Summer is longer and longer now, starts in early May, and it ends late. Typhoon could be in any season, but most of the time it's only in summer, I remembered last year when winter was going to begin, there's still a typhoon! I feel like Spring and Fall only stay about two weeks, after this, the weather change a lot.
" The sight of all the peaceful wild creatures in the neighborhood is one of the things that make Iowa, well, Iowa. " This would never happened in Taipei, at least I had never seen creatures in the neighborhood. If I have a big yard as your brother has, I would like to keep a deer as a pet, too, and I'll grow some vegetables for myself. The pace in IOWA seems very slow, people have lots of time to do what they like, watering the flower in the morning, walking the dog in city parks after work. Leisurely and elegant.
Fiona is still a puppy, the photo you showed us is pretty cute. Even if Fiona stood up, she's still shorter than the sitting Liam. I think Bernie is such a sweet dog, looks like she take care of Fiona a lot, played games with Fiona, and " let her win" ! The game Fiona and Liam usually play is probably my favorite game when I was in elementary, we chased in the corridor every break time.
September 11th is Selena's birthday, people in basketball team held a party for her, we gave her a surprise. At noon, Nini lied to her that she forgot today is Selena's birthday, so she didn't prepare anything, this made Selena felt upset. After school, basketball team had to practice, but most of them stood her up, Selena was confused. Fifteen minutes later, they appeared with a birthday cake, this almost made Selena cried, it's so touching! We put the cream of the cake on her face, all of us started chasing, because no one want the cream on themselves.😂 When we left school, Red brought a bag of water polo, attacked Selena from the back, now she's oily and wet.😂 This is not over yet, we squeezed the shaving cream all over her. 😂😂 Everyone looked dirty that day, we all have good memories.

Dear Melody,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the very nice letter. I agree with you about then "elegant and leisurely" pace of life in Iowa, and how they are so fond of the wild animals that wander through their neighborhoods.
Has basketball started already? The "surprise party" for Selena was a very nice thing for all of your to do. I'm sure that she enjoyed it.
Your writing is getting a lot better. Is it easier now?
