What a huge surprise!
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.

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!

Hushed Misty Raindrops — Sunday, November 19, 2023
We woke up Thursday morning to a slightly damp world.
The moisture was much appreciated! It didn’t last long or really get things overly wet.
Still, it was very nice. By noon the wind had set the clouds to dancing across the land, drying up all the tiny misty raindrops.
All in all, it was rather refreshing!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Helping Dad, Friday, November 17, 2023
Mom and I have been helping Dad
For some strange reason, some of the wires on the gate were cut—so Dad had to fix them.
Then some wires on the fence next to the gate were cut—so Dad fixed them.
Then we hung a new gate! Sure is nice.
When we all drove by the pastures and looked them over—Nice! Dad proclaimed
Then it was home again after a good day’s work.

I did my part also. Pats always make the day go better for everyone.

The Hushed Whispers of Falling Leaves — Thursday, November 16, 2023
If I stand really still — no working, no raking, no moving here and there
The falling leaves brush softly against me.
I love it!
