I got a drawing program for my computer. I don’t like it as much as drawing on paper, but I have more control over the colours and textures. It’s also neat watching the mirror image growing on the other side of the picture.
New pictures
I have been experimenting with abstract art. Here are two of them. Enjoy!
Roses, Violets and Dogs
Violets are blue,
I’m thinking of you.
Roses are red.
I’m on the floor,
sitting by the door,
Writing a poem to you.
Qwertyasdf
that crazy mastiff
wanted to write some too.
And now he is snoring
thinking this is boring……
I forgot what came after “red”.
Watercolour dragon
One of the things we did for the first day of school is paint. I prefer dry media because I can put my hand on it without letting it dry. I think if I could figure out the water to paint ratio I’d like it better.
Flower Eating Alpaca
The Battle
I wrote this poem last year and never shared it 🙂
The Battle
Oh! How they sought us,
thirsting
Oh! How they fought us,
thirsting for blood.
We are strong and they,
they are weak.
Weak and thirsting.
They fell left and right
weak but thirsting for blood.
Th’o we killed many
as they searched for blood,
still they came,
searching for blood.
We left, retreated, from the field.
Left them looking.
We left, to itch our welts.
Let them look, look for blood.
I shall return,
for my blood they shall yearn
but they shall not touch me,
me and my mosquito spray!
Lake Ann- Chapel
One of the things we do at Lake Ann is chapel. All of the different age groups get different speakers except for the last day which is combined chapel. Before Mr. Rudolph or who ever is going to speak, Heartsong comes up to lead worship. We always learn new songs but I like it more when we review old ones.
I am looking forward to camp this year! We are going next week and I hope to see some people we know from around here. Our old church is sending a bus load the same week we are going!
Thank you Lake Ann Camp for permission to use this picture on my blog!
Fin
One of the alpacas got sick and died the other day. I’m not sure what was wrong with her. So now we need to feed her baby, Fin.
He needs fed three times a day, so I go over at mealtimes. He does not like the bottle (or me?) so he fights a lot. In a way that’s good, I can tell he is healthy, but it makes it hard to do things with him.
I hope he calms down before we need to teach him to walk on the harness.

Why Grandma should go Paragliding with me.
I would like to go paragliding more then snorkeling mostly because it sounds neater. I think that fewer people go paragliding. I do not know the numbers, but you don’t see camps taking the kids on paragliding trips.
Perhaps the reason Grandma should go paragliding with me is to get away from the snakes. When snorkeling you are in danger of encountering both water snakes and the everyday snakes you find on land. When paragliding you only really need to look out for them when you take off and land. The only times you need to look out for flying snakes are when you are in the Amazon or above a Barbarian Horde that is lobbing snakes over castle walls. I don’t know the numbers, but I don’t think those happen very often.
Grandma, shall we schedule a paragliding trip soon?
