When the Sun comes after Rain

When the Sun comes after Rain

by Robert Louis Stevenson

When the sun comes after rain

And the bird is in the blue,

The girls go down the lane

Two by two.

When the sun comes after shadow

And the singing of the showers,

The girls go up the meadow,

Fair as flowers.

When the eve comes dusky red

And the moon succeeds the sun,

The girls go home to bed

One by one.

And when life draws to its even

And the day of man is past,

They shall all go home to heaven,

Home at last.

CRAZY-BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Well, we've been keeping really busy!!!! It must get boring hearing me say that on nearly every post...but every time I write it, it gets truer and truer. :)

This is a picture of the box truck on Saturday morning while we were loading for market.

It was SO full!!!

Every thing's in all at once: all of the vegetables, cherries, strawberries(although they're going out), blueberries, raspberries, and more and more stuff each week!!!!

That's why it gets so crazy around here!!! and also why I don't blog as much as I'd like to!!!!!:)

I'll hopefully post something tomorrow or Wednesday!

Ta-ta!

1940 Oldsmobile!!!!

Today I had a ride in the very first automatic car ever made!!!! :)

It was a 1940 Oldsmobile, and the owner said that next week I can drive it!!!!:)

Me and Laken in front of the car!:)

It was loads of fun!

Martha and Daniel's Engagement!

Everything is just as hectic as ever, but something exciting happened yesterday!:)

MARTHA AND DANIEL GOT ENGAGED!!!!!!!

:)

They came home from work and told us. Apparently Daniel proposed while hey were working at a job....How totally unromantic!!!!!!:)

I guess it wasn't much of a surprise since they've been talking about it for about a year now.

But I thought it was exciting, and I made them pose for some pictures!

I think they said that its a half carat!:)

So that was pretty exciting news to me! :) I've got one sister-in-law, one brother-in-law, and now two brother-in-laws-to-be. :)

YAY!!!!!!

Well, I've been keeping pretty busy with the farm work and other normal things.

After Sarah and I finished capping strawberries, pitting cherries and freezing them all (my hands are totally PURPLE now!!!) I noticed some really pretty flowers in the yard, which I had never noticed before. :)

This is one of my Mom's rosebushes.

Some Tiger Lilies
I think this is a rose, but don't take my word for it (I'm clueless when it comes to flowers....)

Even though this is not a flower, I found it in the yard, so I thought I'd take a picture of it! ;) haha

These little guys were in the yard as well....they've grown a LOT since my Dad built this cage for them! :)

And now I'm going to tell you a little story. :)

On Monday (yesterday), I got a phone call from Mr. Richman, who is the head director of the Pennsylvania Homeschoolers. He asked ME if I would play Pomp and Circumstance for the Pennsylvania Homeschoolers graduation ceremony on SATURDAY!!! I was just about to say "No!!!" when my Mom said "Yes, your doing it!!!"

UGH!!!!! She wants me to do it for the experience....

Unfortunately, I've never played Pomp and Circumstance in my life!!! So, as I'm sure you can imagine, I've been practicing like CRAZY!!!!

Its going to be held at the Forum in the Capital, Harrisburg. So, I'm going to be nothing but worried until its over!!! :)

Hopefully it'll go well though!

I'll post again later this week!

Ta ta!

Videos

The end of Bible School 2009!!!!:(

Wednesday night was the last night of Bible School, and I think everyone had SO much fun!!!!

Right after everyone had arrived, my dad got up and asked how many of us LOVED cats. Brandon, Laura and Joshua said that they loved cats. So my dad had them come to the front and he gave them each a can of "cat food" and on the count of three, they were supposed to eat it. Whoever finished theirs first, won. Brandon won. Laura refused to eat hers (and I really don't blame her, I wouldn't have either). It turned out that it wasn't cat food, it was some kind of really gross processed meat that smelled terrible. :) But the videos I took are HILARIOUS!! and I'll post some of them separately. :)

Brandon, Laura and Joshua getting ready to open their cans. :)

We had pizza afterwards. At least that washed down the processed meat!
