The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-FOX! Friday, November 4, 2022

Posted on November 4, 2022 by Dayphoto

Dad called to Mom —“Your cat is clear out in the alfalfa field.”

Mom went to look and exclaimed, “That isn’t TLC Cai-Cai! That is a FOX!”

“What!?” Dad jumped up out of his chair and went to the door with Mom. “Yes, it is! A FOX!”

“I think I had better really keep an eye on the chickens. Must be a ‘new to the farm’ fox and is looking for personal territory.” Mom replied.

Now while all this was going on, Boo Berry Betty and I could have TOLD Mom and Dad about the fox, because —well, after all—we already knew.

There are smells.

And footprints.

And sometimes poop is left for us to know that FOX is here.

Mom thought it would be kinda neat to put up a trail camera to see where the Fox might be hanging out. She picked the garden spot, because, she said, I, yours truly, TLC Cai-Cai, have been acting rather jumpy whenever I am in the garden spot.

Yep! Like I said I could have told her, but she doesn’t really understand my language.

FOX! Fox in the yard! Eventually, the fox will move on, but for now, everyone, except those rather dumb birds called chickens, is on high alert!

I helped Terry do about an hour’s worth of wood—an hour was about my limit.

In the process of ‘going over’ to do the work

I noticed how beautiful the world is right now.

Just downright lovely! So much so that it makes your eyes, heart, and soul feel like bells are ringing, and songs are singing; the world jangling with joy.

“Wow! How Cool! The Electric Fence isn’t working. Come on LaVerne. Come on T’Ata!” Glory Bee slid under the fence and trotted out onto the farm.

“Oh, yum, a whole field of freshly frozen alfalfa.” Glory Bee mumbled to herself.

“Are you sure we should be out here, Glory Bee?” LaVern asked.

“Hummmm, what is that smell?”

“COYOTE! I SMELL A COYOTE!”

“I’m going to go down this hill and see if I can actually SEE a coyote and not just smell a coyote!” LaVerne explained to T’Ata.

“You do that, I’m staying in the alfalfa field.” replied T’Ata

“RUN!!!! Mom is on her way to get us! RUN!”

It took a bit, as those of you with horse knowledge know, but after a bit Shannon and I got the girls rounded up and back in their own part of the farm.

From our world to your world,

Linda

Saw the Doctor today…I am improving.

I thank you so much for your encouraging words, your kind thoughts, and your prayers.

It all means so very much!

I think I am improving.

I really can’t tell. Feel better: do a little something. Then collapse, sleep —then start back over feeling a little better.

Still, I have hope. This is gone for a long time and I’m tired of feeling poorly.

Mom’s still sick.

She has new medication. Maybe it will work.

Dad has to do EVERYTHING!!!

Get Well Soon, Mom!

(P.S. to catch everyone up—I’ve been fighting pneumonia now for 10 days. They thought about entering me into the hospital, but I voted for staying in my own house.

It’s been very hard to function. Although, I do have some new (four different drugs) now that have a least given my back my voice—kinda, sorta, not really. I take them for five days (four more to go) if, at that time, no results I suppose I have to do the hospital route.

Thanks for still hanging in there. It’s hard to do too much at one time, but I do think of you and hope you are all staying healthy)

Cold, wet, and rainy. The sundog was right.

I have to take a break as I am also sick. I don’t have COVID, although I thought so until I got the test.

I will return when I feel better.

Sorry.

Stay well, everyone!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty on Friday—-Big Exciting Day, Friday, October 21, 2022

Posted on October 21, 2022 by Dayphoto

I GOT TO GO!!!

Mom and Dad and Shannon and

Black Beauty and

Kia and

ME!! ME! MYSELF! And I!!!

We all got to go check fences and build fences.

It was wonderful!

WONDERFUL!

Mom said she had to watch me carefully because I am so little.

I don’t get why; I just did what the big girls did!

There was so much stuff to learn about—Kia found something really exciting in the corn field—she barked and barked and barked at it.

I didn’t go with her, I stayed with Black Beauty.

Then Black Beauty found us something yummy to eat. HUMMMM

Shannon yelled at her and took it away. When she took the yummy from Black Beauty, she took my morsel away from me.

“We don’t need you throwing up later,” Shannon explained.

We moved through Rabbit Brush, Chico’s,

cattails, up rocky hills, across grasses pastures— it was wonderful.

JUST WONDERFUL!

TRA LA LA LA LA!!!

(P.S. Some photos are from the archives, I wasn’t very good at taking lots of photos when there was so much to do. Sorry! But it does give you an idea of everything we did. 🙂 )
