The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Farm Life Series Chapter 13, The Third Season, SUMMER Woes, Friday, February 25, 2020
There are lots of Woes, weather-wise, in Summer.
Sometimes we get Hail Storms.
Yep.
And Heavy Scary Thunder and Lightning Storms.
Scary stuff.
I mean VERY SCARY STUFF!
Like OVER-THE-TOP Scary!
In Early Summer we get Dust storms…these are caused by—you got it—WIND.
Wind coming off the Uncompahgre Plateau across and through the canyons, right up onto the Mesa we call home.
California Mesa.
Then all the worked-up ground becomes DUST and blows right into our eyes, ears, and mouths.
Sure, is a Mess.
If it’s late summer heading into Fall—when the air cools way down and the Earth is still warm…then the canals and water ditches and the river makes FOG!
Mom loves Fog…I told you she was a little strange. Off she goes to go WALKING in the FOG!
Dad and I just let her.

WATER!!!! Thursday, February 24, 2022
The whiteness of the snow presses on our eys
And lights up our hearts!
The silence is profound
Our land is alive again
Filled with hope and promise
Snow!
YAY! The most we have had in a long time!
I walked all around in it this morning
6″ is a huge amount for us! Six WET inches of WATER!

The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Farm Life Series Chapter 11, The Third Season, SUMMER and Water, Wednesday, February 23, 2020
Summer is all about one thing:
Water!
Water for the crops
(which I will tell you about in another series)
and Mom keeping her flowers and stuff wet.
And Dad keeping the farm crops growing.
Water!
The Life Blood for the Farm!
This water stuff doesn’t come to end until late August or early September.
It all depends on how fast the corn matures
and when the last cutting of alfalfa occurs.
For Mom, the watering of her yard comes to a hault
when the farmer next door stops watering his fields.
Water…there is more to it than meets the eye.

Winter’s Vibrations and Energy — Tuesday, February 22, 2022
And there, right there, the blowing wind picked up a leaf; as if to say, this is a precious note in the song of Winter.

Filling the Air —-Monday, February 21, 2022
They are BACK!
The joy of song fills the air!
Spring is coming. I just have to be patient.

OUTSIDE —- Sunday, February 20, 2022

This is COOL!
Running here and there is FUN!
WAIT! I HEAR SOMETHING!
ROOSTER! MOM! ROOSTER!
RUN!
No, sweet hens. No rooster! You are safe. Very safe!

The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Farm Life Series Chapter 11, The Third Season, SUMMER Rain, or, Friday, February 18, 2020
Or the lack-there-of RAIN! Usually, the weather people say scattered thunderstorms or rain showers are expected.
Which means, in the mountains, not right here on the farm.
Each and every day Mom goes about with a huge smile on her face…’ it’s Summer, TLC My Cai-Cai…the very best time of the year’! She says to me.
She has GOT to be kidding!
Sometimes the temperatures run right up and over 100*f. Even the shade melts.
I know. I’ve tried sitting in it.
Dad, says ‘it’s so hot it is hard to DO ANYTHING.’
Boy, do I ever agree!!!
Mom is crazy…
she goes about SINGING!
Mom is crazy.
Yes, she is.
Pant, pant, puff, puff

Some Paths —Thursday, February 17, 2020
Some paths are hard to walk
Some paths easy
All you can do is walk down the path until you come to the end.
Then at that point, you understand the path and your feet upon it.
From my heart to your world,
Linda
The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Wednesday—-Farm Life Series Chapter 10, The Third Season, SUMMER, Means Heat, Friday, February 16, 2020
Summer is the season HOT! HOTTER! HOTTEST!
Pant! Pant!
Spring is pretty—I guess. It does have wind, but still, it is cool enough I don’t pant.
Summer starts sometime in May or June. Depends on what the weather wants to do.
Another sure fact is Mom gets out the lawnmower and
SCARES THE HECK out of me.
I hide in the trees so that big machine won’t get me.
Anyway, for this tiny series, I will talk to you about SUMMER!
Hang on! I’m sure you are going to be just like me and be HOT!
(Oh, by the way, Mom LOVES Summer.
Mom IS crazy like I said earlier.)
