The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty on Friday—-Big Exciting Day, Friday, October 21, 2022
I GOT TO GO!!!
Mom and Dad and Shannon and
Black Beauty and
Kia and
ME!! ME! MYSELF! And I!!!
We all got to go check fences and build fences.
It was wonderful!
WONDERFUL!
Mom said she had to watch me carefully because I am so little.
I don’t get why; I just did what the big girls did!
There was so much stuff to learn about—Kia found something really exciting in the corn field—she barked and barked and barked at it.
I didn’t go with her, I stayed with Black Beauty.
Then Black Beauty found us something yummy to eat. HUMMMM
Shannon yelled at her and took it away. When she took the yummy from Black Beauty, she took my morsel away from me.
“We don’t need you throwing up later,” Shannon explained.
We moved through Rabbit Brush, Chico’s,
cattails, up rocky hills, across grasses pastures— it was wonderful.
JUST WONDERFUL!
TRA LA LA LA LA!!!

(P.S. Some photos are from the archives, I wasn’t very good at taking lots of photos when there was so much to do. Sorry! But it does give you an idea of everything we did. 🙂 )
Complete Stillness —- Thursday, October 20, 2022
There is a moment (a short period of time)
As the sun rapidly sets
And the shadows gather together, growing long and deep
For a short, short spell
The light changes into the most lovely of colors— lavender
Then it is gone in the blink of an eye, in one beat of the heart, but for just a moment it’s there.
For all to experience and enjoy.
From my world to your heart,

What Are Friends For —- Wednesday, October 19, 2022
Shannon and her rehabilitated Mule, LaVerne. LaVerne was treated extremely poorly throughout her life. But Shannon has taught her people can be kind (it took a full year) and that Shannon IS kind. Today she rides and packs and loves on Shannon.
Bruce (on T’Ata) and Lenard (on Glory Bee)
Took time out of their busy day to come over and ride horses with Shannon.
Once a horseman always a horseman.
Thanks, Guys, everyone seemed to have lots of fun!

Flowing, Flowing, Flowing —- Tuesday, October 18, 2022
This is our canal, heading toward the Gunnison River, then onto the Colorado River—then to Lake Mead.
Flowing, flowing swiftly by.

Another Something Unusual — Monday, October 17, 2022
When out walking, Boo Berry and I,
I came across this strange footprint?!
Is it a footprint? Or were three rocks removed?
I wonder which.

I Delight in Shadows —- Sunday, October 16, 2022
Sometimes, while I do chores around the place,
Or am fixing food
I marvel at the beauty of all the shadows coloring our world.
Shadows so wonderful and deep, and heavy
I am sure you will marvel at them as I do.
Shadows and light
Moving across our day and into the night
The shadows of Autumn are different than the other seasons.
Shadows with a sky so clearly blue it sometimes hurts one’s eyes, the shadows seem even darker and more defined.
Shadows—that’s what I’ve been thinking of and wanting to share with you. Those wonderful deep dark shadows defining the ever-changing light.

The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai and Boo Berry —SCATTER— Chapter 12, Friday, October 14, 2022
“I want in—Don’t you TLC Cai-Cai?”
“Yeah.”
“I want in now!”
“Well, I think you are going to have to wait.” TLC Cai-Cai replied with all the wisdom of a cat.
“Why? Where is Mom? Where is Dad?”
“Let me look” TLC Cai-Cai responded. “Inside. Dad is inside.”
“I WANT IN NOW———HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
“Oh, hush! Mom is out here somewhere. Dad is inside. He doesn’t listen when you cry.”
BAM!
“WOW! What was THAT?!” Mom asked as she came around the corner with her wheelbarrow.
Suddenly Dad was at the back door.
“WHAT was THAT?” We all asked Dad.
“It sounded like a gun!” Mom exclaimed.
“It was—Dove season has begun. And our new neighbors are sighting in their guns.” Dad explained.
BAM!
“Oh, geez, Get in the house quick, Fur Kids…. guns and little animals don’t mix AT ALL!”
Mom opened the door.
You know the rest of the story—run inside and SCATTER to our favorite places to hide!

P.S. This is the end of SCATTER. Story Over. TLC Cai-Cai 😊
In the Hum of the Night — Thursday, October 13, 2022
That lovely, lovely full
October moon —filling the earth with its own delightful
Heartbeat.
Causing a unsettling feeling, a yearning of sorts
Pressing down …putting its silver weight on our shoulders causing our souls to stop and listen.
A beautiful experience — hard to explain, but wonderful to have it happen.
From my world to your heart,

The Crush of Migration — Wednesday, October 12, 2022
Later on in the day, I noticed this little bird, tail down, eyes closed. At first, I thought it might be a hawk, but now I think it is just a tired bird resting.
You can click on the dashboard and see the amazing migration going on in your area.
Did you know that scientists have proven that birds can see
The Earth’s magnetic fields and this is how they migrate?!
Pretty neat, I do believe!
