The pretty little property

 The beautiful green grass

Makes you want to lay down and crash 

With pretty blue sky's 

Maybe you want to close your eyes 

Even a nice little house 

For you and your spouse 

Then watch the pretty sunset 

Hopefully the house keeps you out of debt

Spooky Story - The Legend of the Witch

 The Legend of the Witch

The legend goes, a little ole witch haunts the cemetery near a town named River, who will manifest its energy from your car to scare you into believing that it exists. . .


Long ago, there was a group of teenagers, boys and girls, who were having a little party on Halloween. Toward the end of the party, people were starting to leave, and the event was coming to an end. From here, the kids started talking about spooky things that have happened to them. These stories are those that sound like what you would hear at a campfire. They start bringing up urban legends such as the Blue Ball Bridge or the Ghost of Kelsey. The one that stuck out to them the most was the Witch of the River Cemetery. The kids have heard stories about their parents and others who have had eerie encounters with the witch. The kids did not believe the legend and thought that it would be a great idea to go to the cemetery and see if they would be proved wrong. 


The young kids hop into their truck and make the trek to the cemetery. Once they arrive, they see the grave of the witch. They roam the cemetery, terrorizing and threatening the witch. One boy even peed on the grave, hoping to get attention from her spirit. They did not notice anything odd or out of place when they made their decision to leave, as they were growing bored with being there. The kids start walking toward their car as they feel like something is staring at them from a mile away, but they notice this presence. They moved a little faster and got inside their car, looking around for something, but nothing was there. They lose hope in the cemetery and in the legend. However, when the driver goes to start the car, it just sits there and cranks without trying to start. He tries again, but still nothing. And again, and again, and again. Just as they noticed the battery on all of their phones and the car was starting to die, they made the decision to push the car outside of the gates in hopes that the car would work then. The three boys of the group get out and push the car out of he cemetery. As soon as they get out of the gates, the boys jump in, and the car cranks slowly, as the battery is almost dead, but it starts without issue. The group of teenagers gets out of there so fast that they forgot to shut the gate that blocks it off. As the kids were driving down the road, they started to feel a burning sensation around their necks. They start looking in all of the mirrors and looking at each other with all the lights on in the cab, and see how bad these what looked like rashes or burns, truly were. They all get home feeling very tired and nauseous. The kids did not want to fall asleep as they were terrified as to wake might happen in their sleep, but nothing did. The next morning, one of the teenage boys is super curious about why their necks were fire engine red the night before. He starts looking into the legend of the witch and finds that this witch was said to be hanged for her odd activity in the town around 1882. With this knowledge, he brings this up to his friends when he claims it was a feeling of how she was killed. 




Nothing new ever happened to these kids after they got home, but will something worse happen when they go next Halloween? I reckon we will never know. . .

I am

 

I am from books

    Night time stories every night before bed

I am from running

    Cross country races and long trail runs

I am from gardens

    Fresh vegetables for summer lunches

I am from evening drives

    Long drives through many small towns

I am from firepits

    Families gathering on cool evenings around a fire

I am from movie nights

    Popcorn and blankets filling the dark living room

I am from I spy

    Hospital windows looking at the city below with my grandpa

I am from church

    Every Sunday walking down the sidewalk to church

I am from family

    Thanksgiving and Christmas all around together

I am from love

    A happy home and so much love

October 16, 2025- If you were to create a haunted house with three rooms what are they

 My haunted house will be trippy. The walls will move and the hallway will tilt every step you take. It would have a greenish glow. It will lead to the mirror room.The mirrors will change your figure and will take off your head. Then a scary bloody clown will appear behind you in one of them and since your like oh its a haunted house no need to worry. Till you turn around and you realize that there is actually a scary clown behind you.  The next room is the bathroom, there is dark juicy blood splattered all over the clear/matte shower curtain.  The floor is flooded with murky water and there is a dead girl with all clothes on. like she was just placed there. Last room I have is the seance room. You know the room where you practice religious things. If I was witchy or needed to communicate with the dead that's the room I would use. I would have floating bloody candles. This room wouldn't be the scream bloody murder horror this is more like hauntingly beautiful type way.

Two Sentence Horror

 You looked out the window one morning, and to your horror, you see the serial killer that's been all over the news lately. You quickly dial 911, but then you realize that what you're seeing is the killer's reflection.

The Joke

 I snickered as my friend made a joke

The teacher gave us a look to be quiet 

But 6 7 is such a funny joke we couldn't stop laughing 

Did you hear the news? Seven ate nine

6 is terrified

A Poem for my Dog

 You've just about done it

I'm just about through

Can't keep it together

I'm fed up with you

Your paws are so heavy

As you stand on my leg

You're clearly not hungry

And yet you still beg

With a wag of your tail

And a thump of your rear

You've ruined the plants

 Mom's been growing all year

You've gotta fuzz on your head

And fluff on your butt

You look like a pure-bred

But you act like a mutt

You're happy to see us

Guess how we know

That's inappropriate doggy

We don't want that show

It smells like a dog mouth

Two inches away

"Hah hah hah hah"

Is that all you can say?

The stream from your tongue

Is almost touching the ground

Close your mouth Wrigley

You drool like a hound

You've got burrs in your tail 

And mud on your feet

If you jump on me again

I'll cry in defeat

Please I just fed you

This isn't your food

Now go eat your kibble

Don't leave it half chewed

You knock over your water 

Right after I fill it

If your really are thirsty

Then why must you spill it

You stare through the door

As we're eating our meal

What do you want, dog

What is your deal

So sore and so painful

Your claws in my skin

Alright! I get it!

Stop! You win!

Way back when we got you

You were so tiny, so cute

But you're all grown up now

One big dumb galoot

You've ripped up my stuff

You've torn up my skin

You've driven me crazy

Again and again

So ask if I love you

I suppose so, but why

I guess it's because 

You're my Wrigley guy

Not So Simple

 Not So Simple

I love you like Romeo and Juliet 

Although they die at the end of the play 

So that might not be a good one

What about I love you like a princess and a prince

But that sounds too childish

How about I love you like Brangolina

Oh, wait, they are NOT together, bad idea

So maybe I love you like rock loves scissors, and scissors love paper, and paper loves rock

That’s too long and confusing and makes no sense, actually

I’ll try, I love you like a pencil loves paper

That sounds simple, but too simple love isn’t simple

Love has ups and downs, and it can be confusing or something to die for 

Like how Romeo and Juliet loved each other enough to die for each other

Like how I love you!

                                                                                Prince charming?

Once upon a time there was a princess.

Who wished to one day find her true love.

Each day she sat in her window singing.

Hoping for a sign.

She was dreaming on how he would look.

Until one day he climbed into her window

The Road Between Here and There

 Here is where my faith grows:

Tall stained glass windows 

An alter beautifully decorated

There is where I took my first steps:

The yellow farmhouse, standing strong

Many childhood memories fill the house

Here is where I went to school for 10 years:

Where I grew in my faith

Made friends to last a lifetime

There is where I ended my sophomore year of volleyball:

First week of practice

Ending in a surgery

Here is where I spent my last four years learning:

Many hours put in each day

Spending time in many sports and activities

There is where I fell in love with a college

A campus so beautiful and welcoming

A place where my heart felt at home

Here is where memories were made with my family

Playing cards gathered around the table

Laughing as we share stories in the living room

safety

 Its started on a sunny morning 

I decided I wanted to go to the beach 

but when I arrived, there was a shark 

so I decided to turn around to head home 

and cozy up under a blanket instead 

I want to stay safe. 

How to Gain a Man

 

Find where the male species chooses to locate fun

Now to scope out the options

Once one is targeted, stare in their direction so they know you're interested

After making eye contact, wiggle your eyebrows and smile 

(trust me it isn’t weird)

When they start approaching quickly turn your head in the opposite direction

(don’t wanna make it obvious)

Then when you feel their breath tickle your neck turn to face them

Start chuckling after looking into the eyes

Now whisper to him “hello my fine male”

(males love compliments)

After he properly thanks you start batting your eyelashes very fast until he compliments you

When he doesn’t proceed with handfuls of compliments glance over his shoulder to find a different male specimen and repeat the process

Later when a man finally hands a compliment in return walk away 

(this will leave him wanting more)

No need to give him any contact information if he wanted to he will

Stay delusional

This I Believe

Freshman year of high school, I chose to take Intro to Agriculture, Foods, and Natural Resources. The impact of that decision is now greater than I could have ever imagined. Just a short four years later, I have chosen to pursue a career as an agricultural teacher. 

I have been around agriculture my whole life. Growing up on a farm has taught me many life skills that I will forever cherish. Whether I was learning from my parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, or uncles, I was left with memories that will last a lifetime. 

Living on a farm provides my family with a lifestyle. The crops we grow give us the feed we need for our animals, and the animals we feed give us food to put on our table. I love working with our cows and taking care of them. Seeing them as babies and having the ability to raise them until they are fully grown is truly rewarding. Cows are my life. Agriculture is the future of the world. Without it, I would be lost, as would billions of people across the world because agriculture feeds the world. 

Agriculture has taught me how to be independent, self-sufficient, and dedicated to my work, and most of all, it has given me a good work ethic. I did not choose to be a part of agriculture, it chose me, through my parents, and my grandparents…

So, I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words, but of deeds. I believe in educating individuals on the importance of agriculture and serving by doing, instead of saying. I believe that agriculture provides me with a future, a job, and most of all, a hobby that I love spending time with.
