Entry The twelvth

A
Above this text that I am writing right now is the rhubarb plant that I have in my backyard it is looking green and red now like it does every spring.

The above pictures are all flowers that my dad planted in my front and back yards. The closest two pictures are of 'goblin' flowers and the far left one from this text are zinnias. This Saturday Meadow Brook county club opened again.

Entry the Eleventh

Here is a bird feeder that my mom got that just has been put up a few weeks ago. This is a sign of spring because it is useless to have a birdfeeder unless ther are birds around. Here is my neighbor Zach riding his bike. This is a sign of spring to me because of course no one rides their bike in the winter.

This is the extension of my drivewy that I have been taking pictures of for a while now. Yardwork is a sign of spring. It is done now. Done yardwork is a sign of summer.

Entry the Tenth

Above this text that I am writing Is a photograph that I took that depicts two bicycle helmets. This is a sign of not so much spring, but summer because a popular family activity during the summer is biking around town. The picture below shows the progress that my dad has made on our driveway, which shows the Spring is progressing along.

Above this second paragraph are some flowers that have been creeping up in my back yard. They are expected to blossom soon. Below are the now flourishing helabores that have become a thing to watch. Below that are th Rhododendrons that have not flowered as well.

My Waddlers

Penguins: "These are some mad beast penguins that I got"

Entry the Ninth

To the right of this text that I am writing right now is a photograph that I took of my neighbor shows him depicted wearing a summer outfit. Below is yet another picture of the sun that I took at about 4:00.

Next to this text is a thermometer that reads 95 degrees, which is very hot. This is a sign that not only spring but summer is coming because the sun is facing more directly towards the earth.

Entry the Eighth

If you can notice the water in the below and left pictures, you will know that it has been raining, which is of course usual for April because all of the melted snow has evaporated and is now coming down to earth in the form of rain.

Here are the hellebores that we have been observing and taking pictures of for many, many weeks. They have gotten taller and stronger, as well as becoming much more colorful.

Entry the Seventh

Next to this text that I am writing at this moment is a picture of my favorite squirt gun. This is a sign of spring to me because people do not use squirt guns until summer and spring because they do not want to or need to get cooled off in the winter or in the fall.

Above this text is a picture of the expansion that we are doing on my driveway. This is sign of spring to me because my dad always starts outdoor work because it is nice weather. Next to this writing is another picture of the sun.

Entry the Sixth

Above this text that I am writing at this moment is the helabores that I have been observing over the past two months. they are now not just green or even budded, but colorful!

Next are the Rhododendrons I have been watching for a while as well, ever since the second entry! In the above picture, my neighbor is depicted riding a scooter down the library hill.

And next to this are some more crocuses that are next to my house.

Entry the Fifth

Above this text that I am writing right now is a picture of some lilacs that are blooming next to my house. later, they will grow yellow leaf-like petals. To the right are the hellebores in my backyard that I showed you last entry, when they did not look remotely like flowers, but now they do! There is another picture of them below this text.

To the right of this text is a picture of a Crocus. these are always the first flowers that I see in the spring, and it always grows in this specific area of my front lawn. Below that picture is a photograph that I took is an Azalea that is growing on my side yard next to a rosebush. It just started blooming. And below that is the current state of the Rhododendrons that I mentioned in the second entry.

Entry the Fourth

To the right, you will see the sun. It is much brighter than it has been in a long time. I have included pictures of the sun during the past few weeks and entries so that anyone who reads this will be able to see the vast increase in sunlight and at certain times the brightness increasing drastically.

Another fresh occurrence during the past few weeks and entries is the the hellebores in my yard, as shown below, are beginning to flower and grow, which they do every spring. hellebores are tough flowers, and usually survive even the harshest winters.

Entry Three

One new occurrence that has occurred these past few days has been that the heat and light has increased considerably. The above picture is one that I took today at about five o'clock. In it, my neighbors are depicted shooting hoops. Even though this is a decision, you cannot play basketball during the winter because it will not bounce.

It will not bounce because the air inside the basketball will contract and when the ball is not full of air, the ball does not bounce anywhere near as well. the ball bounces in the first place because of the reaction. This reaction is less powerful if the momentum is less, and the momentum is less if it has less weight.

Entry Two

One sign of spring that I noticed during the past few weeks was that the Rhododendrons in my back yard were opening up. The leaves bunch up together and huddle together to avoid the cold and snow. The leaves also form a tight canopy. This canopy is hole less and repels water well. This shields the plants roots fro over feeding and over watering, which is essential as the plants strive to survive the long, hard, winter.

Another change that I have observed lately that has occurred in this particular specimen of this plant is that the bulbs that will eventually evolve into flowers have been opening up at a slow but steady pace. Yesterday Boston Red Sox players and pitchers reported for spring training in Fort Worth, Texas. Lately, people all over are getting ready to start spring cleaning as well.

Entry One

One sign of spring I noticed was that the days are slowly but steadily getting shorter. a way to show this is to show these pictures of the sun I took at the library at 4:3o. The sun is still visible in this picture. A month ago the sun would have set about 40 minutes before. The spring and summer have much longer days than the winter.

The thing is, people say that in the spring and summer have shorter days than the winter and fall. This, however, is not technically true. The summer and spring actually have later sunsets and earlier sunrises than the fall and winter.
