The Messy Garden Tending and more Squirrels

Hello! Today I am going to talk about a messy garden tending day at my school and about squirrels. Let's do messy garden tending first. I was outside listening for instructions from my teacher. Then he gave each of us a group and the group does their job. I had Kennedy and Jillian T. as my group and we were picking out flowers and ripping them into tiny pieces ad putting them into the compost bin where  worms and other animals will eat them. After we finished Kennedy went to help somebody else. I and Jillian T.  decided we should make a motto which was "You bring it we'll break it." so other people will bring the flowers and vegetables and we will tear them for them and put it in the compost bin. I also heard that another group made a leaf pie shop. They collect leaves and bring them to us and we break the leaves and put it in the compost bin. Kelsey also brought huge barrels of leaves and we break them. James gave us scoopfuls of leaves and other people gave us flowers and vegetables to break for the winter. Some of the roots of vegetables were hard to tear so we used sharp metal small shovels to break them by chopping them. It felt like we were cutting celery and putting them into a giant bowl of soup which was the compost bin. We teared a lot of stuff including flowers to roots and vegetables to stems we even broke red stems and green stems and yellowish stems and we broke yellow flowers and red flowers and blue flowers we broke white roots and yellow roots. Then Hannah and Nina came to help me and half the time Jillian T. went to help some other people rake leaves. When we were finished the whole place looked plain the only thing left was some pear and apple trees and plum trees and that is the story. The End

Now lets talk about some squirrels. The first thing is about squirrels they are about 5-10 inches tall and weigh about your phone or an Ipad or maybe a book. They live for about 10-15 years and they like to eat berries and nuts. Their favorite food is peanuts and walnuts really! I have a wild squirrel and she likes to eat peanuts and walnuts her name is Mishca. They have about 3-8 babies. When they are threatened by a dog or a cat they will have their tails puffed and they will make a ruckus. They also jump really long like about 4 feet wide. Sometimes they bite or scratch. Their dung, poop or poo are very small they are about 5 centimeters long and weigh about a pencil eraser they sometimes are green but mostly brown. They are shaped like an oval. Their teeth are about 6 centimeters long and their claws are about 2 inches long. They also have black eyes. They look so cute and brown. Some squirrels are tan.

Now I have to go. Bye

Jillian
