I had a beautiful surprise waiting for me.
All the way from Washington!
Thank you, so much, Mary Beth!

We Got a Marvelous Treat—Sunday, November 20, 2022
Our car club needed some special photos for the upcoming year of 2023
—100 years of
fun, exciting,
things in the City of Delta.
Well, Tom Howe,
has a 1923 Model T Ford,
he was gracious to say
(notice the missing letters—sigh)
we could take photos
of the cool car
for the 2023 Car Show
this coming summer. 
AND he would be willing
to have his car toured
around town
to feature special old and historic buildings on Main street.
There are three petals….
Lots of levers
And only three doors
The whole experience was
A huge blast!
People honked and waved at us
Drove next to us with big smiles
And thumbs up!
They graciously
Let us block the road
And stop traffic
While I got a large variety of photos!
What a huge!
Marvelous!
And delightful adventure!
Thank you so much, Mr. Howe!! Your car is stunning!

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Teasing the Dog, Friday, November 18, 2022
I know!
I know!
The dog is still learning
How to be a
DOG!
But—
As you well know
I am bigger
Taller
And I even weigh
More
Which means
I AM SMARTER!
So—
Just for fun…
I LOVE to tease the dog!
Like When on a walk
Show her something Unique
Like the water tube
I run to the tube
Look in the tube
Meow
The dog comes over
Looks into the tube
I encourage the dog
To go INTO the tube
She does!
Gullible, you know
Then she comes out
And asked me:
“What was so neat about that?”
“Nothing,” I reply. “Nothing.”

Drifting in a Half World — Thursday, November 17, 2022
Drifting in a world
Of halves
Sun
Shadows.
A world between
Waking
Dreaming.

The Leaves and I, Playing in the Wind —- Wednesday, November 16, 2022
It is just a tiny thing—the blowing of the leaves from the trees and bushes
But—standing in the middle of the falling, dancing, blowing leaves
It feels immense. And marvelous! and Oh, so wonderful!
Just me, the earth, the wind, and crisp dancing leaves.
From my heart to your world,
Linda
It’s Stopped Being Fall —- Monday, November 14, 2022
“One golden day redeems a weary year.”–Celia Thaxter
Although, the light is still on the pink side
As the sun starts to set
And the calendar still says it is November
The air has said we have stopped having Autumn, and now moving closer and closer
To winter!

God Brought Us the Gift of COLD —- Sunday, November 13, 2022
A gift of a frozen world
With crunchy grass to walk upon
Even crunchy air
Call frozen fog
So very, very pretty
And then it warmed up enough to melt. 🙂

The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Farm Work, November 11, 2022
This is me! The new way of being ME!
FARM DOG!
No longer am I afraid out on the farm.
If Mom goes out on the farm
I go out on the farm
Once on the farm, Mom puts me on the ground and I sniff around all over the place. But I always, always, keep myself close to Mom! ALWAYS!
If we don’t go on the four-wheeler,
Then we walk.
I LOVE WALKING!
Although I don’t want to walk the whole farm, it’s too big and
I would get tired
FARM! DOG!
That’s Me!
Boo Berry Betty BROWN!!!
Putting the Farm to Bed —- Thursday, November 10, 2022
Off Terry, Boo Berry, and I went to put the farm to bed. By that I mean, we picked up all the siphon tubes and blocked up all the pipes so skunks and ‘others’ can’t get in over the winter and make nice little nests. Those little nests become a huge problem when we start water…
Always a big amount of work, four alfalfa fields, and the corn field. Boo Berry loves running around on the ditch bank, sniffing at all the great smells. She will even jump into the ditch, now that water is gone.
She was tired when we got in also. 🙂
A good feeling. But, boy, was I ever tired when we got in.
