Spring....

Thank you God for this first ever beautiful Spring in the Middle of March! :) I am loving the wonderful Spring weather that we have been having this year where I live. We usually don't get these nice of Springs, so it truly has been wonderful!

Spring!

A sense of warmth is tapping at the door;
And hope, a feeling out from distant lore
– Or so it seems – clears the deep refrain!

Emerging youth: a dormant lea awakes.
The raging colour, singing loud, partakes
In annual birth – spring is born again!

A zest anew for nascent life
Begins in floral train:
Carriage one: a snowdropp thrill;
Carriage two: the crocus;
Number three, a daffodil – dancing,
Drawing focus – as she would,
Attention seeker!

How I love our spring:
The bold and sleeker feel I get,
An inner glow, a ring!
I’ve paid the winter’s chilly debt, so
Now upon the wing!

S-N-O-W!!!

We finally got snow where I live! It has been wonderful! I truly love winter. It's the time of the year, where you get on cozy and drink hot chocolate, and eat hot soup. It's simply just wonderful!

Anyways, I took my camera outside and took pictures. I didn't really like the way that most of them turned, so I only wanted to put this one on here. But I really liked how this one turned out. Stay tuned for more winter pictures. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I almost forgot. Today is when I was going to tell all of you guys what the name of our puppy is. His name is...... MURPHY!!! Only four more weeks until we will have him! I super excited!! And, I will def. be doing a post (and pictures) of Murphy when we get him! So, stay tuned.

It's finally October!

It's October 1st! Wow I can't believe it! Sooner or later it will be Christmas! lol Well, since where I live it's been like 50 degrees everyday it's really been feeling like fall. So I thought that I would post about the most wonderful season. Fall!

Tell me one thing that you have to do this fall! It can be anything! For me, really the only one thing that I would love to do this fall is to go to a pumpkin patch with my youth group! That sounds awesome!

A Christmas tree story....

Only 14 days till Christmas! And since it's so close, and I have not posted in awhile then I thought that I would post about our Christmas tree. This story is really funny, so get ready.

We got a real Christmas tree last week for free thinking that it would be nice to have. So we got it inside to set it up, and we then realized that it was half dead. We left it up thinking that if we gave it water every day that it would live. Well it ended up just getting worse, so we took it down and put up our fake one that we had in our garage. It looks soooooo much better.

I only had a picture of our old tree, but I thought that it was a nice picture.

Thanksgiving!

Well this year's thanksgiving was a hole lot of fun! We had some awesome food and I talked my family into playing a game. I hope that all of you had as much fun on thanksgiving as I did.

CrAzY Hat Night!!!

On Wednesday, our church had crazy hat night during AWANA. We all got to vote on who we think should win (you had to pick a boy and a girl). When everyone had voted we found out who won! My hat was a candy corn hat! I made it out of yellow, orange and white construction paper. It ended up looking really cute! I was very happy with it! I didn't end up getting a picture with it on so I will just give you an idea.

Fall Treats!

WARING: If you have a big sweet tooth then suggest that you don't read this post.

Yesterday was the first day of fall! I am going to give you a short little post about my10 favorite fall treats.

1. Carmel Apples

Carmel Apples are like the best fall treat! After coming home from going to an apple orchid its always nice to bit into a nice, juicy Granny smith Carmel apple. One year we tried to make our own Carmel apples, but they weren't as good as the kind that you get at the store. I was surprised.

2. Apple Cider

After having a nice Carmel apple, you will want a nice ice cold glass of apple cider! Apple cider always taste why better really cold. I love drinking this for lunch or dinner on cold or hot days.

3. Cinnamon Donuts

I love donuts any time of the season believe me! But during a fall crisp day it is just so tasty. One time when my family was camping we made cinnamon donuts and they were so delicious. Believe me if you have not yet had a homemade cinnamon doughnut in your life, then I suggest you do this fall.

4. Pecan Pie

I remember that a few years ago we would have a Pecan Pie every Sunday in the fall! That was a good time in my life :) I love the why the Pecans harden in the oven and the sweetness of the brown sugar on the pecans. It is my favorite pie ever!

5. Pumpkin Pie with Cranberry Topping

I have never tried this before, but doesn't sound so yummy? I think that I will have to try this recipe this year at Thanksgiving. If you try it then you will have to tell me how good it is.

6. Pumpkin Spice Muffins

I just L-O-V-E these muffins, and they are so easy to make. The small of them are just amazing. And the best part are these muffins aren't that bad for you. They are so good if you have them for breakfast.

7.Pumpkin Pie

Of course I had to add Pumpkin Pie right? I think that Pumpkin pie is one of the most easiest desserts to make, and it tastes soooo good. And I know that everyone in the world loves it with whipped cream on it.

8.Candy Corn

I think that if you have gone without this fall eating Candy corn then I feel bad for you. This is one of my favorite candy ever. I love eating just the orange part and the just the yellow part and just the white part at once. I love the colors that they choose to put on this candy.

9. Carmel Apple Pops

These are one of my moms favorite fall sweets ever. Every time I or one of my sisters gets a piece of this really yummy candy's, she asks if she can have it. I really think that this piece of candy is really good.

10. Jelly Sour Pumpkins

I love these orange small little pumpkins. There are so yummy. I love any kind of sour candy. So when its all said and done I'd say that I really like these.

Spring!

HAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today's the first day of Spring!!! Just stop and think S-P-R-I-N-G. In no time we will have baby birds, flowers, grass.....and of course spring cleaning :0(

Little Seeds

Little seeds we sow in spring
growing while the robins sing,
give us carrots, peas and beans,
tomatoes, pumpkins, squash and greens.

And we pick them,
one and all,
through the summer,
through the fall,

Winter comes, then spring, and then
little seeds we sow again.
