And the Heat Rolls On—Friday, July 21, 2023

It is HOT! Mom!  HOT!

I NEED IN!  MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Hot isn’t too bad…I can do hot!  I just hang in the shade.

What I can’t do is the wind!!!

Hot and WIND!  I need in, also!

(We need rain…to settle the dust and to cool us down. It can rain anytime now, but come next week—no, rain—we will be cutting the alfalfa for the second time this year)

So much fun!

Shave and a Hair Cut, Two Bits–Tuesday, July 18, 2023

Mom said, “Boo Berry, I think it’s time for a bath and a haircut.”

So she picked me up—took me on a car ride. Dropped me off and LEFT ME!!!

Then came and got me (I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE MOM)!

“Nice!” Mom proclaimed.

“Very Nice”, announced Dad

Cooler, I thought!

Boo Berry Betty!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-What Mom and Dad Have Been Doing, Friday, July 14, 2023

It has been busy, busy, busy around here

Busy enough I have to hide–

-because there is a tractor and a big truck involved

In and out of the yard

Trip after trip after trip

Three days worth

It was exhausting just trying to hide in the house from the big truck

And hiding from all the loud noise and big tires—exhausting!

Finally, Dad announced at lunch-LAST LOAD for the year, coming up

Mom said: “That was as hard as finally getting all the woodcut and moved.”

Done!  Dad announced at the end of the third day! DONE! 

Whew!

TLC and

Boo Berry YAY! DONE!

 

That Sun, That Beautiful Golden Sun — Thursday, July 13, 2023

The heat is intense—100* plus sometimes

The slash of sunlight filling the evening sky is —well, MARVELOUS!

Oh! Mr. Sun, what a gift you are!

From my world to each of your hearts,

Linda
