Just a Little Spiel

Well summer is almost upon us! I hope you're all enjoying being out of school and excited for the upcoming summer season? What have you all been up to? Got plans for this summer?

This past week has been extremely busy at work, we're prepping for CHERRIES!



Yay for cherries! About a week out. :) We also have been thinning a ton of apple trees, so yes, it's been busy. Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, here's a clearer picture of the fishies.

So far we've had a couple casualties (Bran, Sigmund, Pancake), so I got replacements (Olga, Rachel, Bran 2), and this week I lost Judge, Aileen and Olga. BUT, I renamed "Rachel" Aileen so there are still Mornellys. ;)

Also this happened at work:


Yes, you're seeing correctly. That's a dog up in a tree at my work. My boss's dog is convinced there is a porcupine in this tree and he climbed it. I had to get pictures!

Speaking of my bosses, please pray for one of them who is not doing well right now. He could really, really use prayer. <3

Finally, but not least, I have a new cover photo for the Mornelly page! Go check it out here: I-6: The Mornellys

Special thanks to Ana Mae for creating the new cover photo! I ADORE it! :D Also as a side update, Mornellys have not been edited last several weeks because my editor is on vacation. She'll be back soon, though, and promised to have it done by end of July. I should have some new illustrations to show off as well by then. ;) The release date is scheduled for November! I'll give you a day when I know how far we've gotten in editing. :D

I'm going to be very busy with cherries this upcoming week, but I'm coming up with new blogging ideas so stay tuned! I have a couple schemes up my sleeve that I want to try out, we'll see if it works out or not. ;)

God bless and hope you're all having a wonderful summer thus far!

    LOL noooo! Bran & friends! RIP.

    Those cherries look delicious! We've started planting a few things, but we haven't yet put on bird-repelling covers.. You can probably guess where I'm going with that lol.

    Also, tagged you for "The Rising Authors Tag"! :) Here's the post

    One of our family's dogs climbs trees too. It's hilarious when he climbs so high that he can't figure out how to get down.

      Isn't that strange? We are still laughing about the incident weeks later. I'm so glad I got the pictures to prove it. :)

      HAHAHAH! You know what's weird, I think I had a dream about Christmas because you wrote this. XD I literally had a dream we were prepping for Christmas and I told my boss I thought it was too early to be selling Christmas trees. It was strange. ;)

      Cherries were wonderful and the season has ended. It's a quick season. :)

      Thanks for commenting, Rishona!

Polyushko Polye: A Song With a History

Image
I promised you all I would let you hear the real Russian song, Polyushko Polye, so here it is! in Crylic it's  Полюшкo Поле. Earlier I got a request from one of the readers for the sheet music because she couldn't find it online, so it you would like to find the sheet music you have to write in Russian полюшко поле ноты для пианино, which literally translates as "Field my field (or meadowland) notes to piano". You won't find the sheet music in English, but the notes are the same no matter what language you speak. ;D  I'd like it to be noted that this song has been around for a long  time now (1933) and since then it has gone through several spelling and name changes changes. So here are the lists of known names for this song.

It's About Time...For an Update!

Goodness I expected to blog so much more after I got married because I thought my life would slow down. Nope, I was wrong. XD Heelloooo blog readers! Long time no see! So, where to begin on updates? Right after our first kiss! Rifka and Lina! Lucas and I got married on February 2nd and have now been happily married for eight months to the day. We have moved once since we've gotten married and have acquired two new family members---Rifka our Karelian Bear Dog/Shetland Sheepdog mix and Lina, our crazy tri-colored tabby with far too much energy for a normal cat! Over the last eight months, I have been sick with the flu, mono, and countless colds and sinus infections but since seem to be on the rise with better health, a huge praise! Lucas was promoted at his job and is now a foreman, and enjoys making jokes about how unbearably hard and cruel of a foreman he is. (Lucas being bossy is the farthest thing from his personality as could be humanely possible.) Lu
