The wind is terrible here—
Has been for days and days and days
Wind– like this wind from last year!
And the heat is hard and miserable (although, Mom rather likes it—Mom is silly)
So, Boo and I are staying inside. Where it’s NOT windy!
TLC
Mom and I were out doing the chores—which means, helping Dad
Change the water.
Suddenly Mom looked down and said: “WOW! LOOK, Boo Berry! The earth has given us
A heart!
Mom and I did a little dance!
Boo Berry Betty!
(Song by Katrina And The Waves)
I’m walking on sunshine, woooah
I’m walking on sunshine, woooah
And don’t it feel good!
And don’t it feel good!
Hey yeah
I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
I’m walking on sunshine, woooah
I’m walking on sunshine, woooah
And don’t it feel good!!
And don’t it feel good!!
Walking on sunshine
Walking on sunshine
Okay…that’s enough of that!

Keeping the farm safe
from Birds
and Mice are a big part of my job
Pouncing on Boo Berry
A sometimes part of my job
But my biggest job of all
Is —
Yep
Is taking care of my HUMANS!!!

(a.k.a. TLC)
(Backing up the water so the headgate will fill)
Mom and Dad just thought (HOPED) that last week’s big wind was the last big wind!
(Scary walking across that tiny board—Mom won’t even try. I don’t get out of my basket)
Nope!
Nadda!
Not at ALL!
(That is the trash dug out of the canal so the water could start)
We (Mom, Dad, Me (sometimes) worked all day in a big, big wind Tuesday and all day Wednesday.
70 m.p.h. gusts of wind getting the water started on the farm.
(We (Terry) must check the headgate several times a day to keep the trash out)
This is a hard, hard time, not only the wind but all the winter trash that comes down the water, plugging up the headgate. That makes Dad have to go check the headgate off and on. As I already said. 🙂 Boo Berry
In the afternoon, Kya and
Black Beauty, and my human sister, Shannon helped.
Once the water got to the horse pasture, Shannon, Kya, and Black Beauty took over setting the water in the horse pasture; Mom and Dad finished up on the new corn field.
It is so cold here we have been in a freeze warning which will last until Sunday.
Mom grew up in a huge fruit orchard—so this frozen stuff always makes her glad our livelihood is not based on fruit. This time of year is dangerous for fruit growers.
Okay, here is the deal: the WATER IS ON the FARM!!! (of which I get to go and help with) At least two (or more) times a day.
Mom says I am a very good irrigator! I don’t jump in the water like Kya and stop the tubes,
I just hang right by Mom like Black Beauty does Shannon.
TLC stays home all stretched out by the fire! Hummmmm.
(Who is stretched out by the fire? I am guarding the farmyard. TLC)
Boo Berry
We had company for Easter.
Yes!!!
Company!
Black Beauty, Apollo, and Loki—
Mom and Dad had the humans.
Just so you know what’s been going on!

After the big wind (and it WAS BIG)
We had this!
It did not last long
BUT
It was still here
Mom says she thinks this is winter’s
Last Good-Bye
TLC and Boo Berry
Someone is coming!
Guard the door!
Don’t be silly.
It’s our cousins!
Apollo (the red one) and Loki—here for a week while their family goes to Las Vegas!
Company!
TLC Cai-Cai and Boo Berry Betty
TLC and I went outside to
PLAY!!!
But—
Dad was backing up that big
Scary
Machine.
(This was taken two weeks ago)
So, we ran back inside!
Mom told us Dad was going out to see if the rain made it
Too muddy to get back out
On the Land.
Guess what?!
Dad is BACK ON THE LAND!
