My grandpa also has a small garden at the balcony, he plants lots of flowers, the one I like the most is osmanthus, I think it smells like apples. Let me tell you something cool, swallows used to built the nest in his garden! Certain colors of flowers people usually planted in Arizona is flowers with red, orange, or yellow blossoms, because those are the colors that are most attractive to the hummingbirds and butterflies. But you also plants blue flowers, which will open after sunrise and close up at about 10:00 in the morning because it doesn’t like the hot afternoon sun, the reason why you plant it is simple, it's only because you like it.
Dear Melody,
ReplyDeleteNice letter! First of all, congratulations on being the new manager for the basketball team. It's a more difficult job that what most people think. I'm looking forward to keeping track of how the team is doing during the season. Which of your 120 and 220 classmates are on the team his year? I'm also looking forward to pictures!
I also liked the way that you wrote the answers to the questions as an essay. Very creative. One minor error was that the flowers I was writing about are in Arizona, not Iowa.
Good job! Please keep writing.
Tim
