the Rose and the Poppy

Stories from Nana's house

Saturday, September 23, 2006
















Nana Lynne went to Armidale to visit the Rose and the Poppy. It is Springtime and the trees are in blossom and baby animals are being born all over the place - especially in the paddock near the girls' house. Nana and the Rose and the Poppy saw 15 lambs.
Next thing you know - BigGoat came charging through the first fence . The Rose picked some grass and handed it to him to eat . But BigGoat took a running leap and BUTTED her right in the belly. The Poppy told that Goat off. And Nana laughed and laughed and laughed. We like baby lambs better than Big Goats.
When Nana came home to Bilambil she told PinkPig and Little Lamb all about it.

Just right click on the horse. Copy and then paste into a blank word document for the Girls to colour in.
Today it is raining and raining. Nana Lynne is sad because they were going to visit the racehorses in the next paddock but it is TOO WET.
" Well " said BigDog. " I am not sad. The lady said they were going to break the horses and I did not want to see any horses get broken . I am glad it is raining and raining . "

China Boy and China Girl have been digging and digging with the red spade. They have dug a big ditch .
" Now the water can run down the hill like a big river . " said China Girl.
" Yes. " said China Boy. " Because it is going to flood !!! "

Nana Lynne has been thinking about the Rose and the Poppy all day today. She said to all the animals -
" I think we will go and visit them as soon as the grass stops freezing ! "

LittleLamb came all the way from NewZealand to live with Nana . Kate sent her over to live with Nana because LittleLamb does NOT like being cold and Nana does NOT like being cold.
Today LittleLamb was sitting on the verandah at Pinkie's and looking out to sea and thinking about the Rose and the Poppy who have gone to live far away on top of the
mountains with MadObrian and JoMac.
" Look at this picture from the Rose and the Poppy " said Nana . ' The grass is frozen. It is covered in ICE ! "
PinkPig and LittleLamb sat down with Stumpy. They were all very worried.
"The grass is frozen " said LittleLamb.
" The trees are frozen " said PinkPig.
" The flowers are frozen " said Stumpy.

" Are the Rose and the Poppy frozen too ? "
They whispered .

HAVE THE ROSE AND THE POPPY TURNED INTO ICE TOO?
