of Peace
I went back to our creek. Just to get
away from the house. Our creek is Just in
front of our bush.
I hadn't been back there for such a long
time. Things had changed completely.
The Bridge was almost washed out. It
was so quiet, no cars, trucks and tractors
roaring around I had been there Just last
fall and the water was polluted, the grass
was dying along with the trees and all the
animals had left.
Now nature had a firm grip on things,
Everywhere you looked trees were filled,
birds with many nests and green leaves.
The creek filled and overflowing with
fresh clean pure water and many fish. The
grass was green and fresh. I saw some fox,
deer and a wolf. The rabbits, squirrels and
groundhogs ran freely and were unafraid.
There were so many flowers of different
colours I was afraid to sit down for fear I
might crush something. But Instead I read
and soaked my hot feet. It was like a
fairy-tale hand, peaceful except for a Blue
Jay overhead. So I walked on and on in
silence with only the birds singing. But all
too soon I had to start back home. I would
never forget this peaceful place and I
premised myself that.

Mother's Big Adventure
One day in Listowel at the farm Jeff my brother came into the living
room to tell my mom the pigs were loose. So mom ran to the window and
sure enough the pigs were running all over the place.
Mom had her white jeans on. Mom thought do I wreck my white jeans
or do we loose 20 pigs?
So mom ran out to those pigs. They ran everywhere. They ran through
the manure pile and the muddy fields and there went mom after them.
them.
She ran everywhere after those pigs. Of course Jeff just laughed.
Mom finally got them back in their pens. Mom's pants were wrecked
then when dad got home he wanted to know where supper was. Mom
had to tell him the whole story.
