Carol

My neighbor Carol is OLD. Sometimes I think she has a youth elixir that keeps her living. I also think she is part amphibian. Once it was around eighty degrees out and she was wearing a long sleeve shirt, a sweater, a jacket, and a coat outside. Carol is also creepy. She stands outside on the edge of her lawn and stares at us freakily as we ride by on our bikes with that vulture stature. You know, the hunched shoulders, that evil look in her eye. I can see her as a witch, boiling things like rats' teeth and snake bones in a cauldron in her basement. She has even given us some apples that looked like they had been through some sort of horrific science experiments! Carol sneaks up on people too. Once my sister Bethany was minding her own business coloring with chalk when she heard, "Yawant some grapes?" in that gravelly tone of hers. Carol had snuck up on her once again. I hope her youth elixir runs out soon.

Pros and cons of social distancing

    There are many pros and cons to social distancing. Some pros are getting  to stay in touch with friends even though you cant see them. You also have lots of time to be outside and go on hikes, I also like getting to hang out with family and play fun bored games.     Some cons of social distancing would be not getting to go to youth group and church, but at least we can watch church online, another con is not getting to see your friends, but again at least we can text or facetime them.These are a few of my thoughts on what some pros and cons are.

Being in Quarantine

                                Nate's Blog                                               Being in quarantine has its advantages and disadvantages. For instance one good thing is that I have more time on my hands, but I can’t really spend time with my friends. One thing that keeps me occupied is watching movies that have been released early with my family and playing Xbox with my brother, but some movies and games got their release date pushed back. When I heard this I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to Jurassic world Dominion and an update for battlefront 2. Another good thing is that I can spend more time with my family.

Finding Mercy

Have you ever been waiting a long time to get a pet of your own? So have I and I will share the story of when I got mine.   We drove to a local rancher’s place  and when we got there we were greeted by a dog barking and a friendly voice that said ‘Welcome!” Mrs. Kern showed us the pen where all of the yearling ewes were.  She had sorted out about 20 ewes for us to pick from. I chose an energetic white yearling that had orange eyelashes and orange spots down the side of her neck.  I named her Mercy. We then loaded Mercy along with my sister's sheep, Gwen, into the back of my Dad’s red F-15 0. We would head out shortly and drive 45 minutes back to our little farm, to a new home for these two sheep.  They were smarter than the other sheep that we had gotten last year and they laid down so they would not be so blown by the wind.  We got home and unloaded them out of the back of the truck . Dad had to back up to the ditch and we called them out. They ...
