Sunflower Journey Research Paper

Superior Essays
My grandma always said I was the Pied Piper of Sunflower Dr. I would come down fresh off the bus or bright and early in the morning. Riding down on my Mongoose bike to go meet my friends off the bus. I would come riding down and before I could get a word out they would be crawling out and begin to follow me around for the day of playing.
Grandma’s house is always a great place to go. You can get food and have a great time. But you can be there too much, especially when you live only a minute away. What do you do when that happens? This leads into the Sunflower journey. The first one to come and follow is my best friend Tyler. A big kid that looks like he could tear you apart, when in reality he is just a tough looking funny teddy bear.

We had a lot of injuries on Sunflower. One time Nate was climbing up a tree we have climbed up plenty of times before. When he grabbed a branch we have grabbed every other time we climbed and it broke. He fell straight on a root. Now Nate is a tough kid, definitely the toughest in the group, but he was on the verge of crying. I was in pain just thinking of it. Katlyn was riding her bike down the uneven street and hit a bump and flipped off her bike. She stood up holding her hand and showing a few scratches on her arm. Since no one was home at her house we went over my grandmas to see what was wrong. This was one thing great about Sunflower was there was always someone who could watch us to be safe. Everyone became great friends with the parents and grandparents. Doors would be open and we could enter with warm welcomes. Tyler sprained his hand falling off Katelyn 's trampoline. We were scared that time the most because Tyler was playing in a wrestling match in a week and thought it was broke so he could not participate, luckily he was able to. The worst one was with me though. I was playing football in Tyler’s yard and I was on offense. I tried to get around Tyler when he picked me up to tackle me. He picked me up and slammed into the ground. I broke my wrist and ended my fall ball baseball

    It all began in the Fall of 2012, my dog, Wrinkles got sick and though she got sick a few times per year,but this seemed different. I never understood why her breed of dog had such a tendency of getting sick with what is currently known as “Shar-Pei fever,” but after a little bit of researcth I realized it was bound to happen to her, and any dog of the Shar-Pei breed we could have adopted after her. Veterinarians had no idea how to cure or even how to fight the disease, and at this point in her life, it meant certain death. Once I found this out, it felt as though my life was over. I still had hope that she would be cured and go back to the playful pup she was just months earlier.…

    I remember when I had first bought the Marigold seeds, I was looking at the picture on the seed packet examining the beautiful elegant flowers. I rushed home, I ripped open the packet and started to dig little holes in my yard for my new flowers. Days later, I watched them grow as if they were my own children; I watched them become vibrant and full of life. They had given me the hope and happiness I lost when the Great Depression hit. They had lit up my dull and boring yard and made my days brighter.…

    It was a Friday night here at Keene State College. My friends and I were staying in for the night to just watch movies, get high and munch out. I was getting all my stuff together to go for a drive with the girls to smoke a blunt like usual, until Taylor came into my room with a brownie, saying that she got one for me, and everyone else. “We're all gonna eat one of these tonight instead of smoking. They are cooked in cannabis oil and will make us feel great!”…

    A single rose within a garden of daisies may be considered a weed. But that single rose can also contribute to the beauty of the whole garden. Just as the rose changed the daisy garden, humans have modified California’s superb garden, as John Muir called it, and while some may think that we have improved the garden, others would disagree. Much of California’s nature has become modified by humans to produce new forms involving agriculture, and urbanization as opposed to letting it grow naturally. Man has created his own version of nature in California; he has messed with the Garden of Eden.…

    A raised plant bed is elevated and sits higher than the its surrounding ground. Many things can interrupt the ability of plant growth in a raised garden bed: materials, bugs, and even the products that are being used.

The most modern stage in the development of plant bed design today for raised beds filled with fast draining planting mix, which are ideal growing environments for vegetables.

    Botanical Garden Observations On this Wednesday evening at 1800 on October 05, 2016 I am at one of the most prestigious popular hotels on the Las Vegas, NV strip. I am at the botanical garden where a new world is created with flowers and other natural resources to create wonderment for the current season; each season is changed and every year is different. While inside the botanical gardens I first want to soak up my environment with my eyes closed; I can heighten my senses to the various sounds and smells and get a varying perspective on my area. Once I experience the area with my eyes closed for about ten minutes I then want to touch as much as I can and look around.…
