Lindsay I wake up from my deep sleep, the loud sound of Cleveland awoke me. My mom cleaning and taking care of the house like always. I very silently tiptoe downstairs to ask my mom the same question I always do. Bet you can’t guess what it is?
“Hey mom, since we now live in a new town, do you think gardening can be something I can do often?” Lindsay said softly.
“Honey, I know since we lived in a bad part of Detroit it was hard for you to get outside safely, but I just don’t have the time to take you out every so often.” Her mom said in disappointment
Lindsay’s mom knows it has been a lifelong dream of hers. But, since of what recently happened with her father, it has kind of been interfering.
“Just because of what happened with dad

Once I finally made it on the bus. The bus driver, that kind of reminded me of santa grumped at me. “You know I’m not letting you on this bus.” The bus driver said, in his old raspy voice.
I thought to myself, “could this be the end of my dreams? It can’t be, I just started this journey and I’m not letting it end. There must be another way.” I hopped of the bus with still a little bit a hope. And there it was. I saw this little nine-year old looking girl. She has your classic white headphones, listening to music. I notice a backpack sagging down her back. I couldn’t help but notice gardening supplies. There were seeds, water, a little toy shovel. I couldn’t help but ask her for her name.
“Hi!” I said, overly proud.
“My name is Lindsay, what 's yours?”
She carefully took out her headphones and a shy look struck her face. “My name is Kim,” she said in her very quiet voice.
I looked over at the supplies and noticed her grabbing them and trying to hide them the best she could. “What do you got there?” I said, trying not to be creepy. “Ummmm…” she said kind of hesitant. “Seeds. And water. And a shovel.” She replied. “I’m on my way to the community garden.”
My heart stopped the second I heard her say garden. I felt a rush of adrenaline spread through my body. I didn’t want to be rude but I couldn’t help but ask, “Can I come?!” I said, basically yelling. “Of course! It’s a community garden for a reason.” She chuckled.
I was
"I'm not that kind of girl!" She said haughtilly. Jack laughed and turned toward the bus driver, who was turning around with an angry look on her face.
We both went our separate ways as I walked to the store to get some seeds and other tools. I grabbed a shovel, blackberry seeds, a criss cross fence, fertilizer, bug killer, and a water bucket.
“Yeah and i'm dropping yall of at the park later on, and y'all better watch my kids!” Mom demanded.
“Shame. Could use some company from time to time,” she murmured to the walls surrounding her. She strolled across the room to her cooking area and found a small cup on the shelf she’d built into the logs. Placing it on the table, she held a hand over it and thought of cool water filling the glass. The liquid came to just below the top before she stopped it, and then placed her blossoms in
I could not see her for she was wrapped in an old green rag. My heart pounded as I looked at her, tears leaving my eyes quicker than warmth in winter. I quickly went inside and bounded up the stairs to my room. I was shocked to see my bed completely bare, all essence of her gone, light shining through the windows of the bright, sunny day as if my world hadn’t just turned completely upside down. I don’t know how long I sat on the edge of my bed with a blank mind, unmoving. Finally when the skies were a mix of purple and orange, I heard a knock at my door. I honestly don’t remember what my parents said, because I had lost all energy and willingness to
Taking a sip of ice water and wiping a cool cloth over her face, Casey was ready to start plowing. It would be the first time she would have a vegetable garden. It was hard to contain her excitement. Thinking how nice it would be to come out at the end of the day and pick vegetables to add to a meal.
The drive to tennessee was too long. I don’t enjoy sitting in our sedan squeezed between my two younger siblings for 8 whole hours. As we enter the downtown area, my mother asks me to give her directions to aunt Jane’s house off of our map.
“Let’s hope that I don’t get hit by a car.” I mumbled to myself. I told my mother that I needed to help out October, but I didn’t say why. Happy that I was leaving my room to do something, she immediately agreed. Mother knew that something was wrong with me, but gave up a long time ago. She
It was a nice bright morning as the sun was saying its goodbyes, fall was greeting us with gentle breezes, I was wearing a nice purple dress and my mom had braided my hair, I felt the fear running through me as I held my mom’s hand, she walked me through the doors and down the hall to my classrooms where I was greeted by my teacher with a smile as those few moments flew bye I was very distant very far I would occasionally pinched myself hoping this was all a dream my mom waved goodbye and left my classroom i quickly realized this wasn't a dream and I wouldn't be waking up anytime soon
She looked at him in awe and then narrowed her gaze. "Is this why you could always find flowers to pick no matter what time of year it
“Oh my gosh, that’s perfect!” Thea exclaimed. “We could raise cows on the side of the mountain and make cheese and yogurt too! I also like the idea of growing a kale garden, that way we can have plenty of vitamin
“I think I'm gonna be sick.” Arnold whined. The bus came to a stop as everyone stood up and jumped off.
While opening the car door, I looked at my mom. "Mom, I promise you, I will be okay. I know that I turned 16 three months ago, but I'm perfectly capable driving to Eastwood."
”what can you talk,” asked her friend, she was glaring at me. Then she whispers something in her friend's ear, the cheerleader smiled and causal look down at my bag ”wow I love the design” she giggled as she picked one end. Then they walked away giggled and ran.
We get to our house and I look at my dad, he nods. I put my hand on the door handle and turn. My mom looks at me I can see a huge smile grow on her face. Tears of joy run down her face.
