Poem of Spring

Spring

Flowers bud through the ground,
This is when Spring comes around.
All the birds chirp in the air,
Beauty lies everywhere.
Chipmunks and squirrels skip and scatter,
While the April showers go plip, plop, patter.
Cool air, flowers, new trees, and deer,
Are all part of Spring, that now is here.

Hope you like it!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Happy St Patrick's Day!
Hope y'all had a wonderful day. My sister and I made Colcannon, we had a big Shamrock centerpiece....oh, I love my family. Although we aren't Catholic, we can still have Colcannon, green biscuits, a shamrock centerpiece, all wear green, and say, "Happy St. Patrick's Day!", can't we? I love being with my family, and I hope you do too. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Oh, Coffee, How I Love Thee

Right now I'm at PJ's, enjoying a Hazelnut Granita, and doing my school...well, I WAS doing my school, but now I'm finished, and writing on my blog! :) My sister Casey is studying for a Physics Exam....yuck. When I just look at her notebook, that's what I think....yuck. She said, "Whenever I want to know that I'm smart, I just look through my notebook, and think, 'Wow, I wrote this!" I just had to do a problem that was so easy, but I thought it was hard, so I asked Casey to help me, and I took about 10 minutes to find out that the answer was just 1/3. I took a sip of my Granita, and it made me feel all better. How I love coffee. :)

My Tree

Well, I've had "My Tree" that I always climb in my back yard. I love going up there, because I feel close to God there. I have a water-proof Band-AID packet in case I get any scrapes or cuts, a water-proof vase that I put flowers in every day, a side-to-side elevator (that's actually a bird feeder), and a prayer box, that's a cardboard 2 1/2 inch box with a lid, that I painted and sealed both the top and the lid. Every week, or every few days or so, I'll write a prayer on a small piece of paper, fold it up, and put it in my prayer box. After a while, I'll go back and read all of my prayers. You might think I just "like going up there", but, I REALLY love going up there, either doing my school, or just thinking while I sit. "Everyone needs their retreat." Said Mom. So whatever your personality, always try to find somewhere that can be a thinking place, a working place, a reading place, simply a retreat.

Coffee Dreams of Chocolate

Hi there! Well, the title has nothing to do with anything, but I thought of it, and I liked it, so I put it. :) But since I put it, maybe I can write about it. So, coffee dreams of chocolate. But what about Vanilla? And Caramel? I don't think coffee should pick favorites. Even though, I admit, coffee does go well with chocolate.
Well, March 1st was my older brother's birthday! Happy Birthday, Caleb! Wow, there's all great ages this year! 21, 18, 16, and I'll be.....11. Ok, so maybe not all great ages, but I'll get there eventually.
I actually didn't know what I was going to write about, I just wanted to write.
Write. The word makes me tingle with wonder and joy. Write. What can I write about this time? Write. No one can stop me from doing it. Write. What possibilities are there out in the world of words. Write.
I just felt like writing that. :)
I found this video (of my favorite character on YouTube) and it really made me laugh out loud, so I wanted to share it. Look at the post before this, and you. too will get your daily Laugh out loud. Enjoy! :)
