I think William is going outside after a rainy night to take care of his farm. Everything including the red wheelbarrow is still wet from the rain, but the chickens since they were roosted in their chicken coop stayed dry. I think, like most farmers would be, he was happy since we are in desperate need of rain.

Responding to your comment because for some reason it wouldn’t let me on our old post :)

Oh such a sad part of the book…. but don’t worry I cried like a baby too. I loved the characters and their personalities as well, it almost drove me to be more like them. Do you ever feel like that with characters? I completely understand where you are coming from with being too busy.. I am not much of a reader exactly because of that reason, but with this project I have been very motivated to find times to read so I can keep up with you and Jake. Times that I find to read are in-between classes, while I’m cooking dinner and something is in the oven, when I need a study break from school, I even sometimes read during my work break now. I think it helps a lot that I have been enjoying the books so much. I do go to church here in Chico, when I am here for the weekend that is, and I absolutely love it!

I did miss last wednesday and I am sorry for that! I watched the video that she showed you guys and the class though and loved it! You guys are all so inspiring to me and I LOVE the set up of your classroom, not gonna lie I kind of expected it to be messy, with all the books and everything, but it was so clean and organized looking. I went home wednesday morning because it was the mark of two years since we found out my mom only had a month to live and my little sister called me really up set and I just felt like I needed to be there for her and I was having a hard time with it as well for some reason. Some days are harder then others, but I know I will be okay and God has a plan for me. :) My mom always used to say “Choose Happy” and this is something I try to hold near and dear to my life at all times… it seems to help. Anyways, I started Paper Towns this past weekend and I really like it. At first it was kind of hard for me to get into, but now I am really enjoying it. I made it to page 69 earlier today and I had a hard time putting it down to go to class. My recommendation to you is don’t judge this book by the first few chapters, keep reading and I think you might get hooked! Can’t wait for you to finish Fault in Our Stars, you are going to love the ending! and then start Paper Towns :) both amazing books I think! I think we will get to meet soon and I can’t wait!

Happy reading Mimi :)
