Ellie's Haiku

Snow is coming down
Landing, Melting on the ground
Winter snow days? No!

When did your snow come? Ours came October 1st and it is still snowing on the first of April! We are not supposed to have winter snow days now we already had those. Where did you spend most of your time this winter? What is your favorite thing to do when it snows?

Finding Mercy

Have you ever been waiting a long time to get a pet of your own? So have I and I will share the story of when I got mine.   We drove to a local rancher’s place  and when we got there we were greeted by a dog barking and a friendly voice that said ‘Welcome!” Mrs. Kern showed us the pen where all of the yearling ewes were.  She had sorted out about 20 ewes for us to pick from. I chose an energetic white yearling that had orange eyelashes and orange spots down the side of her neck.  I named her Mercy. We then loaded Mercy along with my sister's sheep, Gwen, into the back of my Dad’s red F-15 0. We would head out shortly and drive 45 minutes back to our little farm, to a new home for these two sheep.  They were smarter than the other sheep that we had gotten last year and they laid down so they would not be so blown by the wind.  We got home and unloaded them out of the back of the truck . Dad had to back up to the ditch and we called them out. They ...

My Cat-Dog

My Cat- Dog by Olivia I’m on a case to figure out if I own cat-dog. I think my cat is turning into one! Here’s my evidence so far. My Chloe (that’s my cat’s name) often scratches at the door to be let out. “Squirrel! Squirrel!” she tells me. At first, I don’t believe her. I decide to check it out. “I declare! There really is a squirrel!” I tell her. Sometimes, she pulls herself along a carpeted floor with her front paws. I bet she’s too in love with the floor to leave it. I’ve seen my cousin’s corgi do something like that before, except I don’t think he was in love with the floor. I have another suspicion. My cat-dog chases her tail! I’ve definitely seen a dog do that. Well, I guess she doesn’t chase her tail, but she does bite it! Sometimes she even growls at it. “Ooh! Ooh!” she tells me. “My tail is moving! It’s wiggling! It’s so exciting! I must get it! I must get it! I’m a cat-dog so I must catch my tail!” This is so weird for me. It must stop. Hmm. Perhaps, No…. Wait………Y...

Yellowstone Trip

 It was the summer of 2017 when it all happened. We stopped at Soda Butte (a non active geyser on the side of the  road) for our annual trip past it into the valley. Most people don't know this, but it you walk down the path around Soda Butte, there is a beautiful landscape of streams and brooks that run over colorful rocks and sand. My dad is sort of a nature nerd so we always take off our shoes and go wading around looking for petrified wood and agates. It's always super fun, but this time something happened that ruined the rest of the trip for our whole family. This year our cousins were with us, so it was fun for us to show them around. My dad's cousin jumped across a larger stream with no trouble at all. My mom, in the meantime, usually has dad carry her across, thought she could jump over the stream with the same agility, leapt across and landed with both feet on the rocks on the other side. As she landed she heard her knee pop out to the side and she crumpl...
