~Thanks for stoppin' by my blog! About myself, I am a fifteen year old young lady, with the hope of someday becoming a wife and mother while serving the Creator. Old fashioned things, farms, and novels have their place in my world, not to mention Medieval Literature of fair maidens and courageous knights. Beth March, Elizabeth Bennet, Elinor Dashwood, and Miss Georgiana Darcy are some of my heroines. I also live alone with my parents, dog, 5 cats, and around 20 chickens. Walking in the woods, writing the suspense, romance, and historical, playing the piano, reading novels, stargazing, baking, and blogging are some of my hobbies, along with our arrival of our beehive. I enjoy just sitting around and listening to classical musical, symphonies, and good old oldies on podunk radio stations. Enjoy your stay, and don't forget to comment! ~

I want to thank all of my fellow bloggers who left a comment wishing me all the happiness in my 15th year of life. And my dear cousin who left me an entire post expressing her celebration! Thank you dear one!
I will try to tell what happened for my birthday...it was very small with only my parents, and my closefamily. We had a small campfire where we roasted hot dogs, and all sorts of campfire goodies. Then for dessert we had delicious pumpkin pie...which I have had on all of my birthdays instead of cake...I like pumpkin pie a lot better!
Then we opened presents before it got too dark...and I received (which I already knew about and watched her order it) a drawing book with loads of good tips, Drawing the Head and Figure by Jack Hamm. However, I did have to mark off all of the obscene drawings...hint 'drawing the head and figure'
And sometime this week, another thing my parents ordered for me was the movie North and South by BBC drama! I absolutely adore this movie...very heartbreaking and tragic. I think I almost enjoy the music to the movie more than the movie itself.
And the most surprising item occured on my birthday list! I had the honour to meet the four oldest sisters of the Farmgirls. We had been chatting, and decided to meet at a small reenactment going on at an easy distance for the both of us, so we planned and became acquainted. I had truly an exciting time...and my cousins even decided to meet them with me.

They were all so sweet, that we ended up walking and touring with them for almost six hours...but it was worth every minute. I count meeting them as a belated birthday gift! :)
