I ran to Mom so I could go with her to the field,
We were checking the water for the billionth time of the day (not complaining–cause I like to go)\
Suddenly Dad stopped and said—“Look!”
Snake!
“What a pretty snake,” Mom said.
Dad and I agreed! The off we went–
Golden Hour on the just planted alfalfa field!
Your friend on a western Colorado farm,
Boo Berry Betty and MOM!
There is lots and lots of stuff going on
Our second hayfield is getting cut, even while Mom writes this letter to you.
We have hay in the haystack yard
And hay customers arriving to take away the hay
I bark the hay pick-ups and trailers into the yard and out of the yard
Then I go sit under our trailer and watch all the goings on
Add to all of that there is the changing of the water
Which causes several trips out to the farm
Then Mom has to do her own yard and housework. I Help Mom whatever she is doing.
Yep!
It’s a busy, busy time of the year!

A repeat of this
Has been going on and on
I’m getting tired of this.
It’s hard to look dashing and handsome in the wind!

MOM! It’s cold outside. I don’t care that it’s green and warm looking it is still cold!
Well, let’s go in then and get you warm. 🙂
(We’ve been having a cold, cold front move through. It is very cold. I’m ready for it to warm back up — so is Boo Berry)
TLC loves it colder!

I was busy just doing my thing—
When Mom Yelled—-
Come with me, Boo Berry—
Come on!!
Hurry! Hurry! We have a RAINBOW!!
The very first of the season!
Okay!
That is a good thing?
Yes! It is, Mom said. Bending down to pet me. Yes, it is!
I think anything that gets Mom petting me is a good thing. 🙂

HURRY MOM! COME!

BIRD! FIGHT!!!

We’ve been helping Mom and Dad make cement for the incoming ditches
It was a gradual process because Mom and Dad stirred up the cement themselves
They worked on it for a long, long time
TLC waited in the weeds…Me I moved all around looking and smelling. It was great fun!
We helped and we rested and we helped —whatever Mom and Dad did we were involved!
DONE!
We just wait for it to cure, Dad says.
Mom says we are great helpers!
TLC and Boo Berry
Seems like there is always, always
Something to do outside!
Dad is always outside—sometimes in the farm yard, sometimes on the farm land
Mom is outside most of time
So we go with her! (and each other)
Mom says we are the bestest of helpers. Always close to hand, always right where she is working
Mom says that way she doesn’t get lonely!
TLC and Boo Berry
It’s been cold here
Why just Wednesday, we woke up to fog and snow
Mom told me she loves FOG!
Me?
As long as my hunting doesn’t get slowed down—I don’t care WHAT we get!
