Backyard Birds

We recently started putting out birdseed and we are having a lot of birds at our feeder and I'm keeping track of them. We have Nuthatches, Chickadees, Titmice (Heehee), Red-Bellied Woodpeckers, Downy Woodpeckers, a Cardinal I saw flying about that was very beautiful, and a couple of Song Sparrows. We also put out suet that the nuthatches and woodpeckers love! I will update this when we get more birds.

Birding at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge in Tinicum!

The 18th of February my mom and a couple of friends and I went on a birding tour group at John Heinz National Refuge in Tinicum Township. We saw, Rusty and Red-winged Blackbirds, a Fox sparrow, a Blue Jay, a bald eagle's nest where you could barely see the eagle's head peeking over the top, American crows, song sparrows, black-capped chickadees, american robins, heard the northern mockingbird, some ducks and mergansers, and a bunch more! Visit the refuge website and learn more at http://www.fws.gov/heinz/index.html

Snowy Owl at Merrill Creek!

There is a Arctic owl at Merrill Creek Reservoir that has taken refuge for the winter. I went to see it today with my mother and grandma. She was really beautiful and reminded me of my cat. Once you got the binoculars set you would see her turn her head and preen her feathers! It was really cool, and I hope you can visit her too.

Welcome to the estate or randomness and craziness. Do you like icing? That was even randomer than I thought! See that sight over there? That is the leaning tower of randomness, and over there is the statue of George Crazybody. Thank you very much for wasting your time reading this when you could be doing something useful like cleaning your room(feel free to use this as your excuse) Look over there, a bagel! And my dear friend Genevive! How is your sickly auntie, Genevive? Socks, socks, socks. Why does she have such an obsession with socks? Oh dear, I forgot the name of this estate: The Estate of Randomness and Crazyness!So, the next time your mom or dad or legal guardian or whatever asks you where you've been, tell them that you have been to The Estate of Randomness and Crazyness. farewell, to you all!AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT FIDDLES

Blogger journal.

Hello! Turning this blog into a semi-private diary. NO personal information, just what happens. Call me Rowanstorm. Alright. Here goes nothing.

Friday, April 29th, 2011:
Today I went on an herb walk with my nutrition class.I found some really cool herbs, and some poison ivy*gasp* and we went all the way to the creek! Mia and Toni's dog loved the water! On the way back we played I Spy, and a game I think is title "because" because a group of people start a story from the end and work their way to the beginning explaining why each sentence was. Example: "Because the dog wanted dinner," and the dog wanted dinner BECAUSE, "because he hadn't eaten since he had made his way to the moon in a FLYING ONION RING!" 
We did a story about an angry cat,  an evil squirrel named Farmer Squirrel, a baby chipmunk, a baby squirrel, a wise old chipmunk, an evil platypus, and a powerful witch.
Also, when we were at the creek, me, Miranda, Mia, and Stephen were having twig wars. IT WAS AWESOMESAUCEOMEFIDDLEDEEDAWESOME!

Thank you, Cleveland, and Good Night!:D:D:D *those are smiley faces by the way, just side-ways!*
.I will put up a picture of my class as soon as my mom e-mails it to me! :D

My Favorite Movies

I love to watch movies! I love the popcorn and the back room where we watch it and the movie itself! Here are summaries and pictures of some of the movies i love.
The Lion King
 The Lion King is about a lion cub named Simba who lives with his father, the king, Mufasa, his mother Sarabi, and his best friend Nala. Simba runs away after a stampede of wildebeests kills his father and he takes the blame. He meets Timon and Pumbaa, who he lives with for a time. Several years later he finally meets Nala again. The two agree to set out and reclaim his Kingdom......







Hotel For Dogs
Hotel  for Dogs is about two orphans (Bruce and Andi) who's foster parents won't let them have a dog. They hide a stray dog named Friday from the foster parents, and finally stumble upon an abandoned hotel where two other stray dogs are hiding. They begin to care for the dogs in secret, and slowly make friends who help them with the dogs. They begin to find stray dogs hurt or lost, and  begin to take care of them. Bruce invents  machines to help the dogs live in the hotel. Then, disaster strikes, and it will take Bruce, Andi, and Ftriday's brains to save the dogs.
