Snow

It is snowing today. Everything looks so much prettier with snow. Snow makes the barren trees and dead grass look so lovely.

Snow can be a bittersweet thing. It is so pretty, but so cold. It can (sometimes) make a perfect snowball, but also make your car slide right off the road.

Snow-fro!


One of my favorite things about the snow is waking up to it. You go to sleep knowing it will come and when you wake up the room is a little brighter than usual. There is usually a blanket of snow covering the ground, and sometimes it is still coming down. I love how snow can make a room a little brighter.

Learning

For a lot of people, school is starting soon, or has already started. Some people love school, and others loathe it. I love it mainly because I love to learn. I found a quote about learning. "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether this happens at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps on learning not only remains young, but becomes constantly more valuable regardless of physical capacity."  - Harvey Ullman  I think this is really interesting. Even if you are not in school, we should still continue to learn. The thing about learning on your own is you can explore anything you want. You can go at your own pace. If you find something that interests you learning can be fun. I enjoy learning about gardening, history, and many other things. One website that is really cool is Khan Academy. They have lots of videos and articles that you can read. I recommend it, no matter how old you are. Going back to the quote, if we learn we are valuable. Knowledge is amazing.

Lately I have been thinking about work and play. I think both are important. This actually reminds me of a poem. Work M. A. Stodart Work while you work, Play while you play; This is the way To be happy each day. All that you do, Do with your might; Things done by halves Are never done right. I love this poem. It is short, but so true. When we are working, just work. Don't do half of the job.  I have a job at a garden shop. I just water plants and do other little jobs, but I really enjoy it. I like how I can get sweaty and tired. It makes me feel like I was working hard. I also think it is interesting how  M. A. Stodart (the poet) mentioned play. Play (in my opinion) is just as important as work. There needs to be balance though. Everyone can have different ways to play or have fun. For me, I find reading, crafts, and hiking fun. I think if we have a good balance of work and play, we can be happy. What do you do for fun? ...

This poem is a nonet. It has nine lines and the first line has nine syllables, the second has eight syllables, and so on. Beach a cerulean horizon and glitter spouting from the sun's rays foamy waves breaking nearby boats drifting off to sea sand between my toes marshmallow clouds spotted shell fishhook sea
