Yikes! Spiders!!!!

I was sitting at the dining table reading a book. All was peaceful and quiet and just perfect for reading. When all of a sudden, I heard a disgusted sound in a room behind me. I turned around in my chair and was immediately greeted by a girl carrying a large blue blanket. Before I could say anything, the girl was stuffing part of the blanket in my face.
"Kill it please, Hannah."
I looked at the blanket (going cross-eyed because of the closeness of the blue mass) and noticed a long-legged spider scrambling for cover to escape his death.
"Eeooww!" I said pushing the blanket away.
I don’t like insects and I don’t to kill insects, but a sister of mine hates the very thought of it! And she is forever coming to me and pleading me to be the executioner of some ill-fated bug. And of course I always try to get out of it.
"Come on kill it." she urged.
"You kill it, you were the one who found it."
"No Hannah, I can’t. PLEASE KILL IT!!! "
"I am NOT going to kill it!"
This would have gone on till ‘the cows came home’ if I hadn’t noticed a muddy brown spot on the girl’s skirt. I couldn’t make out if it was a stain or some object stuck to her dress so I bent closer, she looked too. And at the same moment we realized it was another spider!!!!
"GET IT OFF!! OH HANNAH, GET IT!!!!" her voice becoming shrill.
I laughed and got up to get a fly-swatter (I figured she needed some help). She didn’t move a muscle, except for her tongue.
"HURRY UP!! THIS IS SOOOOO CREEPY!"
I came back still chuckling and began to swat at the fuzzy brown insect. I swatted and swatted at it and it wouldn’t come off!
"Come off you crazy bug!" I said.
And then suddenly it came off---more like jumped off.
"WWWAAAAAAHHHHH!" she screamed her voice reaching very high crescendo and we both jumped back.
The spider made a run for the blanket that had gotten thrown on the floor sometime after we had discovered this second intruder. I still was laughing pretty hard and that was disabling my aiming skills, so the bug did make it to the blanket unhurt.
The girl ran back into her bedroom saying something about it being my fault about the blanket being full of spiders because I had left it on the clothesline too long, and so I should take care of it.
I took care of the blanket and the spider and went back to my book but had a hard time concentrating on it. And when Mom and Dad came home from a fishing trip I had to tell them, but I’m not sure if they understood totally, I was laughing so hard.
Whenever I tease Britt about her spider and bloody murder scream. She just rolls her eyes and walks off. But really she did scream louder than I’ve ever heard her scream. And over a little spider!!

Question

As you can tell, I'm not very good at keeping this blog updated. So I'd like some input from ya'll out there. What kind of things do you want to read about here? I want everybody's opinion. Please comment!

Psalms 62:5-8

My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.
In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.

Oh, I Miss Her!

What's Been Going on Lately

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t blogged for a while. But you know there’s always that thing that’s higher up on your to do list than computer time. And that is work ;P. And work means busy, and busy means you might not get enough time on the computer than you want.

As I sit here typing this, I can hear; Canon in D playing on the computer, Mom playing the piano, and the lovely music of people talking out in the kitchen (where I probably should be right now). There are several smells wafting through out the house as well; probably the strongest scent is Vinegar but at this time of year I like the smell cuz it means canning and freezing and stocking up food for winter. Once in a while I smell that sweet smell of apples simmering on the stove, and if you went into the kitchen right now and stuck your nose over the big pan on the stove you would smell tomatoes, apples, cucumbers, sugar, hot pepper, garlic, cinnamon, ginger, and salt all blended together and getting boiled down to be made into Chutney.

Amigo (the prettiest horse we’ve got) somehow managed to get a long ugly gash across his ribs and stomach! It’s not that deep but it’ll leave a scar :(!

Yesterday and today, Levi has been working on making a little cart that Tinker will pull. It’s very cute but I don’t know if Tinker thinks it is =D! I know, I know, we need to make the shafts a little shorter ;P.



Well I better go get back to the kitchen and help Britt, but here’s another picture. Dad just bought an Olympus 6.0 MP Digital Camera and I’m having a lot of fun with it! I found this little black-eyed-susan and it happened to have a little tiny bee busily sipping nectar. Isn’t it cute!
