If you were to ask Mommy, she’d tell you that there are indeed some downsides to living out in the boonies. For example, the human things she likes are all a decent drive away. Which is a good thing for me because it means I get to go on longer drives with Mommy. I think that’s what Mommy minds the most, the drive. Places she likes are far away. But I can’t help but be glad to live out here. I think Mommy agrees too.

So what are the good things about living in the boonies? Just take a look at our backyard. Yes sir, that’s our backyard there. Tall elm, peach, plum, pecan, and even pistachio trees to climb. Although the pistachio tree isn’t as tall or full as the others.

A beautiful field of wildflowers to run around in to boot. There’s always adventures to be had there. Bugs to nibble on, rodents to pounce (if we can find ‘em), and butterflies to chase. Not to mention the pretty birdies too.

This side of the treeline always has more of those poofy things you blow on that send white things flying. Those are fun to play with. Plus since the trees overlap here more and provide more shade, it’s almost like a jungle here. The ground stays moist and lots of different green stuff grows on this side.

Now if only I could convince Mommy to let me play outside more. That would be the absolute best! Who wants to find moving companies Los Angeles or other big crowded places like that? Not me!
