I am pleased to introduce another writer in the family; my daughter Abigail. She’s a nature-minded fourth grader and has a wonderful way with words. Enjoy!
Hi! I am very excited to blog here with my mom and tell you all about my spring experiences! I also added a poem about spring at the bottom of my paragraph.

Tulips growing in our front garden.
Yesterday afternoon I noticed five blooming tulips in our front yard and realized that spring is finally here! I was so overjoyed! I then looked around and saw many blooming daffodils, tulips, crocuses and cherry trees.
But one thing was wrong one plastic bag was floating and got itself stuck in a tree! My smile immediately turned into a frown and I quickly ran outside to try to catch it but it drifted away too quickly when I was running after it I saw many candy wrappers, bags and, of course, beer cans. It was not fun to see. I stopped running and sadly watched it drift away that part was very sad. But things turned around when I had the idea to pick up all the trash I saw on the way and boy was there a lot of it! When I finally reached home I had armfuls of trash I was so happy to throw it all away and rest!
Goodbye for now and here is my poem! – Abbey
Spring
Robins playing in my yard
Butterflies everywhere
Flying once again to flowers growing
There.
Meadows Rivers and Things
Spring spreads across to everything!

How exciting. Abigail I love your observations. And the picture of the tulips you see is a great addition! What a lovely combination of pinks they are. Picking up the trash is such a fine pastime. Honestly, I have a secret desire to acquire a stick with a nail sticking out the end. Wouldn’t it be a smart way for me to get some exercise!
