The Swing
Sometimes I wonder why. Why the sky is blue for the most part, why not always a rainbow? Why the oceans are different colors from lakes and rivers, yet they are all interconnected, at least I think they are. There are a million "why" questions. They are never-ending. Just like the cycle of life seems to be never-ending.

Anthozoa
I remember the first day of 2nd grade like it was yesterday. My family and I had just moved to Florida because of my dad’s job. New school. New kids. New life. I was nervous, shy, and naïve about the world around me. But as soon as I stepped into Mrs. Motts’ room, my uncertainty was quickly replaced with curiosity.

Benefits of Reusable Shopping Bag
Single-use of plastics or non-reusable plastic bags has caused enough exposure for inescapable pollution problems for decades on our planet. As time passes more and more people have begun to understand the serious threat of using non-biodegradable plastic bags and have cut down the use of the same. As plastic is made from extracts of natural minerals and crude oil, it can not be disposed of completely from our natural habitat and lacks recyclability. They take many years to decompose causing additional contamination to the world’s well-being. On the other hand, the use of reusable bags can help in avoiding recycling problems, are easily disposed of, and are biodegradable in nature.

Dixie's Friend
We moved to the farm when I was only 5. I believe that to be the perfect age because I was so full of questions and curiousity. It was a 20 acre farm with a huge red barn and there was a babbling brook that ran beside the barn and the house and then under the road thru a huge metal pipe. Momma would take me out with her to do chores every morning and would occasionally let me wander. I would always go with her to the chicken coop, because I loved feeding the chickens to make them leave their nests so we could get their eggs! It was fun being so careful and putting the eggs in momma's basket without breaking them. Then momma always let me break them when we were making breakfast. SO FUN! As long as I didn't break any, momma would let me go to the barn to find poppa and let him know we were going in to make breakfast. He was always feeding the horse and cow. And then would milk the cow to bring in milk for breakfast. This one morning I spotted something move very high up in the barn. "What was that, Pappa?" I asked. "That is our barn owl. He gets rid of mice, rats and harmful snakes for us." he answered. "But stay clear of him, because they have a very sharp beak and claws. And he doesn't know you". I ran into the house as quickly as my little legs would carry me.
