The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-In the Early Morning Light — Friday, August 9, 2024

The day starts at first light—

I go with Mom and Dad and

Boo, although I don’t ride in the blue thing on that loud thing Mom drives.

Nope.  Just the goofy dog rides.

Just say’n,

TLC

 

The First Rufus Hummingbirds Have Arrived!—- Thursday, August 8, 2024


Although, I can’t seem to get a photo of those mean, but beautiful little birds

I know their arrival is a signal that Fall is approaching.

They will be with us for about three to maybe four weeks then move on.  When they move on so will all the little hummers.

Summer is becoming late summer now.

We Had Micro-Burst of Wind —- Wednesday, August 7, 2024

Oh! My Gosh!!!  A huge branch came crashing down

Blocking the road and the bridge —just making a huge mess

Gradually we got it all cleaned up; I kept some of the wood for winter heat

Some were too big to save so we hauled away to live in the weeds; providing homes for the critters out there.

Thankfully no hen, no kitty or human was standing under it when it fell!

When Smoke Gets in Your Eyes— Tuesday, August 6, 2024

There is a huge fire on the Uncompahgre Plateau.  It’s on the Montrose side, but only 32 miles from us.

We are safe—lots of forests, canyons, etc. between us and the fire—but still….

Rain!  COME ON RAIN!

As the Night Starts to Spread — Monday, August 5, 2024

As the night starts to cover the earth

The deer come out to feed.

And we finish up the last set of the day.

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-We Got a Bit of Rain, Friday, August 2, 2024

Last week we got a bit of rain….

Enough to make my fur wet.  Mom says this rain was a gift!  She said we really needed it.

But Mom doesn’t hunt in the wet grass and stuff.

No, but she (and Dad and I) do have to walk around and ride in the mud.  And the mud is a tad slippery.

Now we are back to needing rain again.

Only in your opinion, snarks TLC.

You gotta admit 103* is a wee bit hot, TLC.  Some rain will cool us down, replied Boo Berry.

Scram!   HAWK!!! SCRAM!!!
