A year ago when it was summer my friend Sophie and I would go down our hill and look for flowers together and butterflies. It was so much fun! And after we picked a lot of flowers we would give some to our neighbors. I can't wait till summer comes again.
One time my friend and I caught a bunch of butterflies and put them in a box. We thought maybe they can mate and have more butterflies but my mom said we can't keep them because they will die and we would have to feed the butterflies too. I said we have flowers to put in the box and they can have all they want of the pollen on the flowers. We put them in a shoebox with lots of flowers and we put window holes in it for the butterflies to see in the box and make it bright. We did that for a couple days and they still survived. Then we decided to let them go.
We also caught lots of lizards last year too. We only catch small lizards because the big ones can bite stronger and we also are scared of them because they are big lizards and the small lizards are just cute and you want to catch them. We also searched online how to know which lizard is a female and which is a male. It said the males have a darker tail and the females have a brighter tail. We noticed the difference in the tails.
We looked under rocks and dark places and under trash to find lizards and other animals. We also flipped rocks up to see if there are any bugs so when we find lizards we can feed them. My friend and I have a huge cardboard-box to put the lizards in there. One time we had them in the box for a couple of days and the lizards finally died. My friend and I felt bad and we did a funeral for all of the lizards. And now we don't keep the lizards for a couple of days anymore. We just keep some in a box for a little while and at the end of the day, we let them go.
