What We’ve Been Doing — Sunday, November 9, 2025
Laying pipe!
With some very good help
Two down, two more to go on this ditch. We have another HUGE ditch we are putting into pipe, but that will be a tad later.
It’s looking good.
So nice.
The help was pretty helpful, also. 🙂
The workload is shrinking!!! (Just not at the moment, but come spring—-
Are we going to be farming next spring? Hummm, I wonder.)

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—- Everything is Frozen, November 7, 2025
The frost is heavy now.
Boy, do I like it! No more heavy heat that makes me pant, and Boo pant.
Mom and Dad get hot, too. Boo Berry chimed in.
Oh, well, I suppose so, but they don’t have fur! I snapped.
HEY! Boo Berry, I hollered—CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!
So off we went.
Playing hide and seek.
And catch me if you can!
TLC and
Boo Berry
Indian Summer — Thursday, November 6, 2025
There are heavy frosts now each morning — but the days warm up nicely. (Although the air moving by on the four-wheeler is a tad sharp.)
Terry has two huge projects he (we) are working on right now. Here he is waiting for Boo Berry to catch up with us. We are going up to the ditch we are putting into the pipe.
Getting the open ditches into pipes will make irrigation much easier — they won’t silt up or grow weeds.
Even though the time changed — farmers and ranchers still work by the sun. When the sun is up, we work.
When it grows dark, we come in.
Doesn’t matter what the clock says. 🙂

Sometimes I Wonder — Wednesday, November 5, 2025
Sometimes I do wonder, at my age, what the next year, or two years, or even if there will be five years to wander here upon the earth.
Sometimes I feel a tad sad, because, after all, this is a marvelous, wondrous, exciting place to spend a lifetime
But I don’t wonder long, for I always seem to be gifted sparkles (glimmers), delights.
Yes, time may be bearing down on me — but my soul whispers….not yet.
And that is what I’m going with.
Not yet.

Checking Fences, Checking Them Twice — Tuesday, 4, 2025
We’ve entered the fence check season. Also called fence repair. Hunting Season starts —birds, then deer on private property. Hunters are notorious for breaking down fences and leaving gates open.
And I found a heart!!! 🙂

Tumbling Along Little Tumble Weed — Sunday, November 2, 2025
The killing freezes we’ve been having have loosened up the kochia weeds, coupled with the wind
Create tumbling tumble weeds.
If it ain’t one thing, then it ’tis another 🙂

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-MY TURN!!! TLC, Friday, October 31, 2025 Chapter Ten
Chapter Ten
“Hey, Boo,” I meowed at Boo Berry. “Let’s go outside. I heard something out the bedroom window last night while everyone was sleeping.”
“Outside?!?!” Boo Berry questioned.
“Yes, outside. Come on, Dad is heading outside, and we can go with him.” I bolted to the kitchen door.
“Okay, if Dad is going, I will go.” Boo Berry jumped up and headed toward the kitchen door just as Dad made it there.
We dashed out. Whew. Made it. Dad didn’t like how we tangled into him and each other, but, oh well, what the heck, we got out!
“Head over to the west side of the yard, Boo. That’s where I heard ‘stuff’.” I dashed over to the west side of the yard.
“YES!” I stopped and smelled. “YES!”
“I can smell it too!” Boo exclaimed. “DEER! Wow! BABY DEER!
Too bad Mom and Dad can’t see these little creatures. I’ll bet they would like to see them.”
“Well, actually, I WOULD like to see them!” Boo Berry muttered to herself.
“What would you do if you did see them?” I asked Boo, Would you bark at them?”
“Ah, hum, aaaaahhhhhhhh, well, probably not.” Boo looked at me rather sheepishly.
“BUT I might, er, maybe, possibly could growl.”
“That would work. I think I would hide.”
“HIDE! I could hide! YES! I could hide…INSIDE!! Boo Berry made a dash for the back door.
Lucky Boo, Mom was just coming out.
Boo dashed right in behind Mom, and off they went to do whatever.
Me. Well, I have things to do and stuff to see.
Thanks for reading. See Ya around sometime.
