Syrup. sticky, gooey, syrup.

We have now officially started syrup season! We have the whole woods tapped and ready to go, and we've been boiling the last four days.... Fun. ;) Now I have the job of fixing leaks and canning the syrup. We are going to be busy with that for a while now. If you ever want to come out and see how it works your welcome to!! :)

The Only Good Kind of Patty is NOT a Cow Patty

The day before yesterday when I was taking care of the chickens, I decided to go out and say hello to the cows cause they looked so sweet. Susan was the only one that was laying down so I sat down beside her and started petting her neck. when after a while it starts to feel kinda wet, like it does when you sit on the ground after a little rain, so I didnt think anything of it. But, when I finally got up I realized I had sat in a cow patty... That was disgusting. Naturally I just scrape it off with my glove and go on with my life. But, I will inform you, when my mom saw my bottom I was not allowed in the house untill I had changed. And that is why the only good kind of patty is not a cow patty. :)

Four days to catch up...

I have not been able to get online for four days now, and I thought I would tell you all the awesome things I have been doing;

First of all, on Monday I made these amazing cookies that tasted terrible, here is what they looked like:

delicous looking right? Not! I cannot cook.

Then on Tuesday, I went to my Art class and started working on painting a big rose. that was fun. The rest of the day I read. I love reading. :)
On Wednesday, I read almost all day,  went to piano lessonsthat night, then went home and read some more. And then I stayed late doing homework that I had waited to do till the day before it was due, And then, I read some more until four thirty in the morning. that wasnt smart of me, huh?
Then Thursday I went to co-op and dissected a perch. That was SO....Utterly...Awesome!! And I cut my finger on its anterior dorsel fin. that was fun too. Just Kidding. Then, I spent an awesome day with Valerie Augsburger watching Jane Eyre and eating all thier food. ;) And then went to quiz practice and stunk the Jones' house up with my awful quizzing abilities. Haha
And today, (Friday) I went to our church for Ginger Taft's Funeral service. That was very sad.
Well, thats all that has been happening with me. Now that Ive caught you up I want to share this verse:                       
                  Send forth your light and your truth,
                         let them guide me;
              Let them bring me to your holy mountain,
                  to the place where you dwell.                              
                                                                       Psalm 43:3

Amen.

My first entry... Ever!

This is my first blog entry in my Blob! I'm very excited, and I know you are too!
 Now, you may be wondering why I called it "Sarah's Blob" and not "Sarah's Blog". It's a long story. An since we both have time... (You obviously have some time on your hand if your reading my blog, I mean really, go dig a hole if you need something to do!) I was standing in the hall at the church we have our home-schooled Co-op at, and my friend Valerie was telling me about her new blog, (http://www.valliesveryownpersonalblogspot.blogspot.com/) and I was very excited about and said, "I want to start a blob!" Then we both laughed hysterically and I decided to call my blog a blob. so... there you have it, the reason it's called a Blob. I hope you enjoy the nonsense filled posts that are soon to come!
