Microburst

Last night, there was a big storm. It was raining sideways and hailing. The hail was about the size of a quarter. It was loud and the lightning was very bright. It lit up my whole room. I got my jacket on and went outside. We sat on the back patio watching the storm until my mom said it is getting too bad...maybe a microburst might happen so we went inside. It was kind of cool. I wouldn't say scary. It was exciting because when it lit up my room it was light blue.

My Lovebird

Someone in our ward named Becky Brear gave me a bird. I named it Sunny because when I first saw it, it was mostly yellow. I love it a lot. Every day I take it out for at least 5 minutes every day and hold it on my finger. Every now and then I'll sing to it. Usually it sits in the middle of its perch in its cage where there are fruit loops on a string. That is its favorite snack. I also feed it millet and Sister Brear's special mix of bird seed. I have had it for at least a week and I've noticed that it loves to sing back. I have a whistle. If I blow the whistle, it will copy the sounds it hears. It usually will use its claws and beak to hold onto the bars when I try to take him/her out of his cage.
