Last Of The June

Can you really believe that it is the last of June? It seems as if the month really should be May with our little rainstorms we've had last week. That wasn't expected. But now the sun is out and June is changing places with hot July. (Tomorrow is Canada Day, and we have the face paint, and the cheers ready! We are going to paint maple leafs, stars and such on our faces, and then we are going to spray our hair red! I'll post a picture of the results.) In this post, I suppose I really should have an advice-y post, since I haven't written one in soooo long! Do you mind? I've done quite a bit of summer advice, and I suppose I must redo the little mistakes, but I've some really good ideas that weren't ever posted and so here it goes: 1. Get a large glass of root-beer. Beforehand, in your ice-cube trays freeze some ice cream and so they are like cubes! If you want you can also cover them with caramel. Then after taking them out, (with probably difficulty), dump them into the root-beer, go outside into an outside chair and sip.

You can do the same thing with cream soda, fruit juice, chocolate milk and milk ice-cubes, and more combinations. 2. Turn the sprinklers on, set up a pool in the middle, and have a pleasure dip, with the sprinklers spraying on you hot cheeks. Its also quite a lot of fun! 3.GO TO THE BEACH and really, truly go into the ocean. Lots of people avoid going in because of the cold, but on a broiling hot day, when you can bake cookies of the sidewalk, just do it! 4.If you have a spare room in the house, and the air conditioning is on full blast, retreat to the spot and lie down with a novel. And think. (I sometimes go with a composition book to write down any brainstorms for a new book. ) I hope you think this little bit of advice will do you could in the heat of the weary day in summer. I feel like a root-beer...Avi

Rabbits For $ale

I suppose you must be curious on how our animals have been doing ever since my last post which I gave you a brief description. Midnight died this month, with a bunny. We think it was pneumonia after much research. After taking the other bunnies in, we nursed them back to a healthy state and thank goodness, they are doing very well!

I wanted to show you our bigger bunnies that were born in February on the 2nd. We are selling them, for NOW $15.00 so if you are interested...they are CA Giant/Dutch mini Lop, meat is exceptional, really good pets, very sweet with children, adorable. Please consider.

Papa: above. We are selling a large male CA Giant as well for $20. Meat rabbit, and is very fat! If you are considering, just comment.

The Magic Toybox-May 18th, 2014

I can't believe I haven't posted pictures of our spring recital yet! Well, its time. I have some really good ones Mom got with her new Mothers day camera! I think you can capture the characters.

Novels That Flourish

Lately, I've been reading quite a bit of Louisa May Alcott, I just finished reading An Old Fashioned Girl for the fifth time and found some parts that didn't really agree with me, how in the first part she is such an example of virtue, and in the second part, she puts on little airs, falls in love, flirts, and is a much different character than the one I knew and loved before. When I read over, I was rather shocked at her behavior, Why must she change? Isn't she already Nice? Why must she flirt and put on airs? These questions went thru my mind as I read the page. Why must we change, if we're already what we vision ourselves? As we are getting older we come to halt upon this question. I have found a drastic change in myself as a 12 year old girl. Why must I change? My answer to myself was this: Isn't our life a novel, that must flourish? In the Novel, characters change, from Boy to Man, From Girl to Woman. Their life either becomes colorful, or sad, depending on the story. It is just like the Nature Cycle. First an egg, then a chick, than a pullet and finally a chicken, or, First a baby, then a toddler, than a little person, a big kid, a youth, an adult, and finally an old-timer. And it starts spinning around again. (You are probably puzzled, my explanation should really be perfected, and I'd disgrace a professor horribly, but I hope you'll understand. You are probably a smarter person than me, and know all this, but I would just love to write these down where they would stay where I could reread them.) You have probably listened to an old story from a friend or a family member, and are fascinated with their adventures. That is what I call a Flourishing Novel that is still going on. And I hope that with all these novel's going around, one might be able to help, and edit, so that it shall become a remembered a dearly loved volume of Fascination!

The Novel Shall last forever!

A Saint's Description

My Soul rests in His glorious Mercy, bathed in his deep love for me! My Soul walks in His footsteps, I never stray. His Path is my Life! My Soul tells Him of my seemingly everlasting troubles, He comforts me till I am comforted. My Soul feels deeply His countless wounds, the Blood He shed, The tears and the Agony rest in my heart forever! I now understand his deep message, which He was sent to deliver! (Just to let you know, this was not written by me, but by something else. It just came up on my composition page while I was writing so in a way it is written by me. I was inspired by reading The Way Of Perfection By St. Teresa Of Avila.)

June Doings

Its finally June! Finally Summer! Finally! (I suppose I am exited since May has just been dragging along at a snails pace it seems.) I am sure that you all are very relived that May is over. It seemed so uneasily stressful this year, maybe I am growing up to my full 12 years finally, what with the spring recital, turning the big 12, a few more birthdays to celebrate, and new birthday resolutions that one is trying to live up to. Abe is turning two this month, it seems so crazy that such a big/little boy has only been with us for almost two years! He can now say full sentences("Oh man," "Thats cool," and "Your mean," at any given time.) He can walk, roar like a lion at some occasions, and call for water("Ouse.") He is such a character isn't he? Me and Mom went out for a mother/daughter outing, and drove to Value Village (valOO villAGE), I was looking for brown yarn to start crocheting a little tree, stay tuned, and Mom was just looking around and we ended up with two boxes of stationary, a tin, three books, glass bear figurines, three balls of yarn, barely used, and three china plates(we'll see if they last in a family of 8 with 6 kids). We ended it with a Hot-fudge-sundae-in-a-waffle bowl, with whipped cream, and sprinkles. It was heavenly!

A few weeks ago, we went to the Portland Zoo, right before Memorial day and so I have some pictures I'd love to share with you! Here is Abe right in front of the rhino wallow, he's blocking the rhino, unfortunately.

My favorite Gazelle is in front of the tree of the tree, she is so beautiful!

Its not really Abie's day.
