Snakes

I was 4 in this picture. A long time ago. But I still catch snakes. We have a lot of snakes here.

I few weeks ago I caught a garter snake for our friend Hooter. It was his birthday and he likes snakes. He got it to eat a small mouse and he said it was a keeper.

I like snakes. But they bite. When I first tried catching snakes, mom says that I came running to the house crying, a baby garter snake had bite my finger. She said it was still hanging from my finger when she came outside.

Creek Flood

This picture is our creek, that's my Uncle and aunt in the picture.

We were at the farm, taking cows out. I went to the creek with my brothers. It had been raining hard. We could barely see the road as we went. We made a dam at the creek. Mom told us to stay away from the creek, I was trying to tell my brother Large not to go. But he went because he wanted to, he kept ignoring me.

The water rose really fast, I was not scared. We made a pathway in the water. I wasn't sitting in the water, Large and medium where in the water, and Large's friend. The island was covered by water.

Large's friend held on to a tree branch. The water tried to take him away. We left because Large started to leave. I didn't hear mom yelling for me. Mom was mad when she found us by the house. She had been searching the creek. She was crying, she was scared that we drowned.

I won't go to the creek again when it's raining.

I want to be a cowboy

I want to ride bulls, but before I can do that I have to ride a sheep. Sheep run and buck, but are safer than bulls.



The sheep with horns is Bob Dole. I have to ride him first. Then I can ride the bulls.

At the farm

We went to the farm. I picked mulberries. I went into the tree, I shook the tree. They fell down onto the tarp. I ate them.

I got bumps on my arm. They did not hurt or itch.

I helped dad with the fence. I rolled it out. It was heavy. We are putting fence up so we can put the cows out.

I went to the creek. I played with my brothers. We walked in the water. I skipped rocks. I am not good at it on mud, not good on the water either. I will get better.

Meat Laser Chicken

Chickens have to scratch to keep alive because they get food

Our chickens are going to lay eggs.

I like to eat eggs.

There are 50 chickens in that pen.

We get too many eggs, mom saves them. We make cakes that take lots of eggs. Mom says we will sell some this year.

Yesterday mom asked me to round up all the chicks in the yard. So I got on my bike and scared them back into their pen.

They Call me Small

I am 6 years old. I live on a small farm, moving to a big farm after school is out. I have lots of animals, my favorite is our horse Sam. I like to ride her.

On our small farm I like building turkey pens, tearing down outbuildings with my dad, rolling in the mud, and chasing the chickens.

I don't like cow poop.

At the big farm I like the creek, all the big trees, and shooting the gun.

I don't like the ticks, and all the work we have to do.

That's all I want to say today. I will say more tomorrow.
