The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-OH! MY! GOSH!, Friday, March 21, 2025
“Boo Berry!!!
This doesn’t look good! Let’s hurry home and see what is happening! ” Mom cried as she picked me up and sat me in my car seat.
“Oh! My! Gosh! 
Get in the house TLC and Boo Berry! Our neighbor is burning his cornfields!: Mom ran us to the house and put us inside.
Later we learned Dad and Mom were out there making sure nothing sparked over our way.
It all turned out okay…but boy, that was scary for a spell!

Well, he’s been at it for a spell.
I’m sure you are not surprised.
Me either.
And so—-

Another year of farming.
When it’s in your blood—
it’s in your blood. (Thank heavens I have real shoes now!)

The Song of March’s Wind—Tuesday, March 18, 2025
Flinging weeds and dirt and messing up hair!
Love you March— the wind brings sap up in the trees, shakes the branches of bushes telling them to awake and helps
Tell the earth it’s time for things to pop up and grow!

Ah, March—You are Such a Trickster! —- Sunday, March 16, 2025
A winter storm blew in over the weekend—taking away the warmth of the ALMOST SPRING sun…bringing with it a hint of moisture and the song of a heavy duty March wind.
I am okay with all of that—because AT SOME POINT the thaw will come and so will SPRING weather!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-News!!! Friday, March 14, 2025
Mom is now in a regular tennis shoe, or a hiking boot, or — another hard-sole, thick sided shoe!
She says she can hardly wait for FLIP FLOPS
She has to wear the boot if her foot starts to feel extremely tired. I’ll bet that is a rare thing for mom. (Just say’n)
Another exciting thing is the American Tree Sparrows are back!! They like to get in the tip-top of the Cottonwood trees and SING LOUD!!
We all rejoice when we hear them.
SPRING IS STARTING to HAPPEN!!
TLC, Boo Berry and MOM!
Our Job Then —- Thursday, March 13, 2025
It is to learn to thrive no matter what is thrown at you.
Stash the melancholy, but move to a bit of a different song.
This weekend, I will move to permanent hiking boot(s), or hard-soled tennis shoes. Things are progressing right along. Different shoes, whole days ahead (for two weeks) then — hopefully — my foot has healed correctly and I’m good to go again
(this was plucked from my archives—no snow here right now )
FLIP FLOPS!!! I HOPE!!! I can hardly wait!!

Go Outside—Sit Quietly—Relax—-Wednesday, March 12, 2025
Mom and I and Boo Berry like to go outside and sit still—in the sunshine if we can find it.
Once we find the sunshine–the world falls away and everything slows down. Until it’s just us–resting in the sun.
TLC for Mom and Boo Berry
