A Special Place to Go

The grass flowing in the wind, birds singing. What a special place to go--the woods. The woods is the best place to go when you feel sad or just when you feel stressed out. The woods have a pond that floods when the snow melts. So whenever you’re back there you are bound to see the two ducks that always hang around. Many snakes are always lurking in and out of logs, too.

Looking at all the wildlife makes me wish the whole world looked like this. Sometimes I’ll be in the woods with my friends or I’ll just be alone and sing a happy tune while I walk. Once in a while if I’m real quiet, I can hear birds singing, squirrels gathering nuts, ducks quacking, and bees humming.

In the winter, if I’m lucky, it will rain and the water will freeze and make a huge natural ice skating rink for me and my friends to slide all around on! Or we make ice hard snow forts and have snow ball fights.

When spring comes and the snow melts, I’ll grab a walking stick and balance on trees that fell. Always have a walking stick when balancing over water or you’ll fall in just like me! The woods is a great place to be every month of the year. The woods is the best place to play and is the most special place to be every day.
