Kittens and Rainbows

Have you ever been outside in the evening during the rain, and you look and see the most beautiful scene surrounded by one of the prettiest sounds. Today, less than an hour ago, I went out the back door into an amazing light rain, I walked down the path and saw the sunset light hitting the grass and a table. It was one of the most beautiful scenes I have seen and been a part of. Following that I walked around to the front of the house to see a double rainbow, today was an amazingly beautiful day.

The earliest thing to happen today was my brother Dylan coming over with my nephew Wynn to await the arrival of my brother Jordan(JJ), for he was visiting today. Not too long after Dylan shows up, JJ shows up too. So most of the day was spent with both of my brothers here and visiting, which doesn’t happen that often. Meaning today was already one of those rare days.

Next, too not long after everyone left, I go out back to do my animal chores and find a small pile of kittens near the door, close by is the mother cat feeding one of them. 5 kittens were born today by a young calico cat. (I’m keeping track of this for later) We have had 4 litters born this spring now, also a kind of rare thing.

Today has been filled with so many things that don’t happen that often, so I wanted to keep track of them all. Enjoy the memory clarification future me. 🙂

The wrong cat adopted a kitten

I feel so guilty. Today, just a few hours ago. I went outside and found a little orange kitten around the back of the house. I looked around and set him down with some older mama cats. When one of them started licking and feeding him, I thought “That must be the mother, she’s taking care of him” but no! She wasn’t his mother. I realized this later on when a different black kitten showed up in the same spot. The mother was in the middle of moving the kittens, and I accidentally GAVE AWAY her child to a different cat. I had found a bucket and an old blanket for the actual mother to keep her kitten in and left it alone for a few hours. I just checked on them to find 2 more kittens in there. No orange kitten in sight. I gave a cat’s kitten away to the only litter of kittens that I didn’t know the placement of. Now I’m over here feeling guilty because of a cat willing to adopt a kitten way too easily.

I know this is a weird thing to write about, but I want to remember this in the future.

I’m Back!

Hello, Hello! Kirynie Bacon here after a waaaaay too long break. After a bit too much trouble, I’m finally back and ready to post. Since my last post, lots have happened. I exited Tech Trep Academy around the end of 2022 and had to do a lot of math for the rest of that school year. At the beginning of the school year, I entered Westside High School in 9th grade and I am now a freshman there. My classes first semester include art, algebra, science, computer applications, Spanish, world culture, and finally English. When the second semester began, the only class I changed was Computer Applications to Lifetime Sports. Out of these classes, my favorite is Art. The school year has been pretty good so far. Though high school is a lot harder than middle school. I’m enjoying school, it’s nice to talk to people again. Since last time I have also finally gotten started on something I had been trying to do for ages, Learning languages. I started learning Russian about a year ago and recently started working on Italian, as well as my Spanish class. I recently made it to a 1-year streak in Duolingo, my parents were really sweet and got me a small cake for celebration. We also now have 2 and a Half more indoor cats. Calico is a calico female who is blind in her right eye but is a sweet cat. Blackjack is a grayish-striped male cat who was brought in because he nearly starved to death and miraculously survived, he’s named Blackjack for how lucky he was to survive. And finally, the half, Scrappy is a small orange male cat, he is the brother of Blackjack but is a lot smaller than him. Scrappy is an Outdoor cat who we let in to eat and warm up, hence the half. Though to be fair, he recently lost half of his tail, so that could be the half too. Scrappy lives up to his name waaay too much, between being sick, being small-probably because of worms- and losing his tail, he is way too scrappy. They and Sirius get along pretty well. Anyways, I’ll post again sometime soon. Arrivederci!

Reading

today is the first day of school for me, I’m doing history at 9:00 A.M. and then math at 2:00 P.M. later. Lately, I’ve been reading a book called “The Darkest Minds” It’s about a girl named Ruby who is an orange, which means she has the power of mind control and seeing people’s memories. She got these powers when she was ten and accidentally made her parents forget about her, she was then taken to thurmond with a lot of other kids with powers and lived there for 6 years before escaping and meeting Chubs, Liam, and Zu. I’m 13 now and for my birthday I got a bracelet maker, a cat pocket knife, and a small green tent just for me. That’s all for now, Until the next post.

Afton Family 4th of July

Ding Dong, the doorbell rang as Mrs. Afton went to answer it. “Hello?” Mrs. Afton said, “Here is your delivery, I need you to sign here please” the delivery man asked. “sure “ Mrs. Afton answered. When she finished signing the delivery man left and Mrs. Afton went and put the fireworks she had ordered away in the garage. A few minutes Mrs. Aftons parents arrived along with Mr. Afton’s dad, and Brother with his family. “Charlie, Cassidy, Gabriel!” Elizabeth yelled as they entered the house. Elizabeth was Mr. and Mrs. Aftons only daughter, they also had two sons named Micheal, and Chris. “Happy 4rth of July Lizzy!” Cassidy yelled, ““how have you been?” Charlie asked. “Pretty good, and you” Elizabeth responded “great” Charlie replied “let’s go play tag in the yard!?” Gabriel asked “ok!” they all answered in unison. Mr. Afton went out to the backyard with a bag of hamburger meat and the supplies needed to make a lot of hamburgers. While the adults talked and the kids played Mr. Afton barbequed the meat. “William!” Mrs. Afton called her husband. “Yes Clara! Mr. Afton answered a few seconds later. “Can you help me carry the dishes and napkins out please!” Mrs. Afton asked, “Sure Clara!” Mr. Afton went and helped Mrs. Afton, completely forgetting about the hamburgers. By the time Mr. Afton got back it was too late, it was all burned, and not lightly burned, not crispy burned, the hamburgers were completely black burned all the way through. “Aaaaahhh!” Mr. Afton screamed when seeing what had happened to the hamburgers. “Clara!” Mr. Afton yelled “Yes william?” Mrs. Afton said when getting there, “I need help” Mr. Afton responded “i’ll order some pizza instead” Mrs. Afton replied when she saw the hamburgers. After Mrs. Afton was done ordering some pizza, she told everyone about the change in dinner plans. “Back in my day we didn’t even have hamburgers!” “You were born in the dark age dad” Mr. Afton commented. After Mr. Afton was hit on the head by his dad, everyone went back to what they were doing. When the pizza finally arrived the sun was about to set. Mrs. Afton took the pizza and put it down on the tables in the backyard, “ Pizza’s here!” Mrs. Afton yelled loud enough for the neighbors to hear. By the time they were done eating the sun had set and Mr. Afton had gone to grab the fireworks. Once Mr. Afton put the fireworks down, Grandpa Afton snatched one up and grabbed a lighter from his pocket. “I’ll light the first firework!” Grandpa Afton announced before bringing the lighter to the string connected to the firework. BOOOOOM!! The firework flew up to the sky and a burst of red, white, and blue filled the sky above the Aftons house. Everyone looked in wonder as the rest of the fireworks flew up into the sky over the next hour. That was the best 4th of July any of them had ever had. 

The End

Life and Death

sorry it’s been so long since my last post I haven’t been on my computer a lot lately, here is what has happened since my last post. We now have 5 baby goats, and mystery has given birth to a second litter of kittens this year somewhere between 7-9 kittens, big pig has died and that’s all the important stuff. I also finished writing a short story in honor of the 4th of July, I’ll do another post after this with the story. It’s only 13 more days until I’m officially 13. that’s all I’m gonna put in this post and ill try posting more often!

Pirates

Not much has happened since the last post but, I can say what I’m learning about today. Today we are learning about Marco Polo and finishing our pretend letters to an editor about trying to get people to come to the sea or leave the sea alone, My partner is Audrey and we came up with the idea to connect our letters, Audrey is a pirate trying to get S.C. (sea captains) to give them the royal treasure, while I’m a sea captain trying to get more people to join our crew and protect the royal treasure. That’s all for now.

3/16/2021

Mystery went missing for a few days and now she’s back but I think she is pregnant….. Not again, our cats are miniature, bent tails, and eye boggers as kittens. But if they make it older then kitten they survive but they might disappear or get hit by cars. If all our cats were in one spot and alive that we had just on this farm we would have over 50 cats here! My dad says that 4 cats might be a lot for most people, but i think that a lot of cats would be about 20.

I’m learning about population management and issues that major ranchers may have. For example, water, disease, and poaching. Water is needed to grow the food that the animals eat and is used to hydrate the animals, mad cow disease. That’s all I have written down right now though. My goal is to do at least 1 blog post every day so this blog is gonna get to be pretty long! That’s all for now!

harry potter poem

The update of all updates!

This is my first post on the new website and I’m really liking all the things I can do, there are a lot more things I can try too. My goal is to start writing on my blog more so that future me knows what happened then. I’m also gonna have a page dedicated to short stories and sometimes parts of long ones. I also have the goal to Write longer things and get into more detail when it comes to my blog. Anyways it’s time for an update. My cat Mirabel is pregnant and so is Cheyenne the goat! Salt and pepper are Cheyenne’s first baby goats born here and there growing up big! Maynard is still alive but man does he honk a lot. School is really fun and it’s nice to see real people and have friends again. Our friend group is called H.A.A.A.K, I like to make new friends but I still miss my old friends too, if possible I’d love to be able to talk to all my friends, that would be amazing to me. H.A.A.A.K. has a few members, that includes, Hadies, Atticus, Audrey, Taylor K, Anona, Devin, and I think that’s all. These are the people I’ve met from my virtual class, The friends I miss from Public school are Clair, Angel, Skylar, and Gabe, These are my friends from public school. When I think about it I don’t think I’ve changed that much since public school, for example, I am really weird, I love to make new friends, I like to eat, I’m clumsy, and I’m bad at math, I was one of the weird students who got distracted really easily. I’m also learning to do drawing a lot better, and I think I’ll dedicate a page to my artwork. This is officially my longest post yet! Yay!! new record. I still like to bake, I sew every once in a while, I haven’t done cross-stitch and crochet in a long while, drawing has been my main hobby to do lately. This is the end but I’ll be sure to update the blog soon!
