The gentle breeze from the glistening river blew the willows leaves. The peaceful song of the robins night lullaby and the rushing waters from the river filled my heart with joy. I sat under the tree in my favorite spot, gazing at the sapphire sky watching the blue lay upon the clouds, when a bronze nest caught the tip of my eye. I stood up to get a closer look as I saw a creamy,beige owl whom lay asleep in the nest. I wanted to hold,touch or even kiss the delicate creature. It's feathers looked soft and silky,I could sit here forever I thought to myself, though my watch was ticking and the sun was lowering. I knew I had to go, but I didn't want to. I wanted to watch the sun go down and the owl awake and take flight, though mom would be worrying and so would dad. So I left.

As I got to our gate and tilly (my puppy) was there waiting with Abbie ( my sister). Abbie screeched " mommy mommy Emily's home" I just opened the gate then both tilly and Abbie ran up to me. I felt really special.I picked up Tilly to take her in for the night Her tail was like a Pom Pom as it wagged from side to side. Abbie grabbed my hand and brought me inside she told me what happened to Mr doodles in her movie when he drew on the wall. She also said "I am to good to do that." I did not believe a word she said.

The night passed like a race car and I am now at the table having cereal for breakfast. Mom had bought my favorite,weetos, I was pigging them down so I could go and get Georgia. Today was Sunday and we were going to go on an adventure. I put my bowl in the sink and ran up stairs to get my bag of snacks and juice. Mom was in the bathroom so I left a note saying I had gone. Georgia was waiting on the path outside her house,she did not look so happy, she handed me her bottle and I put it in my bag. We set off.
