Give Thanks

Thanksgiving was a fun day here at Falcon. The girls hung out in PJ's, ate lots of food, and watched movies. They focused on what they are greatful for having and all the service and work they have done in the past couple weeks.
They have worked very hard and continue to grow and learn more about themselves everyday. Our focus has been to give Thanks in Everything.

Huntsmen Senior Service


This is the 4th year we have helped and served at the Huntsman Senior Games.
We have spent the last 2 weeks working really hard for the Senior games, we have scored for 3 on 3 and scored for Softball. 
It has been a lot of long hours and hard work. The girls have stayed focused, worked together, and had to really trust eachother. It has been a very rewarding service project and we look forward to next year.

Trees at the Ranch

Trees in Autumn
Splash red - 
A rush of autumn leaves that 
Bled away their beauty as they 
Died upon the breeze.
Frost.
Leaves lost.
Stocky frames -
Thinning at the dendrites - 
Animate their colour under dusk: 
A paling brown, 
Emerging grey -
Deeper, darker -
Leads to black: 
Silhouettes braced for winter, 
Like monuments of hardiness
Against the freeze.
Barely hanging overhead, charcoal-grey chassis
Buckle under silent flow of ever-stacking billows
While stings in the face foretell the ice-blight.
An arrow-bound wind builds, 
Penetrating flesh, 
Whistling out its warning
To the nakedness of winter woods - 
Fair-weather green coats too fickle for the stay.
Summer died upon another eon.
Autumn scampered from the chill.
But the trees fought back; upheld their dignity -
No fuss, pomp, or thrill.
