Just out of the competitiveness of our family, we said we could do better and that’s where it started…

The Great Blueberry Harvest of 2012 The rays of the sun were relentlessly beaming down on my back and neck as I scooped away at the ripe blueberries. The heat had no sympathy for me, and thoughts of quitting my job right there on the spot were running through my head. But my ego would never let me give up. I sent the negative thoughts away and got back to work. There is light at the end of the tunnel. A spark of motivation runs throughout my whole body. It is day two of the harvest and the…

Joshua trees are relatively fast growers for desert plants. Seedlings will grow at an average rate of 7.6 cm (3 inches) per year in their first ten years.

Joshua trees can exceed 3 meters, which allows them to escape these pressures. DeFalco et al. believes this…

This was probably the most difficult decision of my life: what bread to choose. Both under a dollar, which is all I had in my pocket at the moment, perks of being a poor college student. I held both breads in my hands for a second longer, throwing my head back and groaning slightly at not being able to get both. I finally picked the wheat, it only being $0.88 while the white being $0.94. I shuffled back to the counter, aggravated at myself for not finding a stable job yet so I can buy the things…

On a hot summer day, there is nothing like a nice cold ice cream! Personally, banana splits are my favorite because they include a variety of tasty ice cream flavors and toppings! Supplies will be needed to make sure the banana split is as perfect as a straight A+ student. Chocolate ice cream, Vanilla ice cream, Strawberry ice cream, and a Banana are the main items needed. Also, an ice cream scooper, a banana boat (dish), a spoon, and toppings such as whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and cherries…
