Back porch

People feed birds every day whether they leave bread crumbs on their patio or lay crackers on their front porch. No one could tell that what they were doing affected the bird that ate the food. The topic of whether humans should feed the birds or let the bird find the food it needs itself has been an ongoing debate. Humans should not feed the birds because the birds will soon depend on humans and certain foods can be hazardous to the birds. First, the birds will turn to humans in the…

the shelter and calls and inquires how to get Carter back and they tell her that she has to come back to Baltimore to reclaim him. Her Dad tries calling, in vein, and explains she's an out of state student and they give him the same run around. Then I do a conference call and tell me the same nonsense and I say madam this is preposterous because I'm dogsitting now for my neighbor. If I accidentally lose control of him and need to get him back and produce the necessary documentation, are you…

hated it because somewhere in her sick twisted head I was this bad child. She took everything out on me. We pulled up to the house to find my three younger sisters sitting on the porch. It was freezing outside. Josh had them all sit in the car with a blanket to warm them up. They looked horrified. I walked up to the porch Josh following me “stay here unless I scream.” I said opening up the front door to see everything on the shelves thrown on the…

rang the rusty, wind chimes dangling from the old run-downed mansion. The sign above read “Muddy Creek Manor”. I was only seventeen years old when I first seen it. Everyone use to go there to hang out. It was a beautiful place. A few years ago, I came back to reminisce but everything has changed. It gave me chills to walk by the mansion. They are vines hanging from the wall. The grass is all grew up, it's as tall as a hay field. The family that lived there were the Jenkins. The family of five…

encounters Boo Radley, she offers to take Boo back to his house, because earlier, Boo Radley took Jem back home. She stands on his porch and looks around the neighborhood, which allows her to see the world from Boo Radley’s perspective. "Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough" (279). As Scout stands in Boo Radley’s place on the porch, she realizes how much she has matured…

The exterior and interior walls were completed by Doug, I decided to keep it at one story to make it easier for the people living there. An ADA home is very different from a normal house, there are many different codes that you have to abide by. The main reasoning is to keep the people living there safe as well as enjoyable. Some of the things we have encountered that play key roles in the building of the house is the doorway width, square footage of the rooms, and the window height. The way we…

All the years I’ve lived on Elm Street I have never seen any sign of life in the house across the street, except a family that moved in and moved out only a few weeks later. It’s kind of mysterious actually, and I’ve always wanted to go up to it and walk in to explore. My parents have told me the things they have heard about the house, like there was an “old man whose wife passed away right there in the house, and her spirit still lurks”, maybe that’s why the families have never stayed for more…

You see my parents were in what I call a love-hate relationship. That is they loved to hate each other. My father was basically always overseas, so when he did come back it was a great love story all over again until he realized that the woman he was in love with was a raging alcoholic and could cut your throat with her tongue. Everything went well for a while because of the fact that my father would only be home maybe…

It was a colorful Sunday afternoon and I was outside with my two dogs Rocky and Cece. They were playing while I was on the front porch on my swing. I lived in front of a major highway which, was very busy that day. I got distracted on my phone talking with one of my friends and, did not notice Rocky had wandered off. I heard I loud pop and thought someone had popped one of the tires on their car. I came to realize my greatest fear. I turned to look to see if I needed to help the driver. It…

First, I am thankful for Insulin. I am thankful for insulin because 4 years ago on my brothers 18th birthday i found out that my body didn't make it anymore. Insulin is great because it keeps you alive and steadies out your blood sugars. Secondly, I am thankful for Friends. My friends are great because they are just as weird as i am and they accept that. We all have our different quirks about us so that is why we are such great friends. There was this one time we were driving down spook rode in…
