Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Izzy's drawing from an exciting chapter of Laura Ingals Wilder's Farmer Boy



Farmer Boy, Chapter 9, Breaking the Calves:

Up went Star's tail, up went Bright's tail, up went their heels. The sled bounced into the air and then everything happened all at once.

"Baw-aw-aw!" said Star. "Baw-aw-aw-aw!" said Bright. Right in Almanzo's face were flying hoofs and swishing tails, and close overhead were galumphing hinduarters. "Whoa! yelled Almanzo. "Whoa!"

"Baw-aw!? said Bright. "Baw-aw-aw!" said Star. It ws far swifter than sliding downhill. Trees and snow and alves' hindlegs were all mixed up. Every time the sled came down Almanzo's teeth crashed together.

Bright was running faster than Star. They were going off the road. The sled was turning over. Almanzo yelled, "Haw! Hw!" He went headlong into deep snow yelling, "Haw!"

His open mouth ws full of snow. He spit it out, and wallowed scrambled up.

Everything was still. The road was emtpy. The calves were gone, the sled ws gone. Pierre and Louis were coming up out of the snow. Louis was swearing in French, but Almanzo paid no attention to him
