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!

A Walk Home in the Mud and Sunlight —-Thursday, December 7, 2023
We went for a walk down the farm road to see how muddy it is! It’s muddy.
We have little patches of snow in some places, and heavy frost in other places
But mostly now we have mud!
Lots of it.

Sunlight is Melting all the Snow — Wednesday, December 6, 2023
And the wind.
The wind is lifting the leaves and drying them —causing a type of dancing-in-the-wind sort of feeling
Mud is the story now–lots of it
LaVerne, our mule, says she doesn’t care–mud, no mud, life is always the sensation of joy for her!
(We are melting fast now. Which is a good thing.)

On to MUD we go!

The Corn Harvest is in a bit of a Tattered Mess —- Monday, December 4, 2023
Although, I must confess I love the gossamer loveliness of the snow
The shadows drifting over the lawn
The thick chunks stuck in the bushes
And the whispy snowballs perched on the tree branches 
It’s beautiful! (We just stopped thinking about the harvest—it’s the only way to go forward).

We Came to a Huge STOP— Sunday, December 3, 2023
Friday we woke up to this
It snowed most of the day—then started melting in the late afternoon
Then more snow overnight
Stopped we are for a spell.
The snow is lovely, wet, and heavy. A gift—we will take.
The harvest will happen again—as soon as we dry back out. 🙂
