Cleaning the Bookshelf

Hi, this is Laura taking a turn at writing a blog post. As you probably already know, the job usually gets left to Emily. But the other day I came across some really great inspiration that was worth sharing. I was cleaning my bookshelf and going through years of writings and drawings. I spent a good share of the time reading and laughing at my stories and terrible spelling. But the best by far were a couple pages of poems I wrote at one point. Of course I never dated my work so I have no idea how long ago I wrote them, but judging from the handwriting, it's been awhile! So here's a few of my masterpieces. Enjoy!  (Note: I've copied these as closely as possible from the originals. So expect misspelled words.)

People
Some are red some are white
some are yellow and some have might
some are weak and some are strong
some are there and then are gone

To God their all so special
for their his Holy vessels
God knows all of their Troubles
for their like his own bubbles 

(Don't ask me what bubbles have to do with anything, but it rhymes!)


Sail across the ocean Sail across the sea
Sail across Superior and get away from me
Fly over the treetops Fly across a field
Fly acroos Prairie and swoop when I say yield

(Please don't take it personally, but once again, it rhymes!)

Winter
The nights are long
The days are short
in houses we belong
houses filled with candle sticks
and other little Picks

Hope you enjoyed! Have a great day, and remember: you're special to God, just like His bubbles!

A Spring Get-Away

We had a great trip this past weekend. Our family was able to get away for a few days before everything gets really busy on the farm. We headed south to the state of Missouri, and it was really fun to see tall green grass and trees fully leafed out, but then hard to come home to cooler weather, bare trees and brown. But spring is on it's way here too, right? (As I write this, it's cold outside and it's snowing- Can I go back to MO?) Enjoy some snapshots of the trip. The Laura Ingalls Wilder cabin near Pepin WI. I've always enjoyed her books and it was interesting to see just how small the "little house in the big woods" was. Only now it's surrounded by fields and cleared land. Not very big is it?! We made a stop at Bass Pro Shop near Des Moines (a city that was incorrectly pronounced for fun the entire trip). This was probably Silas' favorite part of the trip. He loved it and could have spent hours there.... however some of us were ready to ...

Montana 2024

   For our family trip this year we went to Montana! We took lots of pictures and I am finally getting some shared with you. Enjoy! On the way out, we stopped to see the North Dakota badlands in Teddy Roosevelt National Park.     The first night we camped at a campground on the East edge of Glacier National Park. The next day, we made our way through the park. Then we crossed the 560' Hungry Horse Dam and camped on the reservoir. The next day we went for a hike. Huckleberries!! The mountainside was covered in huckleberries and we had a lot of fun picking some to bring home. We went back to the East side of the mountains to camp that night, then hiked part way up the mountain the next morning before heading for home.
