Spring has Sprung!

Ok, I know that it is almost the middle of May and that spring has been with us for a while, but spring has now fully sprung. The crocuses may have bloomed in March, but God must have held back the true splendor of the season through the cold spell in April. The azaleas, Irises, and rhododendrons are blooming, I found a robin’s nest with chicks in it, and the trees are fully leaved. Praise the Lord, spring has sprung!

Assateague Vacation

My family just came back from a vacation near Assateague Island, where the wild ponies live. We camp there at least once a year. While there this time, we also went to a small zoo in Maryland.

Some Sandhill Cranes at the zoo. What a funny noise! 

An emu. 

A red wolf.

A Bison.

A bald Eagle.

A pretty crab shell.

A live crab.

Seaside Poem

Seaside Days

Strolling up the seaside path,

Searching for a curly shell,

Running o’er to take a bath,

Splashing through a salty swell.

Laughing oh so merrily,

Standing on a sandy dune,

Dancing ‘round with joyful glee,

Noting that the night comes soon.

Watching heaven turn to gold,

Feeling breezes cool my skin,

Knowing that the day is old,

Leaving with that gold within.

Flowers

Hey everyone! Earth day was Mom and Dad’s anniversary; I babysat while Dad took Mom to dinner. Dad had gotten this hanging plant for Mom.

Hawk Mountain

Yesterday we went to Hawk Mountain, a migration sanctuary for raptors here in PA. I didn’t get any pictures of the birds, they flew to high up (exept for vultures). However, they had a nice garden where I got some pictures. One is of me and a few of the other kids that went. (It was a field trip.)

Mountains

Here are some beautiful mountains that we saw last week! ( I confess that the one with the really cool angle Daniel took.)

God's Creation Friday

Hello everyone! My Camera is currently charging, so I am going to say that it is my “God’s Creation Friday” and use bunches of pictures of nature that I’ve had for years, and next time I’ll give you pictures of the mountains I saw in Virginia/South Carolina.

The Majestic Ocean.

Thundering Creeks.
