(ok thats a dutch word but it fits best) So i'm really excited but im just not quite sure how i'm supposed to taked care of ten of the little things. (the birds have so many they dont know what to do with them all so im gonna have to hand raise all but four or so.) I think i have my work cut out for me. ella's the proud papa (note the gender mismatch lol), only he doesnt really care now, he just wants to come out and eat some cheerios. lol.

A whisper in the hallway
A shadow on the wall
Presence in your room
But noone's there at all.

Hissing at the serpant
Grasping for my hand.
Drawing me, dragging me
To the Spirit Land.

Kicking my emotions
Wondering what to do
Knowing of the power
And asking if its true

Having ears to hear it
Using eyes to see
That forces of the underworld
Are reaching out for me.

So I’m doing a report on freemasonry, or, to be more specific, its influence on the foundings of the New Atlantis (otherwise known as the united states of America.) Its kinda freaky and I have to watch myself. Its satan worship, and I can tend to go way deeper into this spirit stuff than I should. (yeah just read that last poem) anyhow, if anyone wants to watch a really revealing movie on freemasonry, check out Riddles in Stone. Its long… really long, but its worth the time, or at least it was for me. I kinda want to find one of the neighbors I know or something like that who is a mason and interview them. So we’ll see.

Ttyl,
conrad

Look into the darkness
Tell me what you see.
A world of writhing spirits
Is staring back at me.

Watch for flitting figures
Presence at your back.
Shut your eyes, Run and hide
Your souls under attack.

Spirit World. You dont know
What your dabbling in.
You can fight for all your worth
But you will never win.

power comes with price tags
Ask and you'll recieve.
You can enter anytime
But you will never leave.

cala lily + lily

something about me right now caan hardly find the words to describe life right now... I'm trying to in poetry and pics... so whatever.

"An excellent picture is like a beautiful piece of music... frozen in visual form."

I thought that was kinda cool

alright everybody out there just have a blast wherever you are and live your life to its max.

just me again,

conrad

red lily take #2

Moonlight on the path.
Through the twisted realm of angels wings
Over the night a clear voice sings
Like moonlight on the path.

Moonlight on the path.
Naught but the soul can feel its power
Till heaven’s bells will toll the hour
For moonlight on your path.

Moonlight on your path
Is what you’ll never know unless
You find the one who knows you best
Like moonlight on your path.

only thing i hate about this pic... focus is off to the top and the clarity of the thing isnt so hot... but any way, this is some of what i was doing this afternoon.

oh yeah... and i biked 25 miles with Leonard. It was fun.
for some reason I dont feel like bloggin right now so thats all for now...

ttyl,

reflections

twin sisters

Hello again.
Today was really fun. I woke up at 7:45 and quickly did some garden work before I biked to Mommy and Dawdy’s house. I took the cameras (plural because we just got a new wun) because they have some pretty burds around their place. But I didn’t really get any good pics. Mommy went to the hospital today. When I was there she said that “fleich iss yoosht die flue.” Must have been some flue to cause shallow breathing, heavy chest, fatigue, and arm pains. She was on the verge of a heart attack. Bummer. So I’m kinda getting myself ready for when she kicks the bucket.
Oh yeah… I touched a morning dove today… snuck up into a tree under its nest. really fun. :)
Mom is in the hospital yet till tomorrow. That means I have to do wash tomorrow. Whatever.

aaaand.
my cockatiels have SIXTEEN EGGS!!! wowzers. ok that really excites me. Ella is sitting on my back right now begging to be scratched... lol weird bird. :)

conrad

lilies and ferns

there's a wheat or barley field right below our house. I'm really enjoying it right now so I used the flowers for subjects.

Last night we had a class party. It was fun... sorta. I biked home and learned a valuable lesson. >ahem<
"If thou art biking home in the darkness of night, beware of little stakes poking out of the ground, lest happly thou shalt drive upon them unawares, and fly heels over teakettle into the midst of the highway." (Conrad 8:17)

So that wasn't very fun.

bye bye kids,
conrad

So today I had the honorable task of mishting out the horse stall. It was only 2.5 to 3 ft. deep at the worst spots. So that’s what kept me out of trouble all morning. Then after lunch I made a deal with Thomas and Jofus and Johnny that if they could make me wet I would have a water battle with them. LOL. It was great. So I was running around in the field trying to keep dry most of the early afternoon.
The youth are on tour so Conrad is doing everything Caleb normally does at Bens. I just keep chanting. payday payday payday payday. :)
I should probably go to Ben’s now.

conrad

poppys

These pics aren't loooking right once i upload them onto blogger. Maybe its my screen? so if they look a little weird you know why.

I went biking today. It started out with just me, and in the end there were like four guys biking. I went to Leonard and James’ house and then we asked Dwayne if he wants to go with us. We biked to Smoketown airport to see if there’s any planes taking off. Oh yeah and this sinister soda machine went and ate Leonard’s dollar and didn’t give us any soda back… little rotter. So then we dropped Dwayne off at his house and then went to James house. And then I biked home… so that was fun.

This week Conrad is gonna be really busy cuz the youth are on tour. That means I milk in the morning and in the evening at Bens. I’m really looking forward to payday. : )

An Irish Blessing That’s Been Ringing in My Head

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rain fall soft upon your field
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Ttyl guys,
conrad
