Young Maiden's Daybook~5/25

Today...Monday, May 25, 2009

Outside my window...Is really cloudy, every now and then the sun will peak through the clouds, warm out, almost a great day for yard work, :)
I am thinking...I am actually making a list of around the house and yard stuff that needs to be done today. It is getting pretty long. Should get started after this post.

I am thankful for...Great "bloggy" friends that I can relate too. That inspire me. :)

I am wearing...My "yard" shorts, my purple shirt that I got from Disney World that reads "Sometimes princess, sometimes pirate.", and my hair is up.

I am reading...Same as before. Have not caught up on my reading yet.

I am creating...I am hoping to make chocolate chip cookies later on today.

One of my favorite things...A clean house. With no toys on the floor, that I have to dodge. :)

For education this week...I am working on my "end of grade" tests.

A keeper at home-skill I am using/learning...Keeping a clean house.

A spiritual lesson I am learning...Reaching out to others.

A godly character trait I plan to work on...Suffereth long, is kind, envieth not, vaunteth not itself, isn't puffed up, behaveth not unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, rejoiceth in truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things, and never faileth!

Scripture I am memorizing...Proverbs 31

For the rest of the week...Mom has work on Tuesday and Thursday, I have youth group on Wednesday, and I think we are going on our first home-school group field trip this weekend.

A picture I'd like to share...Our "Little Bunny Foo-foo"!

Some More Backyard Pictures!!!

After cleaning Sunday afternoon, I got bored. So I went out in our backyard to take some pictures.

We just planted this peach tree. This is the first fruit tree we have ever tried to grow.

This is Momma's lavender she planted a while back. It started blooming after the rain finished it's first round. You can really smell the scent right after it rains.

These are the latest additions to my garden. These are impatiens. I am hoping every two weeks to get some more flowers to fill in my garden. The top one is pink, the bottom one is orange.


I snapped a picture of our hens taking dirt baths. At first I thought they were dead, because they were on their sides. The top one is Pikachu or Ash (Pokemon characters), the one on the left is Cinco, and the one on the right is Lacy. Pikachu and Ash are buff orpingtons, Cinco is a salmon favorelle, and Lacy is Polish, aka top-hatter.

This is our corn.


These are two of our green bean plants.

This is our whole patch of squash and green beans.

This is our whole patch of corn, with the peach tree in the background.


I was planning on taking more pictures, but, my camera's battery was dying.

Spring From My Backyard!

This is my garden - finally planted.

These are some orange gerber daisies we bought.

This is a picture of an iris from our front yard. I have no clue when we planted it. I thought the picture turned out great.

This is my new flock that I have to take care of for one of my chores. We just put them in the coop. We found out a couple of days ago that we have two roosters. When I was feeding them one morning I heard a crow from one of them. One of them is the black one with white spots, on the far right side.

I love walking around bare footed in my back yard. Especially in spring and summer.

Herb Festival

Every spring, a herb festival is held at our local farmer's market.

Mom and I had a great time looking at all the homemade stuff and the herbs that local farmers grew.

I am wanting my own flower garden this year. So later own today Mom and I are going in the front yard and figuring out which garden I can get. Mom asked me if I was wanting to plant some herbs this year. I told her since this is my first garden that I am wanting to try flowers this year. Then next year I will do herbs. And this evening I am going to probably get me some seedlings from a store.
