(Mom was not very happy with me—I don’t understand why)
MOM! It’s cold outside. I don’t care that it’s green and warm looking it is still cold!
Well, let’s go in then and get you warm. 🙂
(We’ve been having a cold, cold front move through. It is very cold. I’m ready for it to warm back up — so is Boo Berry)
TLC loves it colder!

I was busy just doing my thing—
When Mom Yelled—-
Come with me, Boo Berry—
Come on!!
Hurry! Hurry! We have a RAINBOW!!
The very first of the season!
Okay!
That is a good thing?
Yes! It is, Mom said. Bending down to pet me. Yes, it is!
I think anything that gets Mom petting me is a good thing. 🙂

We’ve been helping Mom and Dad make cement for the incoming ditches
It was a gradual process because Mom and Dad stirred up the cement themselves
They worked on it for a long, long time
TLC waited in the weeds…Me I moved all around looking and smelling. It was great fun!
We helped and we rested and we helped —whatever Mom and Dad did we were involved!
DONE!
We just wait for it to cure, Dad says.
Mom says we are great helpers!
TLC and Boo Berry
Seems like there is always, always
Something to do outside!
Dad is always outside—sometimes in the farm yard, sometimes on the farm land
Mom is outside most of time
So we go with her! (and each other)
Mom says we are the bestest of helpers. Always close to hand, always right where she is working
Mom says that way she doesn’t get lonely!
TLC and Boo Berry
Mom and Dad have been working to clean up that
HUGE branch that fell in the yard
TLC and I helped
TLC said let’s play over here…that way we are out of the way.
After a bazillion hours, it was time to go in
TLC beat me to the house—he went in with Dad
I had to wait for Mom
HURRY MOM!
Finally! She got there!

I was out doing my thing:
You know–hunting!
When I decided to head out to the field to see if there were any field mice wanting to play with me
Yep…lots of big birds
Oh! Well. I started moving along the gated pipe, searching and searching, trying to coax at least one mouse out into the open.
While I was doing that a new flock of the GIANT BIRDS FLEW DOWN AND LIT RIGHT BY ME!!!
I tried to ignore them, but ONE DECIDED TO PECK MY HEAD!!! Mom washed my head—but I washed it better.
I AM NOT BIRD FOOD!!!
I ran as fast as I could back to the house!
It was a couple of days before I felt comfortable going outside.
Mom said to be careful for a spell. The cranes are starting to migrate
It won’t be long until they are all gone…but until then….
I need to stay in the yard!
TLC
The wind is tad cold.
Just say’n.
(BUT I LOVE TO GO ANYWAY!)
