Car-E investigates

Another short video of Car-E checking out a box.

There wasn’t anything interesting in the box except a little packing wrap, but Car-E had to find out for himself.

When the rain didn’t come

This year (2021) gave us a very dry, hot June. The year 1988 was near the same.

This column is about praying for rain, seeing clouds, and wishing they would bring beneficial precipitation.

Luckily, our weather changed at the end of June this year. The rain came all at once, but it sure helped the crops.

No knowing how the rest of the season will be. Will rain come when needed? Or will it skip this area again? Only the Almighty knows.

Hoping for enough rain, but not too much.

Find the cat toy

Car-E was playing with a new toy. It might be hard to see at first. It is under his leg.

Take a look at this playful cat.

Car-E is actively playing until the button flips a little out of his reach.

It goes too far and Car-E becomes a lazy cat.

Just a little fun for today.

Darn those stubborn chickens

The storm clouds were rolling in and I continued to run around the yard.

Why? I continued to risk my life because I was trying to coax my four stupid hens to go inside their coop before the rain arrived.

I finally gave up and went into the house. I took this video from the porch as the chickens decided to get out of the rain.

This reminds me of an incident when I was a kid. The sky had turned green. Tornados were in the area and my mother was outside trying to get the goat in. I guess I take after my mother. We’d both be flying in the sky, holding onto our animals, as we flew to Oz.
