Remember I told you about the dried flowers I was making? Well, they are finally completed after waiting for about a week and a half almost two weeks, I finally took the flowers out of the press and the flowers are all flat and dry, which is prefect to make into a bookmark, but I haven’t made one yet.
It was exciting to remove the flowers and to touch them and see them once they dried.

I love to read books, and decided to make pressed flower bookmarks. I took flower petals from the table, and sandwiched them between six pieces of newspaper. Then I put them into a spare telephone book and wrapped three rubber bands, evenly spaced around the book. Five days later I changed any soiled papers and examined the flowers. You’re really not supposed to disturb the paper touching the flowers, but I just had to. They were so amazing! Now I need to wait one to two more weeks. I can hardly wait. I’ll make sure to share the results.
I’m so excited!

For Passover this year our family killed a goat. How did we do it? First, we tied the goats back legs with string and hung it upside down from a gambrel. Then we took a very sharp knife and slit the throat! We let the blood flow into a container. We then proceeded to skin the goat and remove the guts. Finally, we cut the head off. After, we cut the rest of the body into pieces. After washing the meat a few times with water, we prepared it for smoking in an underground bar-b-que that we made with dad. We wrapped it in a moist potato sack and buried it in the ground for 24 hours. When we took it out and tried to cut the meat off the bones, we didn’t need to-the meat came off the bones without any effort leaving them perfectly clean! The meat was fantastic!
