Lonely:

They’re all away

And the house is still,

And the dust lies thick

On the window sill,

And the stairway creaks

In a solemn tone

This taunting phrase:

“You are all alone.”

They’ve gone away

And the rooms are bare;

I miss his cap

From a parlor chair.

And I miss the toys

In the lonely hall,

But most of any

I miss his call.

I miss the shouts

And the laughter gay

Which greeted me

At the close of day,

And there isn’t a thing

In the house we own

But sobbingly says: “You are all alone.”

It’s only a house

That is mine to know,

An empty house

That is cold with woe;

Like a prison grim

With its bars of black,

And it won’t be home

Till they all come back

Read the excerpt from Seedfolks.

He showed me exactly how far apart the rows should be and how deep. He couldn't read the words on the seed packets, but he knew from the pictures what seeds were inside. He poured them into his hand and smiled. He seemed to recognize them, like old friends. Watching him carefully sprinkling them into the troughs he'd made, I realized that I didn't know anything about growing food and that he knew everything.

One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the
grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing
implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.

OA Della is upset because her house is in shabby condition for Christmas.

Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether


On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.


Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.
