The Adventures of Boo Berry Betty and TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-Lesson Learned, Friday, March 1, 2024

Posted on March 1, 2024 by Dayphoto

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!

Back When It Snowed— Tuesday, March 1, 2022

Posted on March 1, 2022 by Dayphoto

The snow illuminated the melt

The shadows caressed the snow

The air crisp and sharp on our skin

A sweet little bird sat atop the ‘to be split wood’

Seeing the view is like a gift to your soul.

Time to come in, Terry!

The sky is tumbling snow.

It Won’t Be Long Now — Monday, March 1, 2021

Posted on March 1, 2021 by Dayphoto

It won’t be long now

When the Sandhill Cranes will start to gather together in even larger flocks

Gathering to start their journeys back to the breeding grounds

The migrations will begin around March 10th

With around the week of March 20th where we will see that largest flocks

Winging overhead.

Then the large number of flocks will start to thin

So, by the first week in April,

They have left us.

To grace those who live close to their breeding grounds.

Until then

I will enjoy (and I hope you do also) their glorious selves streaming through the clouds,

And hanging about on the farm.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Those Small Little Gifts —- Sunday, March 1, 2020

Posted on March 1, 2020 by Dayphoto

I was walking back from the smallest field, where Terry and I were working yesterday, when I came across a rock in the shape of a heart

O! THE JOY! A Heart Rock!

Then I noticed the rock next to the heart—-ah! I see! I thought. Once just an odd-shaped rock, now suddenly a different one..full of love.

Driving home Friday from the District Basketball tournament, just chilling there in the sky was a beautiful Sundog.

In three days—which is Monday we are to see a cool down to colder weather.

Ah, well! It ’tis March. I would rather have the Lion March at the first of the month, than the last of the month.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

And Then the Snow and Wind Came—Wednesday, March 1, 2017

Posted on March 1, 2017 by Dayphoto

We woke to wind. Howling wind and then the snow started

And it was cold and miserable.

Sigh!

Lots of naps were taken

Lazing around on the sofa

Until some of us became extremely bored and had to do SOMETHING!
So Boomer, Mom and Mindy had to go for a walk. It was just too hard hanging inside all day long.

By the afternoon the sun came out and the snow flew away to regions just north of us.

Today is warmer, calmer and drier.

Which is a very good thing. We still have lots of wood to cut, haul and stack!

The First Day of March–Sunday, March 1, 2015

Posted on March 1, 2015 by Dayphoto

We’ve finally made it to the first day of March. That, in and of itself, is a true joy for me.

This has been the sun for two weeks or more. Sometimes the clouds part; showing little patches of blue. Blue sky, it sparks such hope.

We have a pair of Canada Geese living with the cows in the corn field. I love having them here. I mentally send them peace and safety…they must have decided to stay for a spell before heading up north.

I have also seen flocks of Western Meadowlarks (YAY, they are Back!) And huge flocks of blackbirds, some smaller flocks of red-winged black birds, but I have not seen any blue birds yet. Soon I hope.

My favorite cow is here again this year. She is dressed to the nines in stylish back and white…see her white tail. 🙂 It always makes me smile when I see her. She is getting older, so I wonder if she will be back next year. Only time will tell.
