I did like the math part. I'm good at math, and you explained how to do it all very clearly. I was pretty sure I got everything right, but I had my mom look it over, just in case, and she said she was very impressed with my work.

I finally convinced Mom and Dad I could ride my bike into town on my own, to go to the library. Dad thought I'd get lost, because he has no sense of direction, and Mom worried I'd get hit by a car, because she's used to Los Angeles traffic. They were both afraid I'd get stuck somewhere in between with no cell-phone service.

I was careful to have a good look around the trees and high up in the sky before I slipped under the fence. But I could still feel my shoulders hunched almost up to my ears as I walked across the short grass toward the shed. What would those hawk claws feel like if it found me here?

Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer by Kelly Jones

I wish Great-Uncle Jim had a garden with tomatoes. Dad was talking about weeding the old vegetable patch the other day, but he didn't get around to it. He doesn't seem to know very much about farms, even though I got him some library books on how to grow things. He spends most of his time walking around the grapevines, shaking his had. By the time we get tomatoes, it will probably be Christmas.
