Sunrise, Sunset

I guess getting up at 7:00 in the morning does help get nice sunrise pictures…

Haiku

Pre-AP English consisted of Haiku (Haikus?) Here are my efforts:

 

Winter

Cold skeletal trees

Breath freezing, fingers cold blue

Snow falling, silence

 

Spring

Cold tendrils float, gone

Sun bathes ground in golden rays

Green erupts from earth

 

Summer

Blazing sand singes

Air, dancing and shimmering

Earth cries for water

 

Fall

Twisting, twirling leaves

Making thick, crunchy carpet

Brown pervades the green

 

And this was a haiku about a movie I had recently watched… enjoy?

 

Mission Impossible

Tom Cruise on mission

Trail of death follows his team

Too impossible

DPP 23:Christmas School Theme Day 4: Santa’s Helper

I know this is posted a day late, but it’s better than it never being posted at all, isn’t it?

DPP 21: Christmas School Theme Day 3: The Night Before Christmas

As I sit here sucking on my deer jerky stick, and wondering why I still have school tomorrow, I listen to the howling laughter coming from below. My family is watching Mr. Bean. My mom offered to call me in sick tomorrow, but I might as well go and not break my perfect attendance record. I just got off work and my brain feels distant and fuzzy to me… Maybe that is why I sit here, sucking on my deer jerky stick, wondering why I still have school tomorrow, as I listen to the howling laughter coming from below…

DPP 20: Christmas School Theme Day 2: Ugly Sweater

DPP 17: Six Loaves

I was born into a family who believes in making bread rather than buying it. Therefore, every one to two weeks, six loaves of whole wheat bread was made. Today, I baked bread with my fantastic bread-making skills. The first step in this process is to grind wheat:

Then one puts in many assorted ingredients and mixes it. It rises after that for about thirty minutes. However, if one leaves the bread alone to long to rise, it will burst out of its container…

After one tries to scrape all of the bread dough that fell everywhere and kneads it on a board, the dough is separated into six loaves and set to rise for another thirty minutes.

And the last step is to deliver the loaves of dough into the oven. After thirty-five minutes, the loaves are done and one has this:

The End

DPP13: Mr. Hornung-Scherr

This is my English teacher, Mr. Hornung-Scherr. One could quite possibly say that Mr. Hornung-Scherr is the best English teacher. He has a knack for speaking different languages and bad English (“there ain’t no prepositions”), however, without him, English would be such a dull subject. Thank you Mr. Hornung-Scherr for being such a great teacher!

DPP11&12: Cluney and Color

This is my cat, for those who have yet to meet him. His name is Clooney. (named after actor George Clooney)

And this is my new painting I started Thursday.Unfortunately, my tree has not received foliage yet…

DPP10: Our Bathroom

Yes, this is a picture of our bathroom. It is true. I did not really have anything to report today. Just that I was in a bathroom taking pictures of a candle. Yep, that is about it…
