Hey everybody! The picture right here has nothing to do with anything, only the fact that the lassie is doing something I wish I was doing, and looks prettier than I ever hope to be while doing it! :) This morning we are going to be planting our potatoes, and maybe onions. I love cutting the potatoes into chunks with eyes. I'm not sure why....Tomorrow we'll be planting peas. This afternoon we have choir, (and I hope volleyball after! :) and then this evening, we have a slight dilemma. It's Generation Joshua night, and the laundry fairies are down from NY. They are coming to dinner, and we may have to miss them! I would willingly stay home, but Dad is not sure if he wants us to stay at home since it is part of our school....it seems a shame to skip seeing people from NY!!! Last night I had to drive in the dark with Dad. We went to Dairy Queen, and Dad got icecream. I would have, but I had already had chocolate chip cookies here. Blast! I didn't do the drive-thru so well. It seemed really strange to talk to some little plastic box...oh well. At least I managed to stay on the road and avoid all the other cars.
(This is a very disconnected post by the way. That being said....) Sarah is now reading "Great Expectations" and I am reading "The Last of The Mohicans". I had stopped reading it, because of all the terribly bloody indian massacres and because half of it was written in French! ;) But it is a classic, and I do want to know whatever happens to those girls! Also, it is really interesting to me particularly, because the story takes place right where Uncle Lon and Aunt Heather live. All the places sound pretty familiar to me, and it is almost as fun as when I read "To Have And To Hold" that takes place right in our area and the area surrounding it. There is something so inspiring about imagining what our land looked like and felt like 250 years ago!
Anna found a nest of baby mice when moving around hay in her goatpen. She killed the mama and then cried about it after. The dad mouse went away, so she has kept the babies alive for two days now, feeding Daisy's milk out of a dropper. I'm telling you what, it is crazy what sorts of fragile animals are actually living in our home! We have two tanks of tadpoles that are in their second week of captivity! (They debuted in Daniel's music video) Well, I have to go make breakfast! See you guys later! -Rachel
