Growing Flowers

We planted planted these flowers last Monday. We have been having a lot of fun watching them grow.

The Flower

By Ellen Vogltanz

A flower is a beautiful sight,

When I see it in the light,

But when I have to go inside,

I'll still see it by my side.

When I wake up in the morning,

I'll go outside and see,

My little flower friend,

As light as it can be.

But when it starts to rain ,

I'll have to go inside again.

I'm looking out the window pane,

I see the merry rain,

Dropping, drooping on my lane.

The End

This is a poem Ellen wrote today in our backyard.

The Squirrels In Our Neighborhood

Our neighbors set out corn for the squirrels and sometimes they like to come and have lunch in our yard. One squirrel decided that the corncob would be safe in the tree. (In the

picture above.)

All Things Bright and Beautiful

by Cecil Alexandar

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning,
That brighten up the sky;

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

The tall trees in the greenwood,
the meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
We gather every day;

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

An Ear Flap Hat

This is a hat I made with some yarn that my grandma gave me. My cousin Amilia tried the hat on and it looked so cute I made her one.

This is the hat I made for Amilia.

The Sixth Craft Hope Project

The sixth craft hope project was making scarves for children who had graduated from high school who were in the Foster Care system. This is the scarf I made.
