The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-You Do What You Do and I’ll Do MY STUFF, Friday, October 13, 2023

I’ve been busy lately.  Hanging around outside as much as I can

I go outside at the crack of dawn, when Mom gets up

Come in around 10 for my breakfast then head right back out again

Then I don’t come in again.  (Although, I do hang out with Mom or Dad or Boo if they are out where I can see them).

Until the sun starts to set.  I’m outside so much my fur is changing colors to a very dark brown.

FALL!

It is my FAVORITEST TIME OF THE YEAR!  YEOW!!!!

Through a Dirty Windshield, Thursday, October 12, 2023

Off we went with Brett and Mariann on a wee trip

Over Owl Creek Pass heading into the SawTooth Mountain Range

It was a perfect day

Full of warmth, color, good friends, and

Stunning tunnels of gold.

We traveled to the Silver Jack Reservoir

Then onto Sero Summit

Our eyes full of colors

And wonderful smells for the doggie’s noses. (Boo Berry went, and their two dogs, Abbie and Shelby)

What a marvelous day for all

Even Though—Wednesday, October 11, 2023

We had rain a while back

We are very dry again

A quick, heavy shower to settle all the dust and maybe make some mud would be nice.

And a rainbow!  We need another rainbow! 🙂

Just say’n!

The Perect Art of Homecoming —- Tuesday, October 10, 2023

Friday night, September 6th was Delta’s Homecoming.

Senior Royalty

Senior Attendent

Terry and the beautiful Junior

Sophmore

Freshman

And because the school wanted a wee car show—Janet brought her car

And Sam came with his roadster. (I got to ride back in the roadster instead of walking the football field several times taking photos–which was neat!)

A Delightful bit of fun for everyone!

Holding Your Breath — Monday, October 9, 2023

There are still a few farmers getting in onions, and pinto beans….maybe some who have a fourth cutting of hay drying on the ground. (We never go for a fourth, but let the plants have as much growth as possible to go into the winter.)

But for us and many, many others we are in that spot of time waiting for the corn to dry down.

Sing a Song of Fall — Sunday, October 8, 2023

Who could not love this time of year?

The color of Gold fills our eyes and our hearts

Everything is busy, busy, busy preparing for winter.

The joy of Autumn is everywhere!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-We All Went for a Walk, Friday, October 6, 2023

We all went for a walk, Mom, Boo, and me—-TLC

And we saw a RAINBOW!!!

Mom was thrilled,

Boo and I didn’t really care, but it made Mom happy so we were happy!

Irrigation is Finished for the Year—Thursday, October 5, 2023

 

The moving and changing of water is over for the year.  Now we wait for the corn to dry down

Each day the stalks, the leaves, the tops, and the ears turn drier and drier.

We are in a time of not so much work; a reprieve from too much work.

Which is a lovely place to be.

Sometimes I Think About Dying —- Wednesday, October 4, 2023

Sometimes I think about dying—what it might be like, what I would like to experience when my time comes

I know that seems morbid, but really it isn’t

I hope I get to experience ‘death’ with full understanding.  My soul separated from the earthly body and my ‘whole self’ moved into the tunnel of light

Then seeing that light–that white light that draws all souls toward it.

Being fully aware…not just suddenly slapped into the tunnel, or drugged so even my soul finds it hard to move.

Aware.  Every step of the way!

Yes, I know that is odd…but, I do think about it off and on.

The Moon Whispers — Tuesday, October 3, 2023

The moon whispers Joy as it rises above mankind’s sorrows

The heat of anger, meanness, and petty feelings all leaked away in the coolness of the moon’s light.

From my world to your heart,

Linda
