Beneath the Hot Summer Skies —- Tuesday, August 25, 2026
We are back to HEAT!!! And afternoon HOT winds.
It’s been an amazingly hot summer
I can’t even seem to get a good bird photo. 🙂
We are looking forward to the shrinking of the days and cooler weather.
I sure hope it’s a wet Autumn and a very cold, nasty, heavy snow winter!

We Took a Small Ride — Sunday, August 23, 2026
We took a small ride—going over Dallas Divide to Norwood, then onto the Gateway.
The canyons along the way were dry. But the slight rains spiffed them up some.
It was peaceful and beautiful!

The last set of twins is getting bigger.
They can run fast also. I felt lucky to get these shots.

Bathing! AHHH! How Nice it Feels —- Monday, August 17, 2026
It poured, and they sat right there. Sometimes fluffing themselves up. Sometimes preening, but mostly just relaxing!
Perfect!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty, TLC Cai-Cai, and Mr. Hobbs on Friday—-June Came Calling, Friday, August 14, 2026
Chapter Eleven
“Okay, Hobbs. Let’s Go Home!” I firmly stated. “It’s time to be all safe and warm and snuggled up with Mom and Dad.”
Hobbie looked at me and replied. “YES!”
With that, he turned, picked up his paws and started trotting up out of the Back Forty; heading up, up, up along the trail to the top of the Going to the Back Forty hill.
“Ant Hill!” Hobbie yelled over his shoulder. “Go around. Those red ants are hard to get off you once they get on.”
I skirted widely around a HUGE mound of ants.
“Thorns!” Hobbie warned. “Prickly Pear!”
Gosh, danger every which way and where!
I jumped over a huge nest of prickly pear and landed gracefully next to Hobbie.
I was so quick and fast and silent, Hobbie jumped.
“Geez, you gave me a fright!” Hobbie exclaimed.
I just smiled a big cat smile.
“Keep on keep’n on, Friend. We got to get —–”
Suddenly, right at the turn in the road where we either go back toward the horse pasture or we go on to the Upper End, three coyotes appeared.
“COYOTES!” Hobbie and I both screamed
COYOTES!!! OH! MY! WORD!
“TLC!!! DIVE INTO THE CHICOS! QUICK!!!” Hobbie screamed.
“QUICK!”
Last Cutting and Stacking for the Year —- Thursday, August 13, 2026
Third cutting. We won’t do a 4th. We let everything grow tall and keep it wet so there is feed for the cows come winter.
Whew! What a relief.

It’s Been Hot Here —- Wednesday, August 12, 2026
It’s been hot here. Good for drying the hay so we can get it up and stacked
It’s been a tad hard on my flowers. But so far so good.
But gradually we are heading toward September.
Summer is my favorite time of the year, but I’ve had a hard time with all the heat.
Maybe September will see cooler weather and more moisture. It’s a hope and a prayer.
That is for sure.
