A Gossamer Like Day—Sunday, April 13, 2025

Posted on April 13, 2025 by Dayphoto

The evening was just perfect last night. A slight breeze (enough for a jacket), the sun like gossamer on the earth; tangling upon Boo Berrys’ fur, new alfalfa leaves and in my hair.

Everything is so simple and beautiful! A magical moment that slides by too fast as good things seem to do.

Back home TLC greeted us—he (also) ready to go in from his perfect day. 🙂

Mom said we are getting closer and closer to starting the water on the farm

There are just a few things left to do—

Mark out all the fields—the alfalfa fields

The corn fields

and fix the gated pipe

Gated pipe always, always, always walks apart over the winter.

And make the ditches (and clean the ditches) Gosh, there’s lots left to do. But much closer.

Once those things are done—

Then, we go out to check/change the furrows twice daily (maybe more often).

Until it’s harvest time in the fall.

Boo Berry, Mom’s helper all the way

Good, you do that—-I’ll protect the farm!!!

We had WIND!!! Lots of wind. It made a dust like Dada is making dust.

Hurt my eyes, so I had to go into the house.

Then it started to rain—

It was hard working with Mom in the rain

Then the hard snow came. And Came. and Came.

And the temperatures dropped to 23* at night.

It gradually warmed up—-

But staying outside was HORRID!!!

“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!

Go Outside—Sit Quietly—Relax—-Wednesday, March 12, 2025

Posted on March 12, 2025 by Dayphoto

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
