Summer is Almost Here!

The last few days have been so nice! I wonder how long this good weather will last.
We have been working in the garden while we can. Here are some photos of our garden and our animals!


We got seven bantam chicks!

(You can only see six in the photo)


We planted potatoes,


Squash,


Tomatoes,


Corn,

(Not knee high)



And we have baby rasberries!

Just look at that face!



I hope you enjoyed the photos. I will post more soon!

A fall poem




I love this poem. It reminds me of fall!
I hope you like it too!


Come Little Leaves said the wind one day,
Come O'er the meadows with me and play,
Put on your dress of red and gold,
For the Summer is gone and the days grow cold,

Down they came fluttering one and all,
Over the brown fields they danced and flew,
Singing the soft little songs they knew,

Dancing and whirling the little leaves went,
Winter had called them, and they were content,
Soon, fast asleep in their earthly beds,
The snow laid a coverlet over their heads.

So busy!!
















I have been so busy lately! Picking apples, raking leaves, etc. I've not had much time to work on my blog but I will try to work on it sometime after Halloween.

Here are some funny pumpkins. I hope you like them.


Happy Halloween!

Make an Inuksuk

Make an inuksuk (in-OOK-sook)!

The Inuit (IN-oo-it), a group of people native to the Arctic, used stones as signposts. They stacked the stones in a certain way to mark safe trails and good sites for hunting and fishing. The Inuit called these stone figures an inuksuk-which means"something that acts in place of a person."

Here's how to make your own:
1. Leave no stone unturned.

Go outside and look for stones, rocks and pebbles about the size of your hand or smaller. Flat ones are best for stacking.

2. Get your balance.

Take some time to play with your stones. Move them around. See which ones balance best on top of each other.

3. Keep it standing.

If you're worried that the stones might topple over, you can use glue or bits of clay to hold them together.

Beautiful!

Meet Alie

Meet Alie, a little alien my Mom and I made. I was inspired to make this little guy by the Adopt an Alien website on ETSY. Adopt an Alien is a place where you can buy stuffed aliens. I look at the website every day. I love Alie so much!
