Nature

I will start with trees. Trees are very helpful to our planet. They clean the air. Trees give us food. The coconut palm gives us coconuts, the apple tree gives us apples, the mango tree gives us mangoes and so on. Ferns look pretty and some times  make great hiding places, and can shade things. Leaves look pretty in Fall, and on paper and forts. Grass is good to roll in and is nice and soft to play sports. It is also  good to have picnics on. Flowers are very pretty in gardens and can look pretty on a table. Wood is a really good use for building furniture and boats. Water falls are a really good place for animals to drink and bathe. A lake is good for swimming and boating and can have lots of fish in them. Dirt is very uses full and is used for growing almost any thing. It is good for building dams and if you dry it out is is good for building houses. Animals give us food and little ones can feed other things which can feed other things which feed us. Some animals clean up after us and some are just pretty to look at.

My Fish, Fluffles

My fish is a tiny male guppy. I am planning on getting some females, but I have to wait until a weekend   because I don't have any free time in my schedule . I learned a lot about fish when I first went to the pet store. Things like Goldfish don't have stomachs, or that guppies can't live with goldfish. Then a couple days later we went to the Vanderpoles house to bring them dinner and eat with them. They had guppies    to, but they putt them in a tank with other fish and the other fish ate the guppies, because they forgot to feed them. Before they ate them though, they learned some things, like the store people told them to have 3 females, or eltse the male guppies would  kill them. So they got 3 females and brought them home. They had babies but the male and females ate them. Then the male killed them and the other fish ate them. They still have the male  guppy some where, but I couldn't find him. Back to my fish. I got him about 2 or 3 weeks ago. His tank is filtered and has bubbles that come out from the bottom and it changes color. It has a little plastic plant and four live plants. Only two live plants are growing. it also has about and inch of gravel at the bottom. He lives in a one gallon tank. My fish's name is  Fluffles. he is half and inch long. His tale is light green in the middle, pink on top and red on the bottom. His biggest fear is bubbles, so I have to unplug them when it is time to feed him. His favorite hiding spot is behind the huge filter. ( It takes up almost half of his tank) . Fluffles only eats when kids are looking at him. Fluffles is a really good fish.

My Grandparents

Grandma and Grandpa are, like most Grandparents, really nice. Every time they come, or we come, they have food ready. Sometimes they bring us to really fun places! Once they took me to the zoo for my birthday. They live here in WA. Nonnie and Poppie live in CA. They have a pool and a little dog named Codie. They also take us places. They took me to Sea world for my Birthday. Poppie likes to invent stuff. Once he made a flying chair and tested it out on my aunt Dodie. Nonnie likes to watter ski.   Grandpa likes to garden and Grandma likes to go to the beach a lot. I love my Grandparents. We are going to CA tonight. It takes a night and a day to get there. We leave at 2.00 in the morning. We will see Grandma and Grandpa somewhere around when we are celebrating my birthday.

My Chick

My chick's name is White Tip. She is black with little white tips at the back of her wings. White Tip is really nice and cuddly. She likes to get out of the coop. Though last night, she learned her lesson of getting out of the coop. Well, last night Mama woke up and herd a strange sound coming from the chicken coop. So she got out of bed and got her boots on and went outside. Then she went into the coop. She saw this big lump that was laying on a piece of wood outside the coop. It was about a foot and a half. It slowly got off the piece of wood and started walking towards the little stone steps Mama made with a chick in it's mouth! It was a raccoon carrying White Tip in it's teeth! Right after it reached the stairs Mama scared it away, leaving White Tip behind. White Tip was really lame, so Mama thought she was dead. Mama was going to leave White Tip there and throw her away in the morning, but then the raccoon came back, and picked White Tip up again, but White Tip made a little noise, so Mama scared the raccoon away again, and put White Tip in the coop. All the big chickens were in the coop, but only De out of the chicks was there. So Mama started looking for the other chicks. First she found Lucy, wandering around in circles in our  neighbor's back yard, so she put her in the coop. Then she found Emo up in a tree. She looked everywhere but couldn't find the other chicks, Chicky Tail and Bullet. She figured the raccoon had all ready gotten them, so she went back to bed. This morning Mama went out to the chicken coop again to check on White Tip, and Bullet and Chicky Tail were waiting at the gate to be let in! Mama let them in, then went over and opened up the hatch where we get eggs, and White Tip was walking around! At breakfast this morning Mama told us this story. In the middle of breakfast Mama took me to see White Tip. She was resting in one of the nesting boxes and her feathers were going up, so she was breathing. Mama held up her wing and showed me White Tip's cut, which was really long and deep. The raccoon had made it when he held her. I came back ten minutes later to put medicine on her cut. Then we went back inside. I really hope White Tip will live.

Our Chickens

Our Chickens are really noisy.  Especially in the morning when I like to sleep in. Sometimes when they lay eggs they sit on to of each other. They stopped doing it a long time ago, but just the other day I saw them doing it! It was frier tuck on the bottom and Puff on the top.( Puff is Mama's black and white chicken and frier tuck is Dada and Bergs brown one.)  We have 8 big chickens and 6 little chicks. Thats 14 chickens in all. I am going to name all of our chickens now. I am going to tell them in whose they are in our family order. First there is Puff, Mama's first chicken, then there is Rocky, her second one. Then there is Frier Tuck, Dada's chicken. After that, there is Tiny Two, Eben's first chicken, and Emo, his second chicken. Then there is Dotty, my first chicken, and white tip, my second chicken. ( I named Dotty after the dot on her head and white tip because there are a little bit of white on each wing.) Next there is Jay Jay, Jasper's chicken and Bullet, his other one. Opal named her chickens Poky and Lucy. Berg shares Frier tuck with Dada because when we got Frier he was just a baby. Though he also has Chicky tail. Pella, when we asked her what she wanted to name her chicken, she happily replied'' De'' so that is the name of her chicken. The sweetest of the chickens is Emo and the one that pecks the most is Frier tuck. The nicest  chickens of the big chickens are Puff, Moony and Rocky. The nicest of the chicks is Emo. The other chicks peck all around in a circle when they are in your hand.
