Hello. It's Belinda. If you missed last week's blog please don't read it. It's one big apology for all the eclipse nonsense. I'm so embarrassed. So I've made a decision. From now on I'm going to follow the rules. My blog is called "Belinda Says Hay" and that's exactly what I'm going to do. Talk about hay. If you're not in the … Continue Reading
Belinda Says Hay: “I Drew the Sun”
Hello. It's Belinda. Did you check out the eclipse? You're not supposed to look at it. My roommate drove to a town a few hours away and wore special glasses so she could see "totality." She said the whole neighborhood went dark. The moon went in front of the sun and blocked out all the light. Get this. … Continue Reading
Belinda Says Hay: “Countdown”
Hello. It's Belinda. It all started with a globe.First saw it when I was "foraging" in the kitchen one morning. Jumped a foot in the air if you want to know the truth. Next thing you know my roommate is using the globe to tell me all about the eclipse. I had never heard of eclipses. From the first minute … Continue Reading
Belinda Says Hay: “Little Fang’s List, Part 2”
Hello. It's Belinda. Happy Easter to those who celebrate. Did the "Easter bunny" bring you a basket? I hope so. That's his job. Just kidding. I usually write about my roommate's Easter "antics." Every year she tears the house apart looking for candy. But I can't get into that right now. I promised a follow-up from last week's blog. If you missed … Continue Reading
Belinda Says Hay: “Little Fang’s List”
Hello. It's Belinda. It all started the other night. I was dreaming and I wasn't a fan of the dream. "To put it mildly." The thing is, ever since my roommate told me about the eclipse I can't sleep. Toss and turn all night. I keep worrying about the sun "shutting off" in the middle of the day next … Continue Reading

Belinda Says Hay: “Eclipse Saving Time”
Hello. It's Belinda. I have a message for the people in charge of the clocks. "I told you so." Every six months you tell all the humans to switch the hours "ahead" and "back." And every six months I write about it in my blog. I talk about all the ways Daylight Saving Time is nonsense. First of all, you … Continue Reading

I'm … Continue Reading
