comments: the deer-tongue grew remarkably fast.

The deer’s tongue sprouted very fast; some of the seeds that i dropped anonymously sprouted out of the soil pod.

Purslane sprouted. The end of it is red. Looks like the chamomile is sprouting too. Hard to tell because it is so small.

Well… I seeing a lot of greens, there are a lot of budding plants like: dandelions, wild rose, crabgrass, and gooseberry. The grass is getting A LOT greener, my mom found a odd yellow flower. The animals that are only here in the spring are coming back like cedar wax-wings, rabbits and other animals of the such. Dunno whaddelse to say.

Today’s prompt from Brave Writer’s Blog…

I’d like to take a trip to an area where dragons are, and that only especially permitted peoples could enter; having in mind that it’s the area 51 of somewhere like a desolated place of Japan. The plane would be of the latest tech and would only be powered by solar energy, and each person would get their own iPhone, (the people in charge would pay for the cell billJ). When you arrive, you enter through the high-security perimeter of the area, then you’ll be able to roam free through the 200 acre area that is not restricted. Whoever goes in gets a dragon companion of their own choosing, so the person does not get lonely or lost and protection so other dragons do not harm you. When the time comes to leave, the dragon that accompanied you gets a genial shot that minimizes the size of the dragon by the time you reach the plane. You wouldn’t eat any of the pets that you had (it can feed itself, it only eats solar or lunar light) and they are very easy to raise. With the right care, the dragon will live as long as you do.

When I waved my wand-

mountains swayed on the spot and clocks’ hands spun too fast

When I waved my wand-

photos and pictures sprang to life within their frames

When I waved my wand-

the sun weeped embers from the sky and the moon shined radiantly

All when I waved my wand….

Sam wrote this poem and illustrated it all on his own. The basic idea came from Stuff and Nonsense by Pie Corbett. It is a neat book that has a poem on the left side of a spread, and notes to write your own version on the right. There are many different types of poems.

I am writing this because this is my entry in a contest to explain how great my dad is. Even if I wasn’t in the contest I still think he’s great.

One of the great things about him is that he plays with me. I like it when he tickles and wrestles with me. It makes me happy.

He is a talented woodworker. He makes cool, wooden bowls on the lathe. One time he helped me make a gavel with the lathe in his shop. It was fun.

He is interested in me. I know this because he plays video games with me. It gives me the feeling of being liked.

He takes care of himself by running regularly.This is good because he stays healthy and has more time to play with me.
