On my school feild

This week it has been raining every day,so its been hard to find a sign of spring.On monday i went behind the school where Mr.Willaims took us and I found  more skunk cabbage.I chose this for one of my signs of spring becuase Mr.Williams told us it was a huge signs of spring.As you can see in the picture below the skunk cabbage is purple/maroon.You may wonder why it is called a skunk cabbage ,becuase in the picture it looks like a normal plant.Well,its called a skunk cabbage becuase it smells like skunk. Also at the school on monday I saw an American Robin which happens to be this weeks bird of the week.I saw it pulling a worm out of the ground.As you can sorta see in the picture the American Robin has a burgandy/cheastnut chest and and grey/black wings.Another sign of spring I found were little cabbages that were growing in my friends backyard.She says they grow every year around april,but she thinks they are eary because of all the rain.They are not close to being edibal yet,but in the picture below there are little  cabbage studs.Also it has been raining so much latley and my house got water in the basement.This is a sign of spring becuase you know what they say April showers bring May flowers.So lets just hope all the rain is worth it this year!

                                                                               In my kitchen/in my yard.

My last sign of spring this week is passover.This picture is a box of Matzah(Food you eat on passover.)

I took the pictures of the flowers blooming at 5:30 in my front yard.
My Dad took the pictures of the ducks at his work on tuesday.
I took the picture of the birds nest on march 15 in my frontyard.

ITS ALMOST SRING!!/ 4th SOS

I think this weeks SOS of spring was the easiest so far because there are only three more days till the exact day that spring starts.This week my SOS is flowers budding a duck,and  a bird's nest.A flower budding is a sign of spring becuae every year the yard is always blooming with flowers,and to me flower makes things pretty.Also in my opioin  spring is the most beautiful season when  flowers are blooming.Also last week I drove by my old house and every year near april or may tulips and other flowers are blooming,and noticed it blooming when I drove by.As you can see in the picture some buds are starting up;which is a good sign because its not even spring yet!Another SOS of spring is allanimals are coming out in the open.As you can see in this picture there are two ducks swimming in a lake.This reminds me of spring becuae a couple years ago we always used to go swimming in the lake and there would be ducks too.In my opinion ducks and other birds and animals tie together what everybody always looks for when spring is coming/here.My last example of SOS is a birds nest.Some people might think oh another birds nest,i see those all the time there not special,but htey are its helps birds of all sizes make spring a beautiful time of year.

The 3rd SOS journal entry/Its getting Warmer!!

Spring is getting closer and closer,and the last few days have felt like its spring.My example is the tempeture.As you can see in these pictures of thermometers over the weekend the tempeture was in the fifties.Some people might think thats cold(older fellows)but compared that its not even the first official day of spring,I think its defently warm.The tempeture also has to do with the snow melting.As you can see in the other picture below a sheet of ice/snow used to cover the whloe top of the pool cover.Over the weekend I took a picture of it and its almost completly gone.This happens because the sun has been out so much that its melting the snow and ice.

 
 
 
 
 

Another sign of spring that has to do with the beautiful weather and tempeture is was the first time since fall that we went outside during lunch. That to me is a big sign that spring is coming. I also walked home for the first time since fall today I walked home in only a t-shirt, not wearing a jacket.Another personal sign of sring is getting  my cleaets last weekend foe softball.I always get my cleats a few weeks before softball season.That means its just around the corner!
