Happy Birthday POP- we miss you

Ramblings on a Fall evening.....

These past few weeks have been pretty busy!!! Orders...and the show in less then three weeks ( i think ; ) But i haven't been to busy to notice the awesome fall weather...and the beautiful changing leaves colors on the big ole oaks!!! Just so pretty..as Anne would say " that's the prettiest poem i have ever seen"- and it is. A poem that has not been set free into words yet! The chickens have started laying...finally!!! I've found ten already! lol We're havin' an egg race...Steve the rooster is still guarding the back yard, i think even more meanly then he used to...i found out a way to escape from being pecked by his awful beak...kick off your flipflops, scream at the top of your lungs and run for your life!!! No, i'm not kidding i think he runs faster then dogs- he will be right on your heels...it's so scary! I've got to start standing up to him, and show'em who's boss! : p

I want to wish my Mama the most greatest birthday EVER!!! She turned 46 October 15!! She's the most awesome Mama in the whole entire universe! :) I mean com'n what Mama's do you know would go on hayrides w/ her crazy kids, explore the old remains of the dear old mill...lol ( that was an awesome day) Cook a million times a day for the kids who never get filled up, teach four art classes every week, keep the house up... teach eight kids, the first all the way from k5 to 12 grade! Work at home....and be the greatest friend to her kids!! There are just so many great things i could keep on mentioning, but sadly not the time....i really hope she sees how awesome she is!!! I wrote this poem to her for her b-day!

Fall

Days grow shorter
Trees grow barer
I watch as the flowers die
Leaves all flutter
With each other, throughout the darkened sky.

Barren ground recives
A blanket of new leaves
We rake them up high
Jump, and make believe
We're soaring through the sky

Air feels crisp and clear
I close my eyes real tight...
Smell Mama bakin' pumpkin pies
Beneath the kitchen light

It's fall down here
A breeze is blowin' by
Everything is going right
And I don't even wonder why...

A Saying from the one and only - Israel Long ! :)

Issie on the subject of going to the dentist:

" I don't like the dentist because the women have yellow spiky hair, they
load up on lipstick and yell at you!"

Summer Pictures- Ain't they purty!!
