Back in the time— not so long ago
There was GREEN!
And warmer days
Even now the world is full of news
But before when there was green, there were lots of leaves to run around in that aren’t all matted down.
Yep, Mom and I love Spring, Summer, and Fall colors!
Winter’s colors are a tad drab.

Some things scare me!
But not like things used to scare me.
I can do lots and lots of things now
Without being terrified clear to my soul
I can help Mom
And I can go do things by myself,
Without, Mom, Dad or TLC
(T’Ata and Glory are in the back with LAVEREN the wonderful Mule )
But I can’t seem to conquer my fear of BIG TALL ANIMALS!!!
I always, always, always run home and try to get in, even if Mom is still out there doing something!
Boo Berry Betty
Mom grabbed me up and loaded me into the pick-up with Dad and off we went
OH! MY! GOSH! HUGE! GIANT! ANIMALS!!! I sat on the pick-up seat and refused to get out!
Did I say HUGE!!!
THEY ARE HUGE!!!
Boo Berry
Well, well, well, looks what has arrived on the farm!
Guess I had better be careful to not get around all those hooves.
TLC
WOOF! WOOF! Come on Mom! We want in, too many big things on the farm!

(Back when we had snow)
Last night, around midnight,
(When we had snow)
The world took a breath and held it-
Then the sun came up this morning—
2023 exhaled and we became
2024!
Happy New Year Everyone!
Terry, Linda, TLC Cai-Cai and Boo Berry Betty Brown
I know it was cold—12* yesterday and colder (feel) today.
It doesn’t matter
I have stuff to do
“HURRY MOM! YOU ARE SLOWING US DOWN!”
OH! MINE!
“COME SEE MOM!!!”
“Those are leaves, TLC”, Mom exclaimed
So?
Let’s Run through the leaves–Boo Berry
“OKAY!!!” Boo Berry replied
Oh! WAIT! I SEE SOMETHING!
“Nothing, TLC, Just leaves! But that works for me!!” Boo Berry announced.
“Time to come in”, Mom said!
Not just yet, I replied.
“Me either,” Boo Bery sat down in the thin light of the sun. “Me either”
So into the house, all by herself went Mom.
TLC and Boo Berry
From all this to mud.
Mom says we just have to be patient
At least all the snow you see above it gone and now we just have MUD!
TLC and Boo Berry
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.
TLC
(and Boo Berry)
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.
Boo Berry
I did my part also. Pats always make the day go better for everyone.
TLC
HEY BOO BERRY!!!
Yes, TLC
Got anything interesting happening?
Nope, Just stuff
Let me see
Okay…lots of news: stray dogs, feral cats, lots of raccoons, FOX, Wiley E coyote(s)
REALLY?!
I’ll just hang out with you (and Mom) much safer that way.
