My name is Mac Scarlatti and I'm 13. I used to live on a ranch (and still do on weekends), but now I'm discovering the world of town life and how great having friends can be.

Rain and Mud

I think fall might be officially here!

It's been unusually warm the past few weeks. Good for the farmers that we haven't had any killing frost, but getting old. However, it rained last night! It was crisp and refreshing this morning when I went to feed my horses. But, oh the mud! I forgot how nasty it could be. My boots must have weighed ten pounds by the time I got to the barn. My jeans were all splattered, too. Cam laughed when he saw me because some how I had gotten mud in my hair as well! Luckily it came out easily since I didn't have time to shower before the bus came.

Izzy was already to go out in her raincoat and boots. She looked so cute! I couldn't resist taking her with me to check on the cows. Which ended up being a very bad idea since it's breeding season for the cattle. I told Izzy they were playing leapfrog. Her response? "What's leapfrog?" Poor kids these days don't know any games! (Gosh, I sound old!). Luckily she has a very short attention span and forgot about the mating cows by the time we got back to the house.

Remember my black and white barn cat? I've decided what I'm going to do with her. Angelica's cat is still pretty wonky from her dog attack so I'm giving the cat to Angelica. I'm going to take it over this weekend. Angelica's very excited! I'm glad too since Daddy has been chewing me out about the cat again since he found out she's not fixed and his idea of cat population control is not very cat-friendly. Luckily Angelica's dads have no problem paying to have her spayed.

Next post I'll have to talk about my new friends. One I met at school and the other lives nearby. They're both quite cool!

  2. Salut, Mac!
    It always seems like fall in Lille. There is always a certain chill to the air, and it rains almost constantly.
    I can't wait to hear about your new friends!

  3. Mud can be really fun! Thanks for giving us a chuckle about your family's antics! :-)

    I think that's a good choice for the cat. I think she and Angelica will be happy together.

    Love,
    Clare
