The silence had been interrupted again by a *beep beep*.
The sound of the machines artificial heart, or most had called it a circulatory power converter. Giving the machines human characteristics had been banned after the start of the war. But she had been different, refusing to treat the Bot as anything but human until the very end.
Rain poured on the windows as the machine faced out, the pool of blood slowly growing at it's feet. She had been different than the others, until the very end.
*BEEP BEEP*.

I didn't want to hear the frog. Well, and I certainly didn't mean to.. But here we are, me, feeling like a modern day Alice in Wonderland, except no one mentioned how Alice must have felt. Not being able to tell anyone, wondering if it was all a dream? Thinking she must be completely crazy.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Garden Secrets:
Step 1: The most important part to planting fruit trees is selecting the correct placement. Will the area be watered well in the summer months? Will fall rains drown the vegetation and turn it to a marsh? How is the soil? Is it sandy or clay? The clay is hardest to dig, and often not worth the effort. And while sand is easy to dig, it drains water quickly. If you are in luck, you will have a nice dark rich soil that is easy enough to dig through. To test an area take your spade and dig down a couple of feet. If you don't have a suitable spot, you can make your own soil mix to replace what you remove and till the surface area.
