Nature Photography day

I was excited about this holiday when I found out about it because I LOVE taking nature pictures...though our camera card died! The only pictures I could get where with my phone and they didn't come out good at all. Of course we got a new card right AFTER I needed it. Though if you would like to see some nature photography you can check one of my other blogs, here's a link, I like to put some of my pictures on here. Take a look.

Blood Donner day

Ok, I was planning on donating blood for this holiday but I couldn't because I have Lyme. My mom didn't want me to because she was worried that that much blood being taken out of me would be bad for me because I'm so sick, then we found out by my massage therapist that if someone has Lyme then they can NEVER donate blood because it stays in the blood system once you have it...So I couldn't celebrate that, and I wanted to too! Oh well. Happy Blood Donner day anyhoo.

Queen's official Birthday

I sang Happy birthday to the queen of England - what else would I do!?
Haaappy Birrrrthdaaay too yoooou!

June Tenth

Today there are two holidays that I celebrated. The first is Ball point pen day, I made sure all the writing I was doing was with a - I bet you can't guess - ball point pen. And It's Iced tea day so I had a glass of iced tea. Do you know that they make iced tea bags that can be brewed in cold water? Isn't that the coolest thing?!  Happy those!

Donald Duck day

My sister and I watched Donald Duck on You Tube...fun. fun.

Hot-Air Balloon day

I made a hot-air ballon our of paper and tape. Our camera card is dead so I am unable to take pictures...we are going to get a new one soon- we hope.

Bare Foot Day and Hug Your Cat day

Today is Bare foot day- I don;t know if you remember but we have had a couple one day without shoes days...this is different though, this has no cause. The one day without shoes days had a cause - to make people aware of all the kids who have no shoes - this is just to go bare foot! I never object to going bare foot!

And there's another hug your cat day, I hugged mine and my momma's!

Milk days

June 1 through 3 are milk days...I don't like milk (and yes I do milk goats twice a day!) I drink Ovaltine instead. So I had ovaltine each of the milk days!

Donut day

We made donuts for donut day! Though My dad took the pictures on his phone and sent them to me in some weird format so I'm having a lot of trouble getting them on here...let's see...Look! I did it! yaay! 

They don't look very appetizing in the picture but they were DELICIOUS!

We did cinnamon, powdered sugar, and just sugar.

Hug Your Cat day

This one was real easy! Mom's got her new Kitten and I've got my cat Lila...So we hugged them!
I had pictures of us huggin them but for some reason I can't find them....we had a bit of camera trouble so I was wondering if they were just never downloaded. Sorry.

Memorial day

Dee (our Grandmother) came up for Memorial day. We had a cook out- actually it was a cook in and eat out! We have no way of cooking 'out' so we cooked burgers on the stove and ate out side under out awning. We didn't feel much like going to the parade this year.
Oh and dad and I made a Chicken coop today! It has nothing to do with Chickens but it's exciting!
Happy Memorial day!

Pentecost Sunday

Dad taught about what the Pentecost is at Church today, we house church with one other family. I don't feel like going into details but I learned about what the Pentecost is.

Old-Time Player Piano Week

 May 25-28 is Old Time Player Piano week. Here's our New Player! 

You pump the petals to get the player to work. It pushes on bellows that blow air to make the sound come through the roll, very fascinating! 

 It doesn't have the player in it right now because it needs repairing but it's still a player piano!

 I REALLY like this piano, It has a very rich, full, deep sound...and even the higher keys are very crisp. ..It's a great piano.  And it seems I'm not the only one who likes it.

International Tiara day

Mary wore this Tiara ALL DAY! And nobody asked her any questions. Happy Tiara day....and yes I did celebrate it, I made the tiara!

Brother's day

So, if mothers and fathers need there own day...then so do brothers...oh, brother!
I gave them some candy, I think they were happy with that! haha!

National Taffy day

We have Taffy in our shop (Barely Harvest) for five cents each! they are very yummy n soft! 

 I took the picture with my phone-sorry for the quality.

Health related monthlies

There are A LOT of health related monthly holidays this month, I have a really boring high school text book called 'Total Health; Choices for a winning life style' so for certain holidays - that have some thing on the health subject that are in this book- I just read about them. I'll list them and give the description that the health book gives.


Arthritis Awareness month
Arthritis: Condition characterized by pain, swelling,  stiffness, and redness in the joints. Also known as inflammation of  a joint or joints.


National Allergy/asthma awareness month
Allergen: A substance to which a person's body is particularly sensitive.
Asthma: A respiratory condition where the air passage in the bronchial tree swell and constrict.


Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month
There was a big long section on Melanoma and skin cancer in the book but for some reason there's no definition.


World Lyme Disease Awareness month
I am VERY aware of Lyme disease and I don't need a book to tell me what it's like - I have it and have had it for ten months. I was going to put the definition here any way but again- there is none. Though I do remember the section on Lyme being just a short paragraph.


National Mental Health Month
Ok...so there are way less descriptions than I thought. this one doesn't have one either though it was a long section in the book...what ever!


National Osteoporosis Prevention month
Osteoporosis: A condition that results in a loss of bone tissue.
My dad also had me read an article on osteoporosis that he wrote. He has it on his website some where!


National Blood Pressure month
Blood Pressure: The measure of the resistance to blood flow in the vessels and the efficiency of circulation.


That's it for now, I may add more later though! Sorry for boring you!
Oh, one other thing. Blogger wouldn't let me publish this because there were too many words in the labels...so i took out some words. Sorry if you have trouble finding things.

Fruits and Veggies!

This month is Carrots and Cauliflower month, Grapefruit and kiwi month, Potatoes and Limes month, and Gifts from the Garden Month. 

  So for all these we went to Fiddle Head Farms  (I love that place!)  and bought all those things! We also bought Fiddle heads...but not for a holiday, Just to try!
  I only have pictures right now of the grapefruit and Kiwi but if I take more I'll be sure to post them. Our cameras acting up right now so I may not be able to take pictures for a while but with any luck we'll solve the problem!

Potatoes and Limes Month

I made mashed sweet potatoes with lime juice in it for dinner, it was DELICIOUS! Here's the recipe I used . I really liked it

National new friends old friends week

My oldest friend I would have to say (Other than relatives) is Brittany. She's been my best friend since I was five and she was two! We go way back - hehee!
My newest friend I'd have to say is Carly...I've known of her existence for about a year but I've really only 'known' her (even her name) since January. We know from our Ballet recital but we are in a different class, she's a much better dancer than me!
Happy New friends old friends week!
