Death at the Pool

We purchased a pool last year, it is quite small. It's one of those pools that you blow up the top and as it fills the top raises. I'm not very good with measurements so I couldn't tell you how big it actually is for the life of me, however I am 5'1" and it comes just above my knees...so you have kind of a picture of the size of this pool.
I also have 2 children and they have friends, friends who enjoy spending time in our pool. Well the very first time the pool was used this year was by my daughter and her best friend. They were in the water for around 3 hours, and my daughter had come in the house to use the pool around 5 times in the duration of the 3 hours. However it hit me that her best friend had not come in once, so as I am telling the girls to get out of the pool I ask said friend if she had been peeing in the pool. She responded with a look of guilt and silence. Therefore I was then planning on draining and cleaning out the pool because that is disgusting!
I didn't get around to actually draining the pool out until a couple days later and as I am preparing to do so, I see an animal floating in the water. Apparently a squirrel had fallen out of our gigantic walnut tree to him ultimate demise, or he was trying to get a drink and fell in, either way he did not make it out again. I am not sure if he fell and was stunned then drown, or if the chemicals from this little girls urine killed this poor squirrel. I am however going to use it as a reason why you should not pee in the pool!

Who are the Mayans?

Well I think before we find out exactly what the Mayans have to say, maybe we should learn a little about who they are...I found a great site that sheds some light on not only who the Mayans are but also some positive light on the 12-12-2012 scare. If you would like to check out the site it's here

First I would like to correct myself in saying that they are in fact not called Mayan's but Maya civilization...and now I feel like an idiot...but at least I can admit my mistake!

The Maya civilization was formed around 1500 BC and occupied the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Mayan's (it's okay if it is plural) worshiped nature, they used the stars for the telling of time and to create calendars. It is unknown, the fate of the Maya civilization, which ended around 300-400 AD. The ending was signified when their pyramids, homes, and places of worship were abandoned.

Hmmm...very mysterious. The tale will continue as I read. I urge you to follow along if you are in the least bit interested in all the horror that could arise on December 12, 2012. Maybe we should find out what is predicted to happen in a logical sense.

Are the End Times Near?

I have recently watched the movie 2012 and it got me thinking, then my mother told me about watching a show about the Mayan Calendar and the predictions that have already come true. I have decided to do my own research.

I would like to say that anything I post about the end times will be non-bias although I would also like to inform you that I am a Christian, I believe in God whole-heartedly and I believe when the Bible says that no man shall know the day nor the hour. But I do find speculation interesting, so I will be venturing into the unknown (at least by me) and reporting back to all of you what I find out. It shall be an interesting journey! One you may want to buckle up for!

Attempted Murder

I walked outside my house a few minutes ago and heard some very loud noise coming from my huge pine tree located right in front of my home. As soon as I went to look at what all the ruckus was about an owl flew at my face. He (or she) flew right at me then at the last minuted turned around and landed in my tree, so I did what any sane person would do, I ran inside to get my camera :)


I realize it's not the greatest picture ever, and the bird has red eye, but it's dark outside and I was afraid I wouldn't catch him on camera if I took to long. I happened to be right because right after I snapped this photo he (or she) flew off. I then heard some very loud flapping, and I just thought there must be another owl in the tree, maybe they were making a nest. That would be cool. It also freaked me out just a bit because I don't have very good luck when it comes to things that fly. Bats attack me all the time.

Anyway, my daughter had a friend over and when her mom came she informed me that there was a bird stuck in the neighbors driveway. She then took one of my towels and we ventured out to see what we could find. I once again grabbed my camera, but it was pouring rain at the time so I couldn't take a picture. The bird was just a small finch, and he had a broken wing. Now I am left to assume that said owl and said finch got into a tangle, owl won, and planned to eat him for dinner when I then showed up with my "bright light" and scared him away from his watch tower.

We moved said finch into the yard in hopes that he will find some shelter and maybe have a chance of living. There wasn't much else we could do for him (or her.) What would you have done in that situation?

Art Show 2010

My daughter is in first grade and this year one of her art projects was picked to be in the local art show. They held the art show at the local courthouse, so really nothing like big time or anything, but it's still pretty cool that something she made was chosen.



This she says is a Griffon. I have no idea what a griffon is or if this resembles a griffon, however I still think it's very creative and cute. The medium used is chalk. There was lots of great art there, some very talented children live in my neck of the woods.

 This was done by a high school student. I'm not sure who it was, but I know it was in the high school area. I'm just going to post a few more pictures I took of the art I enjoyed. I hope you enjoy it as well!
