There, flying overhead
The delightful Canada Geese
Lifting my heart to fly with them.
Up there! Way Up there in the sky!

More Wood Stories, Monday, December 19, 2022
Cliff and Kimi bought a quarter of that huge semi-load of firewood!
So —we all (Cliff, Kimberly, Terry, and I) loaded up 5 1/2 cords of firewood and took it over to Cliff and Kimberly’s house.
This way they can cut it there and not have to come all the way out to the farm!
YAY! for them and for us and the shrinking woodpile!

Light, Morning and Night, Sunday, December 18, 2022
And while we have Pink light for evening–fat, full wonderful Pink light.
In the very thin air, as the sun starts to think about getting out of bed. Our world turns blue.
The Thin time.

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-A Dogs Purpose as I Understand It—,Friday, December 16, 2022
I’ve been here since June.
It’s taken me a while to understand what I am supposed to do
Before it was: be pregnant, then meet the boy, then be pregnant again.
Now THAT is finished and done with.
So—here is my New purpose in life—
Guard Mom and Dad and sometimes TLC Cai-Cai. (Just sometimes)
I follow Mom everywhere!
And I do mean EVERYWHERE!
I growl at the door when something or someone strange is there
I’ve learned to help put up the chickens — only when Mom tells me too
And I have enjoyed immensely going on walks with Mom.
I have grown to the place I can go outside by myself for a short while. Not long I get worried about Mom and the house, and my soft beds.
But Still.
I haven’t learned how to sit on a lap and relax yet, but I do like to ride on Mom’s lap in the truck and look outside.
Oh! Yes! And I love going in my little blue box for rides on the four-wheeler.
Mom says I am getting better and better about learning how to
Just be a dog!
YAY! ME!

Sharp and Sure in the Cloudy Skies —- Thursday, December 15, 2022
There! Just There
Waiting for human eyes to see
The signal we are heading into more and chillier, and ever colder winter weather.
A Sun Dog!

Our Day to Day to Day —- Wednesday, December 14, 2022
Each and every day, two to three times a day
This is what we have been doing
The pile is growing smaller
and smaller and the wood piles at everyone’s homes are growing larger and larger.
Life is good.

Good Night My Dear Friends — Tuesday, December 13, 2022
Go to your rest now and sleep well,
For your Guardian Angel(s)
And our God(s) are awake and watching out for all of us.
From my heart to your heart,

Out There in the World–a Sweetness—Found, Sunday, December 11, 2022
“Boo Berry!” I called. “Come See!”
“Right there waiting for us! You and Me”
An awesome, exhilarating little heart.
Thank you Universe!, Thank you, Earth!
Thank you, little heart!
From my world to YOUR heart,

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-A Cat’s Purpose, Well, at Least Mine, Friday, December 09, 2022
You might think a cat’s purpose
Is to sit on your lap and purr.
Nope.
Not my purpose.
I only sit on Mom’s lap WHEN I WANT TOO
If she picks me up
I jump right back down.
Now if I JUMP up,
then YES,
I will sit there and let her pet me and I will purr.
For me
My Purpose
Is to protect the farm
And I take it very seriously
I travel here
And there
And all over.
After all—
The dog just stays in the house
Unless she is with Mom.
Just Say’n,
TLC Cai-Cai
