The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty, TLC Cai-Cai, and Mr. Hobbs on Friday—-Just Call Me Mellow Yellow, Friday, May 22, 2026

Just Call Me Mellow Yellow.

Mom keeps singing whenever she picks me up.

(I don’t like to be picked up)

Then Mom gives me a kiss RIGHT ON MY NOSE and sets me down

I don’t scratch her or bite her.  Nope. But I do squirm

I still sleep right next to Dad at night.  Dad is soooooo nice and warm.

I play with TLC.  We even hunt together sometimes.

I have also told the wild cat, Black Satin, that Mom is good.

Black Satin is coming closer and closer to Mom.  Then she runs away if Mom looks at her too long.

Boo Berry does NOT understand Play.

Not with me.

Not with toys.

Nothing.

But that’s okay.

Just call me Mellow Yellow, tee dum tee dum

Grad Party —- Thursday, May 21, 2026

The Grad Party was at our house

Misty decorated it in a fun way— balloons and photos

The only spoiler was all the wind—too much wind

But we all made it.  Lots and lots and lots of food

Parker, Tallin’s boyfriend, was here.  What a nice kid he is.

It turned out lovely.

(Boo Berry LOVED the smells coming from the tables 🙂  !)

The last grandkid’s last party of her school years.

The next stop is college in Montana, where she hopes to become a CPA.

From our world to your heart,

This way too hot to way too cold is hard on me and all the plants.  It is a tad nice for the early Spring flowers  —-  they can keep on blooming that way.  🙂

Sunday, Monday, and early morning Tuesday and Wednesday were a tad chilly.

“You know what, Dado?”  I grabbed him as we were heading out to work.

“Those little grandkids growing up have passed so quickly.  Those years are so full of such a deep happiness that only grandchildren can bring. It’s sad and wonderful, and perfect all at once.”

From my world to your heart,

Mom put me in my little blue box.

Okay, Mom.  Don’t forget my goggles!

Mom did something with something, and then she

PUT THESE ON ME!!!

WOW!

I like them much better!  I can see all around now. No wind or dirt in my eyes.

Hey! Mom!  I really like these!!

A hand-blown glass heart!  From a wonderful kid (he is the same age as our oldest daughter—they went to school together 🙂  )

“I know you love hearts!” He wrote.

What an amazingly wonderful gift and a huge Surprise!

Thank you ever so much!!!

We were heading out for the last check of the day.

Which took a wee bit longer than normal, because of a plugged headgate,

So coming back was much later

But still stunningly beautiful–moon, clouds, and fox!

I opened an email with this:

“Feel free to post it if you think it is worth it. Just taken last week. On the farm my grandfather owned.”

Gosh, a full rainbow!

I am super blessed!

Thank you so much,

This is a VERY First for Me —- Monday, May 11, 2026

I found a very cold Swallowtail Butterfly!  It was lying in the shadows of two pieces of firewood, not moving, not even interested in moving.

So I gently picked it up.  Brought it into the house and let it warm up a bit.  When the wings spread out (and before it flew)

I took it outside and placed it in with my pansies.

It rested for a spell.  Really warmed up.  Then lifted up and was gone.

WHAT A HUGE TREAT for ME!!!

From my world to your heart,

Linda

There is Singing — Sunday, May 10, 2026

The farm sounds delicious —birds singing in the bush, on the fence post, and in the trees

Life is totally dazzling!  The colors of the earth, the brilliant glittering of the sky—SPRING!
Nothing quite like Spring after way too much winter.

Even the night —full of stars and planets, and of course

That stunning silver moon.
