There is something rather special about that time of night called the Gloaming.
Very special.

In the Harsh Winter Air — Monday, December 18, 2023
We still have some green leaves hanging around here and there. I’ll look one day and they will all be on the ground. It will be sudden…no turning brown—just done! Dropped.
And, of course, there are all the leaves on the ground I need to clean up.
Which probably won’t happen now until March. 🙂

We Are DONE! WE ARE DONE! WE ARE DONE!!! —- Sunday, December 17, 2023
Our truck
And two good neighbors who came to help
We finished…as the night started closing in!
Off to the elevator first thing in the morning and we said:
DONE!!!
YAY!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-MOM SAID TO TELL YOU, Friday, December 15, 2023
Mom said to tell you that Mom and Dad are in the end game of the corn harvest right now!
YAY! The Harvest of 2023 is almost in the bag!

We are Changing from Autumn to Winter Now— Thursday, December 14, 2023
We are going from fiery orange
To stunning Hot Pink
Which will gradually turn into a gentle
soft pink.
For now, though, we BLAZE forth in stunning glory!

Blowing in the Wind —- Wednesday, December 13, 2023
Boo Berry and I were walking along the canal bank when I came across these lovely cattails blowing in the wind.
It was such a delightful sight.

We Are Starting to Dry Up — Tuesday, December 12, 2023
Finally, after all the sun and the freezing and the thawing
We can walk on the farm now without being sucked down into the mud
The light breaking through to highlight the Adobie badlands seemed to shimmer in the evening air.
It was a bit of magic sitting there in frozen air–I feel grateful for seeing and getting to photograph the sparkle.

I’ve been feeding the birds
Winter is so hard on them. A few shakes of chicken food are good for helping keep everyone warm.
OH! MY!
SCATTER!!!!
(I’m sorry…I know the hawk is hungry too, but….not while I’m watching. Please.)

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Mud! Mud! and More Mud! Friday, December 8, 2023
From all this to mud.
Mom says we just have to be patient
At least all the snow you see above it gone and now we just have MUD!
