here and there.
Then it was home again, home again, home again.
Walkabouts are fun! Sometimes I don’t even have to walk.

(and Boo Berry)

Dazzling the earth and my eyes!
A sweet little jewel shining bright and full of splendor
A gift from the Earth to my soul!
From my world to your heart,

Gone for the Winter — Tuesday, November 21, 2023
The canal is now turned off
No more water flowing rapidly to the Gunnison River.
It will stay turned off until the last week in March when irrigation starts again.

The Day Begins—-Monday, November 20, 2023
We get up now BEFORE the sun scatters our dreams
With the time change the sun is different upon waking. But farmers, being farmers (and ranchers) always work from the grey part of day to the grey part of night.
Seeing the sun wake up and rise after we start is a rather cool treat!
