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!

It’s been raining here,
Little showers of delight
Our air, ground, and souls cooling way down
Making a person think it might be Autumn
It makes me feel like Fall
Time racing forward
That summer will be over (too) fast.
Moments racing ahead…
The rain is nice, it’s actually making puddles
Still…over there — just beyond
Is Fall…
Autumn
The cool down, just before
Ah, well…until then
Our days go Quietly forward…

The wind and dirt arrived again
Making it hard to move around on the farm; littering the air and our mouths and noses and eyes
Along with the wind came RAIN Clouds
Lovely, soft, earth quenching, leaf cleaning, air freshening Exhilarating RAIN!
We’ve had a few days of off and on rain now!
It is indeed a beautiful, intoxicating, cheerful, enlivening THRILL!

Sunday night a huge wind/potential rainstorm came rolling into our area.
Monday the sky was heavy with low clouds and the air sharp enough to make a person think of January.
The weather people said rain, but (right here) we didn’t see any.
Just smothering dust.
Hopefully, we will start to warm up again. I’m ready for the winter and it’s chill to just be a memory.

I’ve been wanting to show you this for sometime
But Friday’s with Boomer came first, then the start of the water on the farm came second
But one-day last week we had rain
Which is an essential part of spring, bringing vitality to all growing things (and mud, but that is a very different story than this one)
What I wanted to share with you is this!
As the sunset, the mist created by the rain was the color of rose
I have never been blessed to see such a sight in all my life
The whole hazy effect was very enchanting. Even when the rainy mist turned into shadows.
What a joy! What a blessing!
From my world to your heart,
Linda
