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.
