Another fire! Not far from the first one!
Smoke fills the rim of our sky and sometimes the whole sky.
Mom says there are other worse fires out there in the world.
What we all need right now is RAIN!
Without lightning and thunder.
Boo Berry and TLC
Yep! Us!
I had sat the game camera down (heading out to the corn field to see if I can photo the deer).
These two wanted in—so I helped them by opening the door! 🙂

That is the fire! Scary isn’t it?
We don’t like the fire. Or the horrible smoke from the fire.
The fire report says it has grown to —-way over 3,000 acres
And still growing.
Scary stuff.
Boo Berry and TLC
There is a huge fire 12 miles from us—see the smoke haze in the horizon?
It’s sunny, hot, and very windy—not a help for the firefighters
It is a fire on the Uncompahgre Plateau
It’s called the Little Mesa Fire. 60 firefighters plus helicopters to dump water; all trying to contain the fire.
It was started by lightning.
Fire! Is Aways Scary!
Always,
Boo Berry Betty Brown and TLC Cai-Cai
Hummmm
There is something up there
Maybe…
I can
“NO!” Mom yelled. “YOU STOP THAT, TLC!!!!”
(Dang it!)
TLC
Apollo in the back, Loki in the front.
It’s taken me a long time to accept other dogs. I can finally do so with these two.
Boo Berry
I’ve always liked company—dogs of all types.
(It’s cats I don’t like) TLC
Black Beauty is COOL!!!
(We think we should have some! TLC and Boo Berry)
It is HOT! Mom! HOT!
I NEED IN! MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
Hot isn’t too bad…I can do hot! I just hang in the shade.
What I can’t do is the wind!!!
Hot and WIND! I need in, also!
(We need rain…to settle the dust and to cool us down. It can rain anytime now, but come next week—no, rain—we will be cutting the alfalfa for the second time this year)

It has been busy, busy, busy around here
Busy enough I have to hide–
-because there is a tractor and a big truck involved
In and out of the yard
Trip after trip after trip
Three days worth
It was exhausting just trying to hide in the house from the big truck
And hiding from all the loud noise and big tires—exhausting!
Finally, Dad announced at lunch-LAST LOAD for the year, coming up
Mom said: “That was as hard as finally getting all the woodcut and moved.”
Done! Dad announced at the end of the third day! DONE!
Whew!
TLC and
Boo Berry YAY! DONE!
A Happy Fourth of July!!!
