PIANO!!!! and Updates

   Hello, 
               Me and Lucy started piano  again and got a new teacher (my mom can tell you about it) about four weeks ago!! It is pretty exciting and the teacher is nice too. I am starting in the (sort of middle) grade one books and am doing good and catching up to where I was before I got a new teacher. I am sorry I keep forgetting to type on here but we are so busy with school work and stuff that I don't get to and also forget. Cloudy's egg did not hatch yet grrr... but I am wishing for it to anyway. I am going to try to go on my blog more often than I am usualy but if I don't it is because I am busy with other things. If you want to know something cool listen to this... I started a new book sieries!! It is called: the Enchanted Forest Chronicles By:Patrica C. Wrede and the first book is Dealing With Dragons and although the cover looks pretty odd It is a really good book also the second book which I am on. I hope you liked my updates!!! 


   BYE!!!

Contest

  Hello I entered a contest! It is called: Lanie's Backyard Photo Contest and what you need to do is snap five nature photos that you chose on the list and then write a nature note! I'll type my nature note that I wrote for you so you can see it. Here it is....




                        I am inspired by nature when I see things really beautiful.  I love to find different things and put it together to make something really amazing out of nature.  I love nature very much and I feel sad when I see it being treated badly.  I hope everyone can try to treat it more nicely.  I love how it feels when I lay back in the nice soft grass and look up at the sky.  When I go to Nature Camp in Rappahannock I feel very happy because I get to learn about nature and be able to get close and study it.  I have a rock and mineral collection with some really pretty rocks and things that look like they could not be real, but they are.  I also collect really pretty feathers that I find from all sorts of birds like chickens, parakeets, cockatiels, and guinea hen feathers.  I like to sometimes draw and make poems of the pretty stuff I see about nature.  I love nature everywhere.

Wish me luck!

Cloudy

  Hi, I have some very sad news, Cloudy died two days ago. When I saw she was sick we could not take her to a doctor because it was the weekend and we could not do anything about it. She was egg bound so she died suffering which made it more sad...  Sunny is heartbroken and is screeching like crazy ever since it happened. I loved her very, very, much and I know I will miss her a lot. She died in my hands. (very sad moment) We are trying to take care of the egg she layed a few days before it happened. I hope she is happy in heaven.   

Assignment

  Hi, sorry for not typing for a while but I guess I was just busy, let me tell you a few things thats going on right now before I get to the assignment part. We took all of Cloudy's eggs out to give her a very long break and to get her healthier again and it seems to be working. It is almost Christmas and I need to get busy with presents so I can be ready for the holiday. Let me tell you what I wrote for one of my assignments for school.    


                                                                 Poseidon:
      Poseidon was the god of the sea. His mother, Rhea and his father, Cronus had many other children besides  him. They were named Hestia, Demeter, Hera, and also Hades. Poseidon's cyclops uncles made things for Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. The things were thunderbolts for Zeus, a trident for Poseidon, and a helmet of darkness for Hades. Poseidon was a moody god and when he was mad he flooded the land or made the water very rough and when he struck the earth mountains erupted. When he was calm rivers dried and islands formed. He created the first horse from a rock and raced the waves with his horse-drawn chariot. Usually he stayed underwater in a palace with his queen, Amphitrite, a lovely sea godess. They had three children together, though he had many more because like Zeus, he could not resist goddesses, nymphs, or mortals. He also had three giant sons Otus, Ephialtes, and Orion. Orion was modest unlike the other two which were not. That is the end!!       

Hi!!

   Hello, I'm sorry I have not typed on my blog for a long time but I guess I just was too busy with home school lately that I couldn't, then, but I can now! That reminds me that I wanted to talk about home school! Home school is doing great right now and we have been getting a lot of stuff  done. We also got the movie "UP" last night! It is a great movie, and I highly reccommend that you watch it. :) That reminds me of another thing, my mom's birthday is coming up in a week so remember to tell her Happy Birthday when that time comes. I am going to talk about an update on the birds. None of the eggs hatched, I am sorry to say, due to Cloudy not sitting on them for two days recently and they might have been fried on the day of the incident on my last post. They have been mating a lot though so at least they are going to lay a lot more eggs! We are going to throw away the dead ones because they passed the day that they were going to hatch. I finished reading "A Single Shard".  It was a really great book about an orphan named Tree Ear.  It's sad in some parts, but I really like it, and I hope you like it too. Thats all, really.  Good bye!

P.S. Cloudy just laid a new egg today!  We'll see if we have better luck this time.

Sigh...........

    Hi, I'm pretty sad right now let me tell you why. Today Evelyn broke one of the eggs!!! It started like this, we were changing the cage when my mom thought we needed to change the nesting box. So we changed it and replaced the rages that was inside to shredded paper towels. Then about five minutes later Cloudy still didn't go in the nesting box so we knew something was wrong. Then I remembered that on the computer that cockatiels like to use one kind of material while their nesting. So Lucy and I changed it again and put rages in it like before but when cloudy still did not sit on the eggs (theirs five eggs) we decided to take it into our own hands. First we got a strong lamp to keep the eggs warm and a box, then we took the nesting box, put it in the other box and turned the light on. Then a few minutes later I heard a crash from the light! I ran over their and I saw one of of the eggs was broken as well as Evelyn standing right over the box!!! We fixed the problem and we gave a funeral to the almost fully developed chick. After my mom came in and said when she went to check on them that they were too hot!! She turned the light off  and then took the nesting box back into the cage. I am praying and fasting for them and if you can PLEASE FAST AND PRAY FOR THEM TOO!!!!  Bye :(                

Lots of news!

Cloudy sitting on her eggs

    Hello! I'm sorry I haven't typed for a while but I guess I have been so excited lately with all the news I haven't gotten around to it!! First of all I want to talk about the birds. Cloudy has lain eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that exciting?! Let me tell you about it, when we were at the beach (Lucy is talking about it on her blog) the person who was taking care of our pets called us on October eighth and told us that she saw a egg in one of the corners of the cockatiel's cage. she told us whenever she tried to put the blanket on the birds cage so they could go to sleep Sunny started squawking! Which means they are being protective of their egg! Four days later when we got home from the beach we looked in the cage and... there was three more eggs! We looked again and we saw the first one that Cloudy laid was broken which means that the egg shell was not strong and thick enough. The other eggs were okay though. Today Cloudy is starting getting bound to her eggs witch means that she is going to sit on them a lot! I am not reading anything right now so I hope you enjoy what I wrote. Until next time!!!
