Barefoot Tootsies

where we left off. this morning mama told me i should written more. What ??!!! you only wrote about 5 sentences... as I recall ''mother'' you where u rging me to go to bed... oh...then why don't you pick a time when you can write more -she never said that but I could sense it was coming- now to explain what ''BLACK FRIDAY '' was. A usual hot day with the promise of rain- we hadn't had rain in a month- mama wanted to go to the garden one last time before it rained. i stood on the deck smelling the mist, my brothers where in the basement playing and sleeping quietly. I came inside just in time to hear the fan going crazy I found it already unplugged I started screaming mama was outside and the trees where literally almost flat I could see the cornfield one min. and I couldn't see it the next I was scared to death I didn't know where mama was things where falling off the window sills because the windows where open I watched a HUGE tre...

HELLOOOOO... I'm back ... hopefully you remember that I even exist... it is now August -as you probably already know... that is if you aren't me - ... now lets see... oh...uh... where to begin...uuummmm aha FARMERS MARKET... WEST VIRGINIA... BLACK FRIDAY... MY 12TH BIRTHDAY !!! : ) : )... NOTHING... MAMA IS TELLING ME TO GO TO BED "talk at you later"                                                                                     good night z...z...z...z...z...z...z...z...z...z...z.......... bang... ''what was that...'' ''i have to go to the bathroom'' ''...noise''                              it even happens at night... good... oh great... for right now...z...z...z...z...  

                        I haven't written in such a long time, MAY is such a busy month.  13 ducklings hatched ( we have to keep them out of the goat barn or they will get smashed ) getting the garden  plowed and planted before it rains again "hhhhhhuuuuuurrrrrrryyyyyyyy'' yells mama.  mama is nervous about farmers market so we are to. MY 12TH BIRTHDAY : ) memorial day picnic : ) ... making food.

 This tree frog is soooo adorable in this picture it is just sitting there, holding on to this twig. This is the cutest picture, but of course I put it there.  OH, isn't he cute, just sitting there with his legs all folded up underneath him.  HOP,HOP, HOP, away little tree frog.  PS. O.K, Sophia you can admit he's cute.

this is a periwinkle it grows all over our woods. of course,  you probably already know what this is, and said ''what a wast of time why even bother taking the picture'' but really your kind of wrong there, I read that there roots contain the vitamins A, B, C, and D they are also high in iron.   This trout lily and the others on the hill don't grow anywhere else in the woods, that I know of.   Just a regular Daffodil in mamas garden.    These are wood Anemone  I think they are beautiful. 

our deck this winter ( or is it last winter ) well anyway the winter that we only went sledding once. And this is a bird. This is Papas hand picking up the project I dumped... first I put a glove on a stick with birdseed in it... Papa thought it was a cool idea so he took the stick out and replaced it with his hand he actually got a bird to eat from his hand I felt bad I had dropped it.  The lego man one my brothers put out there. pay attention here... this is a b-i-r-d eating a s-e-e-d. And here is a bla bla bla bla and bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.

I know that your probably saying ''horrible stacking'' but I am saying ''what a drag''I exhausted myself (or mama did) I had to take thee breaks that is more dishes than I have done in a long time, hopefully I won't have to do that for a while. I've gotta scoot my brothers are expecting my delicious home made cookies (you know boys they will want some cookies by the time they put all those dishes away.)
