Nature

Nature is one of my favourite things.  It is just amazing how little things work.  Most people destroy forests and nature for factories, homes, commercial and lots more.  The good thing is that some people try to bring back the nature. I disagree with how people try to cut down lots of trees.  

Just think about it!   How human body works, how atoms make up everything, how even how the smallest germ can be so harmful and dangerous for a human body that is millions times bigger then the germ itself!  

It is fascinating how the Earth was created!  How a little seedling grows into a giant full grown tree. The tree lives for thousands of years! Sadly people chop down lots of trees. The good news about chopping down trees is that now people would have to pay to cut down some trees, and I totally agree with that.  

I had watched a movie once that is about a human body on Nature of Things.  I was speechless the whole time of how amazing the human body works.  One of the things I really need to tell you is that in your ear drum you have the smallest bone there!

It is even smaller than a grain of rice! (It is the Malleus, the  Incus, and the Stapes).  Without it you would not be able to hear.  Another amazing thing I learned in the movie is that you learn about one thousand words in a year!  There was a girl that knew more than fifteen languages!


Now I’m going to talk about organic foods.   My family tries to buy organic foods, uh well, only my mom.  My dad does not like to buy not all organic food because it is too expensive. We try to stay as healthy as possible.  We don’t only buy organic food, but we also grow our goods in the garden. My back yard is mostly a garden,  and I’m happy with that because I get to help my mom in the garden.  It is a good workout.  And I remember that when it is like plus thirty, I would spray myself with cold water, or go to the nearest spray park in bare feet. We even use our own composter! To not waste any food we just drop it into the compost, and it composts for a year, and it is perfect!   My mom tells me not to put wood or pine needles into the compost because in the wood and needles there is acid which is not good for the plants.  She puts compost that she buys into flowers, but not the plants that we eat because it can be harmful for our body.  With the help of our compost, the tomatoes are bigger than an adult's head, the cucumbers are fatter than a 550 page book,  there are more raspberries and the raspberries bushes grow all over the place,  and the pumpkins grow bigger then my globe!  In our yard we grow strawberries, radish, flowers, mint, catnip, sunflowers, apple trees, trees, corn, carrots,dill, onions, garlic, cabbage, zucchini, black currant, and as I listed before. (tomatoes, cucumbers, raspberry, and pumpkin).

What are you thoughts on nature?

Basketball

Basketball is my favourite sport of all time.  I love basketball because I love scoring goals, playing other games such as Horse, being on defence and practicing with my brother, lay-ups and stealing the ball.  I want to get better at throwing free throws and three pointers and in general, just better at the sport.  I also want to play with new people.  

I have a basketball, but it’s really small.  I would like to own a regular size basketball but my older brother has one.

My brother is a skilled player in basketball.  He trains with his friends after school to get better.  He hopes to make it to his high school basketball team. I hope he does it but the coach pick a bad player instead of him.  I guess that player was in that school for a long time or that was his son or that kid is important.  I think my brother was way better than the kid that got picked.

What do you think about basketball?

My Bearded Dragon

A bearded dragon is the coolest pet you can have.  You may be thinking is a bearded dragon really a dragon but it is actually a lizard.  They are called bearded dragons because when they see predators, they flare out their beards to make them look bigger.

My bearded dragon’s name is Elsa.  Yes, the same Elsa from the Disney movie, Frozen.  My cousin, who is four, named her Elsa because Frozen is her favorite movie.  She is beige and brown and she always blends in with my couch.  Not very many people call her cute but I think she is.  

We’ve had Elsa for three years and she is three or four years old.  She loves green salads and strawberries but her favorite meal is mega worms.  Mega worms are thick blue worms which we buy from the pet store.  

Elsa also loves swimming in our bathtub.  She won’t eat unless she has gone swimming first.  After she is done in the tub, she is really active.  Elsa does not like being in her cage so she stays on my older brother’s bed.  She loves getting pet under the chin.  Elsa also likes getting pet on her back but not as much.

Would you choose a reptile as a pet?  What are some pet names that are suitable for a bearded dragon?

Spring Break

How was your spring break?  Mine was fabulous!  I did a ton of activities.

On Tuesday I had a choice between going to the Waterpark at West Edmonton Mall, or going to see the new Power Rangers movie.  I picked the movie because I knew that I would get to go swimming later, just not at the West Edmonton Mall.  Instead I would go to Clareview Recreation Center.  What would you have chosen?

When I was thinking about it I decided to flip a coin, heads for Waterpark or tails for movie and swimming later.  This was a super hard decision to make.  If you are like me I hate picking things.  It’s like I’m scared of making the wrong choice so I say you do it.  Thinking carefully I thought, If I go to the movies I can also go swimming.  In that case I picked the movies.  

When we got there we unpacked all the treats and drinks we bought from Dollarama.  Screwing the lid off the pop, it exploded and SPLASH!   We were soaked!  It just started spraying and spraying like we were doing a funny movie.  Two teenagers behind us were laughing so hard.  I got to admit it was pretty funny.

The Power Rangers was amazing.  It is about five teenagers who fight evil people.  The yellow character was the craziest one and he fell in love with the purple one.  My favourite Power Ranger is the red one because he is the leader.  I recommend this movie because there was lots of action.
