The full moon of hot summer nights
Breaking free of a gap in the clouds—
The world is made of silver!

What a wonderful, beautiful world (we have) the internet connecting us to friends far and wide.
Sending you this gorgeous rainbow that came to our house after a thunderstorm yesterday.
Enjoy!
Lots of love,
Genevieve and Cupcake 





Oh! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, ever so much!

I get this “Scatter” thing, Boo Berry Betty. I always scatter when there is a HUGE BIG MOTOR somewhere close.
I mean like RUUUUUUUUUUUUN! Is the word.
And RUN to the house is the answer.
Hiding in the house is the only way to go.
BUT—
Sometimes in the house—
MOM does the unthinkable!!!
SHE VACUUMS!!!
When that happens you and I have to
SCATTER!!!

Not so long ago–we were enjoying days that lasted long, long, long
And now our days are shortening—
heading us closer to that time of little daylight
But for, right now, in August—we are experiencing heat! Oh, how I love Summer,
But, for the first time EVER!
The heat is doing me in.
Sigh!

“Boo Berry Betty,” Mom called.
“Come now. The hens need to get out and go scratch around.
Come On. Leave them alone.”
What?!?! Stop? I haven’t even started.
I’m just standing here in front of the chicken house, not doing anything.
“Boo Berry,” Mom swooped down and picked me up.
“No herding chickens until I tell you.”
Off we went to the sidewalk.
Then Mom put me down.
“Here you go. Stay around here and play.”
Then Mom went to mow the lawn and I
RAN TO THE HOUSE
BIG MOTORS SCARE ME
“IN MOM! IN!”
Whew, Thank Heavens.
In. Mom can do her thing WITHOUT ME!!!
