My backyard

Evening

Mowing my backyard is not a very fun task but it is necessary to do. This is a sign of spring to me because when the lawn grows the sun shows. Also when the lawn needs mowing you have to keep mowing every week. The grass is growing like a weed because of all the rain and then having sun for awhile.That is why this is a sign of spring to me.

The lawn mower you see is about 10 years old. I have trouble starting it because it has a strong pullback when you are trying to start it up. My mom thinks that it bites when the ripcord snaps back into the place it has to start in. I love only one thing about mowing the lawn. That is the smell of the freshly cut grass.That is why the lawnmower is a pain and is not very helpful with starting itself.

Although their are a lot of flowers out their are little pests that come out and choke your plants. They are called weeds. They are little pests because they kill your plants. Most people wonder why the weeds were created. I think that they are here because it will keep the other little pests called bugs. This is a sign of spring because these plants only sping up in spring and summer.

Some eat your plants while others work to protect them. Like aphids for example. They will eat the plants leaves and make them wither and die.On the other hand though the bugs that help us are ladybugs, butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. They help pollinate flowers and make them bloom faster. They also help make the flowers reproduce the seeds for next year. These are a

We came upon the daisy when we went out a long time ago. Now we have stumbled upon it again. We found this daisy along with others when we went out in search of things the 3rd or 4Th week we did this appreciation of spring. It will look pretty later I thought and took a picture of it the first time. It is very pretty now as you can see from the pictures (above).

This is an important flower to the bee family. It is important because bees can pollinate it easily because it is flat and open. So this helps them make honey. Pollination helps flowers survive and get their seeds back so that they come back every year. They also say that the bees survive the cold winter when they store their honey becomes thier food for winter. This is why the daisy is a sign of spring to me.
