After another round of rain,
We had fog in the early morning!
Fog is a huge delight for me. It’s not unheard of here, but it’s usually a rather rare occurrence.
My mother always said fog was a cloud that sat down on the world—so we could enter the world of Fairy for a bit.
I delighted in that thought then, and I still do now!

After a lot of this—–
WE GOT A RAINBOW!!!
I just love seeing Magic in the air!

We had a rain. Well, really a light mist not a drizzle, but a mist. I stepped outside to get something when I saw this—-a misty rain cloud? A Ball of Misty Rain? Mist— all light and lovely.
The scent of late winter/early rain is like receiving a special kiss from the sky.
All lovely and unique.

After a big dust-blowing wind
Storm clouds rolled in with sprinkles of water now and again.
But, the big news
It isn’t the rain or wind but the turndown of the heat and the uptick of the cooler (much) weather.
We thought—-one more ride with the top down!

We GOT rain! Thankfully the hay is all in and stacked.
RAIN! Beautiful wonderful Rain!
And we got a smidge of something—rainbow, sundog, something. I’ll take a sundog–it means a cool down.
The full moon through the rain clouds was Stunningly beautiful!

Since dry dirt is a memory right now
I thought to myself—the rain has left us an amazing
Heartbeat of its own
Well, actually a bazillion heartbeats
A heartbeat of such beauty it surprises me into awe and wonder.

We had a bunch of wind
That kicked up a huge fuss
But right after the wind finished it’s tantrum
We got ourselves a lovely little rain.
From my world to your heart,

One day we had RAIN! And ever after we have been having rain clouds with rain all around us. (YAY)!
And THEN
We had a fabulous, marvelous, glorious RAINBOW!
Oh! the Joy!

“TLC Cai-Cai, what are you doing?” Mom asked me in a puzzled voice.
Hunting, I mentally thought to her. She didn’t hear me or understand…humans just don’t get animal speak, sometimes.
So, I just went on doing what I am doing. Although, I did keep one ear and one eye on Mom so I would know what she was wanting. 😊
“You are nine months old, now, my Kitty-Kitty. Mom said, walking behind me with her camera. “Just to warn you; Fall is coming. Soon you will see leaves and leaves all over the lawn, the grass will stop being green and the air will cool way down.
But this is all good. It’s just part of the changing of the seasons.”
I jumped up into the air, quickly running off…I missed. But I will get it the next time. It can be anything…
bird (of course, not if Mom is around, lizard, or grasshopper.
Mom tries to stop me on bird and lizard, but she lets me get the grasshoppers.)
“Soon we will start having more and more Fall rains (we hope, Mom muttered to herself), and the air will get very crisp and down-right cold in the mornings.” Mom kept pace with me while I hunted.
That’s okay…I like getting my photo taken. Mom says I am very photogenetic. Preen, Preen 😊
POW!
DID IT!!
I got a grasshopper!
SEE Mom! A GRASSHOPPER!
“Nice, TLC Cai-Cai! I think your mind is on other things today. We will continue teaching you about Farm Life another time.
Mom gave me a nice pet and rub on my head, turned around, and went back into the house.
I played with the grasshopper until he wouldn’t move anymore. Then it was time to go HUNTING again!
