SOS post #9

TIME:Afternoon
PLACE:friend's yard
DATE:April 30th and May 5th




This week really felt like spring.First I went to rockport on sunday.It was my first time going to the beach all spring so it is actually spring.Also on sunday it was a beautiful day for the parker clean up.A lot of people helped and now you can really feel the feeling of spring.It looks great and all the flowers and mulch are a nice touch.Last week I said my mom ordored mulch and now we are making the yard look nice just like at school.Just in time for mother's day which also reminds me of spring is tulips.As you can see the purple and pink tulips make all the yard really pretty and mom's love them.Something that brings back memorizies is at my old house we had tulips growing in our front yard ,and we always use to pick them for my mom for mother's day.Another thing that tells me it's spring is math MCAs every year it happens in the spring.(Oh joy!!)Also we have the spring dance on friday and the spring chorus and band concert on june 2  and feild day on june 11 see a pattern??The worst part about spring happening is school being over.Oh trust me I sometimes wish we didn't have to go to school and that is was over ,but this year went by sooo fast and this was one of the best years.Another sign of spring is a robins nest and an egg.As you can in the pictures below the blue stuff on the ground is a robins egg and in the bush there its nest.Also as you can see the pink plants that look like hearts they are seasonal.They are taken in my friend's yard.She says around this time they start blooming.Also another thing that tells me summer is just around the corner to is my pool is opening in a couple weeks.That's all for this week,next week am going to try to get a picture of a butterfly.Also an update from a month or so ago the little bush in my yard is almost full bloom.

Weds,weeds,and more weeds.(Yuckyy)

April 28,2010
4:00 pm
On the way home from school

This is my 8th sign of spring journal entry.For a couple of weeks now I have been seeing the gardens worst enemy....weeds.As you can see in there pictures below dandelions.It definitely means  spring is coming because weeds are are plants that sprout from seeds that you don't plant.So as you can see in this picture of flowers when people go out to plant flowers weeds are there,and everybody hates them because its so much extra work.The only good thing about weeds is they help our atmosphere;its know for being the green blanket.Also as you can see in the picture of the tree all or most trees are completely green.A few weeks ago I talked about the flowers on the trees blooming ,and now the have all fallen to the ground.Now that the weather was nice and people are planting flowers mulch is becoming a big thing.A few days ago my mom order mulch,And you can't use mulch without flowers.As you can some tulips stems and leaves are starting to form in my yard.Another sign that spring is coming is at softball practice my coach said"now i can finally say spring is coming because when i hear the ball bang the bat Iknow its spring."This is my sos #8 jornal entry.

The tree's and flowers are blooming!(ACHOOO)

April 10-13,2010
3:45 ish
In my neighborhood.

This week is my 7th sign of spring entry.This week all the trees around my neighborhood are in almost full bloom.I talked a little bit about the trees and flowers blooming,but this week the worst part of all is starting to kick in..... Pollen!Pollen is what fertilizes plant but it gives me killer alergy's.The last few weeks have been fun,but now i have been sneezing a lot!I love all the flowers and trees like you can see in the pictures blow,but i hate sneezing and taking yucky medicine.Also since the begining of spring the flowers have sprung a lot.As you can see,the picture with no or a few buds was taken in march.The ones with beautiful flowers were taken this passed week.Its a huge difference ,and  that is why the pollen is worth sneezing.
Another example that I found last week is the green grass.Now most of the lawns are green and not bare.As you can see in the two pictures below one is comelety green and the other is brown and has a lot of bare patches.My last example is the hot weater.As you can see there is a picture of how warm it actually was.Last wed it was 89 degrees.Its actually really funny,a week ago it was 89 degrees and this weekend it might snow.
A non-nature sign of spring is taking out the grill.About a week ago my mom has been grilling every night.T add to my signs of spring from a couple of weeks ago,I had my first softball practice on monday.Again the weather has a huge part in the changing from winter to spring becuase this was the second time the scheduled practice in a week ,becuase it was raining.

6th SOS journal entry(All the flowers are bloming,I guess march rain brings Apiril flowers!!!)

 
This week it has actually been real spring weather! I guess all of the rain and flooding helped, because as you can see in these photos below the flowers are really blooming. On the 4th signs of spring journal you saw pictures of flower buds starting to bloom. Now they are turning into beautiful flowers. Also the buds on the trees are turning in to flowers too. In my yard in Stoneham I had this huge tree and around this time we used to have them bud, and my mom got so mad becuase they always ended u all over the yard. Another interesting fact/sign of spring is that my mom's co-worker told me is the bush below never loses its leaves and in the spring the leave are all up and" happy”, and they start to grow purple flowers.(All you can see now is buds, but they will bloom soon..In the winter they are all droopy. Another sign of spring is the red sox opening game. (They won!!)This is a sign of spring because baseball is a spring sport. And since the 21of March it’s been officially spring. Another sign of spring is the hot weather. I actually started wearing shorts and flip-flops. This is a sign of spring because you won’t have to wear long pants or a jacket anymore. Also the weather is sooo nice you want to dress lights u won't get over heated. Another thing to do with the hot weather is the beach. On Saturday my friend sister went to the beach. Personally I think it is too cold to go swimming, but its defiantly good weather to sit and get a tan.Oh yah because of the sunny days this weekend my friend’s sister got a sunburn. Something is really changing with this environment because sunburns in April very surprising ,because this is new England we are talking about.My last sgn of spring is going to Florida on the 14th of April.We go every year,so its a tradition and whenever I come back it always feels like i never left.
