The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-You and Me and a Dog Named Boo, July 1, 2022
Mom said I needed a dog.
Mom said she needed a dog.
Mom said Dad needed a dog.
Who would have thought?
I don’t mind dogs. Actually, I like dogs. All dogs any dogs.
So, guess what?!
I have a dog! Of which I am bigger.
Who would have thought?
Anyway, this is Boo Betty. She came to Mom from a friend of hers and Dad. Boo needed a new home.
Mom said we were dog-less.
Therefore, I now have my own dog friend (of which I am the boss) and the family has a dog and Boo Betty has US!!
(Oh, by the way, Boo Betty has chosen Dad. I have Mom, Boo has Dad, and we all have each other!)

When Least Expected —- Thursday, June 30, 2022
I just love this spot
Ah…toasty on the toes
Warm sun on the feathers
Fluff, ruffle, settle
Yes, I think I’ll—
Settle down for a wee warm
SCRAM! This is MINE!!!

In the Shadows of Big White Fluffy Clouds — Wednesday, June 29, 2022
A random assortment of wildlife
Quail doing his mating dance
DUCK! WASP!
A Dust Devil playing across the farm
The songs of the Red-Winged Blackbirds fill the air
Sunlight through little bunny ears
Art from the Earth—a rock flower
Searching, searching
Shimmering beautifully, deadly in the air
Moonlight grass
Moon (and Star?)
Mr. Pheasant running down the lane
Bird shadows
The beauty of Tail and wings
Gifts of love everywhere

We Had a Small Brief —- Tuesday, June 28, 2022
We had a bunch of wind
That kicked up a huge fuss
But right after the wind finished it’s tantrum
We got ourselves a lovely little rain.

You Just THINK You Want Me to Go WITH You —- Monday, June 27, 2022
You just think I’m going with you.
I don’t Care if T’Ata and Glory Bee are going!
You aren’t going to make me go
EVER!!!
Get this through your head…
I only go if I WANT to go! said LaVerne the Mule as she dashed this way and that.
So, that is what happened. LaVerne stayed home (and bawled and cried and ran up and down in the pasture)
While T’Ata and Glory Bee went for a nice long walk-about.
LaVerne the Mule—guess what? There is a saying: “Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face.”
Nose? Nose? Why would I cut off my nose? LaVerne puzzled.
Oh, muley girl, you just don’t get it.

The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Farm Adventures, MOTH, June 24, 2022
Mom and I had just come out of the house
Where I had been eating BREAKFAST!!!
I go out early, early in the morning
Just at Daybreak
Not Daylight
Daybreak!
Why so early?
Gosh, there are things to do
Stuff to see
And MICE to catch!
Anyway,
Mom and I came out the backdoor together
Mom going over to feed the Humming Birds
And I, to walk with Mom
WHEN I SAW
What is it?
Just as I saw IT, so did Mom
I saw Mom put her hand down by the It
Then
No more IT
I wonder what happened to IT?
Oh, well, gone.

On Saturday — Wednesday, June 22, 2022
Terry loaded up the 730
Very Carefully
Almost there
Tied it down
And headed
To the tractor pull.
It was lots of fun.
