Fall

Can't you just feel fall in the air? It's still warm and yet fall is there, however faint.
How sad. I love summer best. It's when you can go swimming and go barefoot. (I think going barefoot is the best.) Fall is, of course, nice too. It's when you go walking and you hear the crunch of leaves under foot. And the smell of leaves is wonderful! But fall means winter and winter means coldness. ( which means no going barefoot.)
But when winter is here and the lovely snow starts falling, and I get used to it, I will love it too. Just, when it first starts coming, it's kind of depressing. All the flowers dying, and the grass, and the leaves are no longer there to rustle in the wind........

I've got my new blog

I made my new blog! I'm soooooo happy. I have posted one post so far and it is only the intro.
But here it is. http://it-is-all-about-books.blogspot.com/
*smiles real big*

New blog

I am going to make another blog. It is going to be all about............. BOOKS!
Excerpts from books I like, favorite books, what I'm reading and reviews.
Since I love reading I thought an all book blog would be fun to do.

I went riding!

This past Saturday, I went to a sleepover at my friend's house. She lives on a farm. After we ate, one of the girls there said she had to go home and ride her horse but she would be back. She lives at the next farm and we were able to go with her and ride too. I have never gone riding before, but have always wanted to, so I was very excited that one of my dreams was coming true. When we got there they brought out the horses and brushed them off and put the saddles on. The horses' names are Coffee, Mooner, and Ruby. We got on and started to ride. There were three horses and five girls so I had to ride with another girl. She rode in front but when we turned around to go back she let me ride in front! We kept them at a walk most of the time but a few times we loped. I was very sore after that and I still ache a little but I am glad I got to ride and can't wait to do it again.

Dad Hard At Work.

Dad has his own business going. He resurfaces steps and sidewalks and things like that. Well, he got a job making a walkway for our neighbor.


























He colored the cement
to match the shutters
at our neighbor's request.

My job was to fill the
buckets with sand.

He did an imprint on the cement to make it look like slate rock.

So Nice!

Friends

This is a little something I wrote.

Sometimes when people make friends they pick the people that are nice or look like they will be nice. Some people pick friends very slowly and it takes time for them to become friends. Then there are people who make friends with whoever comes her or his way. And then again, there are people who will be nice to you and slowly make you, willing or not, to like them. I am one of those people. Let me explain what I mean. I had a friend that I had made, in a sense, like me. I was in soccer and she was on my team. She was having trouble making friends at school, and when she did they would turn their back on her. She decided that she would not make friends at soccer just to have them go away. (In other words, when you make friends at sports you might call each other for a week or so, but you probably don't stay in touch that long. ) I was sitting on my ball looking at all the girls when I saw her. When I see someone I like I make friends with them, or try to. Well, she was the chosen prey. And as I said before, she did not want to make friends. But I, not knowing this, started with a friendly "hi" as anyone does when meeting someone new. Then I asked questions. The first one of course was, "What is your name?" then came, "How old are you?" and so forth. Soon I had her talking. As she told me later, she was only being nice, but as I said, I got her talking and we became friends. Week after week we called each other, even after soccer was over for the season. It has been five years now and we are as close as ever.

first snow

Andrew, Sophie, and I built our first snowmen of the season.
