SOUND for Savannah

Savannah was not like any other 10 year old girl. She had sandy blond hair bright blue eyes jeans a Puppy T shirt  and a great spirit that her small body could barley hold.  She loved to write books she loved animals and she loved to sing. Kids always teased her because of her name when she did something award or stupid they said "Oh no Savannah is full of flies and frogs!" She wished she had a different name. Something like Sarah or Jane maybe even Susan. But not Savannah!! she asked her parents all the time "Mom can you change your name?" "Why would you ask that sweetie?" "You know mom all the kids tease me about my name i am tired of them calling me names" "Well why do you even listen to them? they are just jealous you know when i was a kid Kids teased me about my name." "Your name? that is so popular" "I know but back then Jane was not as popular as it is now they made fun of  me a lot they would say this phrase all the time!" "Oh dear oh no! Jane won't get the candy cane!"  "Oh my goodness mom! so what did you do?" "I just ignored them and slowly as Jane became a more popular name and I did not pay attention they stooped teasing me" "Whoa I will try that" So the next day Savannah went to school with her head held up high and with determination she had never had before. Ruby the class's worst bully came up to Savannah. And said "Hey loser i love your miss matching socks your tangled hair and your worn out shoes oh and i really love you ugly dirty face! ha ha"  Then she turned around and told Miss carter the class teacher "Oh teacher Savannah called me ugly and punched me!" she held her stomach as if it hurt. Miss carter was very strict and she said this to poor Savannah "SAVANNAH HOW DARE YOU DO SUCH A THING I GIVE YOU DETENTION FOR 1 HOLE MONTH!" Savannah was not surprised the teacher did this almost every day at school. But she just ignored the teacher and Ruby and went to her seat by her best friend River they both had weird names and both got teased so they ended up being best friends.

Back yard chickens



  1. I live in Houston and I have 6 month old Coturnix quails. I have them in a bird cage nicely covered up. When the temperature falls below 40F, I move them from outside and keep them in the garage until the weather warms up a little.

    I would like to know what temperatures Coturnix quails can tolerate outside as long as they are shielded from the wind. Please advise.

    They can tolerate incredibly cold temps as long as they are completely out of all wind, snow and rain. Their feet need to stay warm at all times. Quail lose heat thru their feet, so bedding is always advised if they are kept on wire. All this being said, they can take down below zero before any heat is needed if housed properly. :)

QUAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dreams in the Day

On a warm spring afternoon a note from high in the sky reached a small house on a ranch it landed right on the feet of a Young gal. The girl picked up the letter and read what the paper had to say. Her large blue eyes brightened  and her long red hair swayed in the crisp wind. Then she disappeared  into the house with not another thing to say or do. Now let us go to another part of the world were the same letter dropped on the feet of a older girl with dark brown hair and green eyes. This girl however was not pleased with the letter and frowned. She did not walk back into her house but quite the opposite. She ran into the streets miles and miles from home. What did the letter say you might wonder or who are the girls? Well keep reading and soon you will know. For now let us go and see what our red head friend is up to. 

Star ran up to her room and put her letter in her safest drawer. Then she ran downstairs and sat down for supper. Her mother looked at her and said, "Star my only girl why are you not in you supper dress but in your newest gown?" "Dear mom I have a busy evening ahead of me." "Very well dear. Now would you want carrots or apple for your side dish." "apple please ma" star's mother gave Star apple and chicken to eat. Star's brothers Henry Robert Richard Jack Jim and john were at the table too. But a usual little Toby was not he was in his crib taking a nap.  "Mom when will Toby ever grow up he is always snooping around crying or eating. Nothing else he is worth nothing why don't you get rid of him?" said john who was the youngest other than Toby of course. "Oh dear john don't speak such nonsense he is your brother and you will treat him as one and no more gibberish" mom said firmly. "yes mom" and there was no more talk around the table. 


The next day it was Monday and Star was going to the museum of fine arts in Boston she planed to have a lot of fun there but little did she know what she was to find there! the next day Aunt Annie drove her to the museum and told her a few things and then left. Star was all alone miles for home in a museum. She did not know where to look first. 

She loved to paint so she went to the place were she saw some paintings.  A few other people were their, but Star did not care. She barely even noticed them as her thoughts drifted to the paintings! She saw many paintings. Some she knew like the paintings from Claude Monet and others she did not know, but all of the paintings were incredible to her!! 

After she had studied every picture in the room she headed to the cars section where the oldest cars were! She saw the model T version of the ford, the first electric car and many other amazing cars! After seeing everything in the museum she wanted see more so she searched and finally found a staircase that had a large sign that said Do Not Enter and a rope from one side of the railing to the other. But Star was not taking Do Not Enter as a no to seeing more art! So she crawled under the rope and found herself walking up an old staircase. She suddenly heard a loud crashing sound from the top of the stairs and a non-human face looked down at her! 

She screamed, but it was too late. She vanished from sight. It was the same face the letter had warned her about. The letter said many more things but we will find those things out later. 

For now let us go see our brown haired friend!
