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)

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,

This Poor Fox, Wednesday, July 12, 2023
I saw this fox at the Upper End the other day. It looks rather ill, I think. See that knot by its eye? Who knows what it is—tick, cheatgrass seed, tumor?
There looks like something wrong by the shoulder too. Maybe how it’s standing, but something just isn’t right with this poor creature.
I’ll never know.
It quickly turned and ran the moment it saw me.
