Story about the tree: The picture I took is of our only tree in are yard.Right now it has snow on it. In the summer I like to climb it. One time before it snowed I was climbing it and I laid back on a branch and one minute later there were two bugs on me, and some lady bugs where near me to. I don’t know what kinds of  bugs where on me but they where orange and black. That tree also has some blood on it  from when it was winter.My sister and I , and her friend where playing  Marco- Polo. I hid behind the tree and my sister came running after me and kaboom!!She ran into the tree and she went inside and I fallowed and when I got inside there was blood everywhere, and we wondered if she broke her nose. I am happy she didn’t , that was a bad story about that tree. Also a good story is in the summer we like to hang a bird house, and a little bunny on a swing (not real bunny). Last year on Christmas my dad likes to go all out with the Christmas lights and it looks really really good he also dose one of the pine trees in the back.
What the tree is like : When I looked at the tree up close the branches where frozen, and thick. There were parts of the tree that felt sticky from the sap. Some parts felt sharp. When I looked close I could not see any buds or leafs on the tree. Snow hung on some parts of the tree. When I felt the tree some parts were smooth and some were rough.

When I walked outside I saw the dirt. The dirt was not moving from the wind because it was stuck in the
ground. If it was moving from the wind, the wind is going west at 12 mph. The dirt was really bumpy and
when you touched it, it got stuck on your fingers. Also the dirt under my basketball hoop that dirt is very
soft and there’s worms living there.

The object I chose was the park in front of my house. It’s like the old playground before from school before it got uh, renovated or whatever. There’s wood chips on the ground. There’s a swing next to it and there’s 2 slides or whatever. It has that climbing rock thing. It’s close to a wilderness trail. There’s barely anything to say about it. So the park has: 2 slides, rock climbing wall, swing sets, and there’s also the trail nearby. And there’s also a sorta big rule sign that had the regular playground rules like: No shoving people off, no vandalizing, etc.

Last summer my dad saw sap that was hardened. When we started doing this nature journal thing I thought oh this would be perfect so here we are. Sap is supposed to be sticky — and a sort of thick liquid. This sap is hard and doesn’t move: When I touched it I didn’t have any sap on my fingers. The sap is hanging of the tree because the tree is at an angle which might be why it is hard but I don’t know for sure. Because the tree is at an angle the sap should be dripping to the ground or something like that but it isn’t: Instead it is holding its shape. I don’t know exactly why it is like this but it is pretty interesting.

I was half asleep when I realized that the sun was in my eyes. So then I just closed my eyes but it was still shining through my eye lid so I got up and thought to myself what if I fight the sun but then I started to realize if I tried to fight it the scores would be 1000-0 i would be 0 so i went to go get my iPad to check my E-mails and that’s it. Bye

Isabelle- Rock
Sound: scratchy, Breaking sound, LOUD.
Smell: I washed it off so it smells like peaches.
Look: the rock is granite, light pink and gray.
Touch: smooth with small bumps, fits in my palm, medium size.
Taste: salty and unpleasant.

Writing: The rock reminds me of when I went to duluth with my cousins and I found a rock similar to the one I have. I think I’m going to polish and smooth the rock later. The rock has white small dots at the top like tiny hail pieces. The rock has a good feel to it. And lastly the rock looks sparkling

When I looked outside today I saw a family walking. Two of the brothers had football jerseys on. This reminded me of the Packers-Seahawks game in 2016. I think of that because right before the game my mom gave me a Seahawks jersey and my brother a Packers jersey. I still remember that game because it was one of the best comebacks in history of football for the Seahawks. They were down 28:3 in the fourth quarter. Then they faked a field goal and got a touchdown. After that it was just downhill for the packers. That’s what I imagine when I examine outside.

Today I observed the 3 tulip buds in our yard from 8:30 - 8:35. They are different kinds of green: dark green, light green, green. The green is lighter towards where the flower will be and darker a the root. They are still buds so you cant see the flowers yet, but the usually are reds and yellows once they bloom. The buds have 2 long leaves coming out from the stem ( the leaves are green too.) the stem feels kinda rough and its really weird to touch. They are in the very front of our yard. Some by our mailbox and some by the big rock we have at the edge of our driveway.

# data[].attributes.body
I saw a tree outside. It was a certain 3 branches on the tree that interested me though. They were each kind of identically curved in a weird way. They reminded me of many things such as: The giant spiders legs from the movie Kong Skull Island, The wolverines claws, and the Zillo beasts hands/legs from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Guess what I found today... I found some tall grass starting to grow! I briefly touched it and it was sharp for grass. Not sharp enough to cut my hand, but sharper than typical Minnesota grass. It’s “spikes” (that’s what I will call them) are full of many hues of greens. Army greens, lime greens, stop light greens, my eye color greens, and evergreen green—Does evergreen green make sense??? what did it smell like? I don’t know, I couldn’t smell anything over the wetness of the Earth. The only senses I could use were Sight and Touch. (Can I really use taste? I’m not tasting that thing. Gross.) But what really shocked me about that sharp spiked grass was: it was half dead. I have a picture below. Tell me, it’s not half dead. Half of it is all the shades of green, I mentioned earlier and the other half is the color of dead plants or if I don’t use the word dead, it’s the color of wheat.

My nature journal for today is a rock in our backyard. But it isn’t just any rock. This rock has varying textures, ranging from dirt to waves to smooth. It also has different colors. Bits of blue, grey and even little bits of crystal! There is even some gold bits. I reminds me of when my family and I took a trip to a beach resort called grand view. We got to go banana boating-the wavy part of the rock making the ripples-along with the color, make it look like the waves. And the gold and sparkly bits look like sand.

# data[].attributes.body
All the trees around my house. They only move when the wind comes and blows them. But they don’t look like typical trees. They don’t have green leaves. They don’t have any leaves. Evergreens always has green leaves. Some of the trees dob’t have any leaves but they have somethings not weird. It’s red. Blossoms maybe. Or dead leaves.

# data[].attributes.body
It doesn’t move, feels cold. Its white and sparkly. I didn’t want it to snow since it’s spring and the snow had only just melted away but I guess it is pretty. It starts to melt if you hold it in your hands for a while and it smells like air and frozen water. I like the smell because it reminds me of going outside on a cool spring morning and breathing in the fresh air, but instead of feeling like spring, like it’s supposed to... it feels like winter. Also when you squeeze it together into a ball it becomes hard and has the consistency of shredded ice- perfect for building a snowman or having a snowball fight although I think it would kind of hurt if you got hit by one.

# data[].attributes.body
Outside the sky is blue, bluer than it could ever be. But I see a cloud that’s slowly fading away. Outside the snow is almost gone. The trees are blowing through the wind. I hear an AC turned on. The grass is here but the air is still cold as ever.

The birds chirps fill the quiet outside, but besides that, there is nothing but quietness.

I see cars just parked outside but no one to drive them. Now I can hear the wind blowing through the air, but now I hear a plane in the sky moving people. But now the birds are chirping a lot more and louder so now the quietness is filled.

I woke up this morning too the bright sun glaring in through my window. Ive been keeping track of the days this has been happening this week: Monday, Wednesday ,and Friday. I’ve noticed it glares through around 7:30 if it ends up glaring through my window. The only mornings it hasn’t happened have been very gloomy. If I angle my head just right the sun seems to grow. This is a very nice natural alarm though. I still don’t know how I feel about it shining directly in my eyes every morning.

No birds actually go in the houses but there cool outside decorations. They’re small wooden bird houses painted with acrylic paint. My favorite is the USA bird house. I think there’s about 12 of them lined up along the fence. I painted most of them. But it was a family effort. Although no bird actually go in there. I think some with make themselves at home this summer because we put them up for the first time this winter.

I chose a rock, but not just any rock—no it’s a special rock. It has a smooth but grainy dark surface at the bottom of the rock. You flip over the squarish rock. You see a big crater able to hold something like a necklace or some candy pieces. You feel around the perimeter: sharp and jagged as your finger rolls down in big circles like spirals. You are no longer at the edge.  Your finger is safe from getting cut. This rock reminds me of a shallow bowl,  that you buy for baking to get a perfect pinch of salt. The end 🤗

The picture I took is my moms flower garden. So far there are no flowers in it but we are going to plant some in the future. What we are going to plant are flowers called Lily’s they can come in different colors like pink, orange, red, and white, and yellow those are the colors they come in.
We are also going to plant hostas. Hostas look like a bush with a purple little flower. And another flower is Day Lily’s they look like a yellow flower and a long green stem and some thing that looks like a bush with long grass.
We are going to plant them when the ground won’t freeze at night so they wont die right a way and we will get to enjoy looking at them. Another story about the picture is that there was a bees nest like right next to it. So last year when my mom was planting she got stung I think 9 or 10 times I don’t know if my mom killed the bees nest after or if they got killed over winter. I do t know :/.
We also have to get rid of the weeds growing in there soon because we want to plant as soon as we can.

It feels like it just rained. The dirt is kind of wet then again it usually is. The rocks have a kind of shine to them and are wet. And the air smells moist. There are a lot of birds chirping. I’ve heard at least three different calls and I haven’t been sitting here that long. I always here more birds after it rains but that hat might just be me. For some reason after it rains the air has this kind of wet heavy feeling and sent and it feels like that now so to me feels like it has rained. It probably didn’t.

I wrote about the little pond in my backyard I felt the pond it was cold and dirty. It didn’t move by itself but the wind made it kind of... like when you blow across the top of your glass of water, I can’t think of the right word sorry. The pond was surrounded by dead grass that looked like hay... sort of. There were cat tails and little trees they looked more like thin branches that were 3 feet long and had been stuck into the ground. The pond was dirty and it had some left over ice still melting from winter. And while I was observing it urged me to write a little poem kind of thing about it so here it is.  Fall came back and just like that it turned into winter. Winter said “oh please oh please I beg you pond to freeze”. Pond did so as he was told he froze and froze and froze. Then came spring leaping in the wind. He said to pond “oh melt oh melt, until you’ve dealt with all that ice within”

I’m focusing on a rock.Rocks can’t move unless something moves it.
Rocks are made out of organs and minerals.no I never heard of a bug hotel.yeah I would make a bug hotel.Yeah I would make a bug hotel but I’m not good around bugs. I get scared of them really easily.I would probably make my bug hotel in my back yard.

It was snowing. I am mad that it is snowing because I don't want it to snow, it is almost SUMMER! The snow kinda looks pretty though. It is coming down slowly and the snowflakes are big. It was like a mini blizzard. the snowflakes were like a perfect snowflake and it was melting quickly. The ground look like a white blanket is on top of it. The snow was cold to the touch and if you held it for a long time it started to melt. Then the snow stopped falling.

I see snow coming from the sky. I saw large snow flakes coming from the sky but then it’s hail. They looked like tiny balls. It feels cold. It smells damp and like ice. It felt wet and moist. Now it look like it’s melting.

Today I found a couple tulip patches. I felt the tulip patches and... they felt very... odd? Maybe it was just the melted

snow, maybe it’s just supposed to be like how it was. But why did the patch felt like

wet rubber. I understand that it just snowed. So that’s why it’s wet but why does it

feel like rubber. Nature is strange.

I scratched it by accident while feeling it. When I pulled my hand back, there was

green leaf stuff in my finger nail. What? I washed my hands to get that stuff out of

my nail when I went inside. It was bright green and I mean BRIGHT green.

The only normal part is the multicolor green leaves. There’s some darker greens

some lighter greens. Some my eye color greens and some traffic light greens.

Would I have a bug Hotel?

Maybe, it depends on what bugs it would attract. If it was butterflies and

dragonflies, yes I would. But if it were beetles and spiders, etc, no. Let’s not go with

the latter. I would put my Butterfly hotel by my sisters fairy garden. Because it

would look very enchanting. You know? Butterflies and fairies , that’s like a living

fairytale.

There’s big rocks around the uh base of it or bottom, whatever. It’s quite tall and leafless. I don’t know what kind of tree it is. I also observed that the tree has a ton of branches. I also tried to climb up the tree and just to observe more. I couldn’t get up because I gave up at the beginning because it’s cold outside. Not much else to say about the tree. My tree feels rough and hard.

It sits in my window lonely, waiting for the sun to come out in the morning sitting there with its needles
ready to poke something that touches it. It’s main food is the nutrients in the soil it sits in, its main victim
is my can who runs up to sniff it and ends up getting poked by its needles. Touch it and your hand will
sting I would smell it but I can’t otherwise my nose will get poked it doesn’t make any noise same with
smell I’m not gonna lick it sight? Look at the picture but first try to guess what it is!

Stick

Look- it has two branches and looks old, the branches make a “v” shape

Listen- if you rub the stick together it sounds like a pen or pencil writing.

Smell- it smells like super glue and pine.

Taste- I would say if I tasted it, it would taste like wood chips or dirt.

Feel- feels extremely like a chalk bored

This item doesn’t move, it’s not alive and can’t feel anything.

Sentence.
I like the texture of chalk borerds, the smooth ashy feel. The stick reminded me of the time I went on a hike with my family in the mountains. I believe it’s from a ash tree but I found it by some pine trees so I don’t know how it got there

I was going to try and look for a little bird friend but then I saw this really beautiful tree and I dint know why but this tree just felt different. I mean like this was no ordinary tree my friend this was a tree that was speaking to me but not literally speak but it felt like it was trying to tell me something important but I obviously didn’t know what it was saying because it’s a tree after that I found a bird and took a picture but then I looked at the tree and it gave me a weird feeling so I went to the tree put my ear on it and then it was moving on the inside and after I left that tree I had a very wonderful feeling.

I saw a Moth, just sitting right under my garage door number pad, not doing anything. I tried to move it with a stick by poking it but it wouldn’t budge. I observed that it wasn’t very bright, (duh it’s a bug, clearly it’s not the only one who’s not very bright) because it had camouflaging in brown and tan coloration, that would work quite well on a tree, or dead leaf. But no, it was just grasping on to our WHITE house, being clearly seen by anything with eyes.

This moth reminded me of this villain called Killer Moth from a cartoon I used to watch called “Teen Titans Go!”

On Tuesday night I saw a pink moon. I thought it was actually going to be pink but it wasn’t supposed to be a tint. When I looked at it, it had a little color. Very little pink, unless my eyes were fooling me.

I went outside. It was good temperature. There was very little wind. The moon looked like a typical moon to me but I wasn’t sure. My older sister, Emma said it was supposed to be big, the only big moon this year. Whatever the moon was supposed to be it still was a moon to me.

Today I am going to be observing my swing set. At first glance, I see that there is a slide, swings, a platform, a ladder, and lot’s of beams. There is a lot of colors on here, ranging from blues and yellows, to grays and browns. This swing set is about 10 to 15 years used, so there is a lot of “outside stuff” on it, like moss and spiderwebs. The parts that are the roughest are the underside, and the legs of it. The parts that get used a lot are the swings and the slide, so they get kind of dirty,  but they’re also smooth, I don’t know why. The swings are 3 different heights, be s is there are 3 kids in our family. The tallest is mine, the next is my sister Emma’s, and the last is my sister June’s. That concludes my nature journal for today.

I hear the frogs croaking a soft soothing sound that takes over my room. As I wandered to the pond it gets louder and louder. Low pitch goes to high pitch by the same frog. The rumbling croak sounds like medeep!! A high pitched croak tops all of the other frogs. A duck flies in. The frogs were not happy to see the duck. I think? Because a rumbling roar starts to happen. A choir of frogs loud enough to be a band scares the duck away. Leaves roll over with great excitement. As I walk away quietness comes to my ears again. But I could still here them in my room happy as they could be. bye! 🐸

Pond= doesn’t move, it’s a small pond and surrounding it are cat tails and grass that looks like hay. It reminds me of the time I fell in a lake at my old house.       The pond has cat tails surrounding it. One time I brought home 3 of them and started taking them apart. Little did I know my brother was allergic but I didn’t know that. So I was throwing the fuzz and my brother started to sneeze. His face got red and he had to go inside. Then I had to clean up all the fuzz and I can’t touch the cat tails anymore. Also behinds the pond is a forest. That little pond is where I learned how to skate.

There is a rock outside of my grandmas house that is very large. The shape of it is also quite strange,it comes up on three sides and has a triangle shape on the middle. The three sides coming up are a tan granite color. While the triangle is more of a smooth grey. On one of the sides there is a long indent making the shape of a bird spreading its wings. The other sides are more simple, although one has a crack shaped like a horizon line that you’d see in a piece of artwork.

I see the birds in the trees chirping as the white clouds are here just like yesterday but the trees are moving slightly around while I hear chimes blowing around the wind.The clouds look like they are gonna clear up in a few hours or so. I hear crows and flying in the sky but besides that outside has been quiet as ever can be. The wind blowing. I see deers running around in the forest with their younglings probably looking for food.The clouds are starting to clear up and I see cars driving around, bigger trees blowing around, the grass is green as much as it can be and wood chips and the light post turned off. Some clouds are getting darker than usual so it might be rain later.Pollinated plants-1.lavender2.lilac3.phlox

Outside I see that the clouds are perfectly white and the sky so blue I hear all the birds chirping the soft wind blowing on my face the soft and muddy ground squishing when I walk I see leaves growing back on the trees I hear some cars driving by it’s very quiet unlike usual I look outside and I see my pond flowing it reminds me of the waves at my cabin I see lots of trees grass is growing and turning green. It’s starting to get very warm out which I love I see my big rock where we would play all day I see the river running to the side of that rock and I see a perfect day the end

Outside I see that the clouds are cloudy and the ground is moist, I feel the fresh air blowing through my window. The dirt is also muddy and all I can hear is the sound of birds chirping all around. a few cars are driving down the hill. I see the leaves growing back on the trees as. Outside is silent unlike before it was full of kids playing having a blast with friends, friends till the end.

The sky is white, white as it can be like all of the snow that used to be here but know it’s gone. But summer hooray but we are locked because of this deadly disease people think it’s like the flu but it’s worse, but all we can do is isolate ourselves from spreading the disease but hey nature is beautiful take the moment and listen to the sounds of the birds chirp and listen to the beauty of nature and we want it to last so we must take care of our planet as much as we can so listen to me. We don’t live forever so make it count.

As I look outside and examine my pond flowing.  It reminds me of the ocean waves at the beach house my family rents in North Carolina. The amazing beach house has a pool with a porch right above it as you can see the majestic ocean. In addition to the pool and the porch the house has a basketball hoop just like my backyard.

That’s what I imagine when I look at my pond. Hopefully I don’t have to imagine when I look outside soon.

As I waited for my friends in the church parking lot, I closed my eyes, tilted my face to the warm sun and could smell the fresh, approaching season that transitions us from brutal cold to carefree summer daze. I thought about the butterfly garden I want to build in the backyard. I pictured surrounded by thankful beauties, floating near me. A light breeze brushed against my face and I slowly opened my eyes. Dancing delicately all around me? Leaves that came alive after a long winter's rest. Each leaf bobbed and floated to the same rhythm. One by one, each leaf transformed into a beautiful butterfly. Together the dipped, bounced and curtsied in the vast ballroom before me.
