The Spring Season 

By: Alexis Dawkins

Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. It is the start of warmer weather and flowers blooming and people want to do more outdoor activities. Spending more time outdoors is better for your health and if you are anything like me, you do not want to be outside in the cold. In spring you can start swimming and going to the beach and/or lake and making family memories that will last forever. 

Easter is in the springtime, a time to celebrate Jesus. This is a day to get up and go to church then have lunch/dinner and spend the day with family. Around this time is spring break for most people. At Wilson Hall, most of the high school students stay in Litchfield. This gives everyone a chance to spend a week with their friends and make lifetime memories. 

Since it is not so cold, the people that like to hike and bike ride start doing that again. Even people that just ride bikes around the neighborhood with their kids start taking them out and teaching them these things and how to have fun outside. During spring you will see a lot of people start walking around their neighborhood or nearby parks, walking their dogs or just getting their kids out of the house. 

Spring overall is one of the best times of the year. It is also when everything starts to bloom and birds start flying and the air just feels better. You can walk outside and feel the nice fresh air instead of walking outside and freezing. Some people like being cold but I can not stand it so I promise that I will be inside in winter but in spring, summer, and part of fall I will be spending time in the fresh air. Spring overall is one of the best times of the year.  

Fall

By: Alexis Dawkins

This series is going to be about the seasons. Out of the four times of year, there is an order of best to worst. Spring, summer, fall, and winter is the only correct way of the seasons. Since summer is wrapping up and fall is starting, I’m going to explain some of the best fall activities around here. Fall is a time of year to be enjoyed by all. The air is crisp and clean and after a summer of scorching heat, the cool air is refreshing. The Fall Festival with the school is in October and that is a fun activity for the kids. They can dress up, play games, win prizes, and a new addition that is being brought back is the haunted house. Another fall activity is pumpkin picking. You can take a family trip to a pumpkin patch and then go home and carve funny or scary faces in them. Something that is more geared toward the women of the world is Starbucks and their fall drinks. From the Pumpkin Spice latte to the Pumpkin Cream cold brew. Back to October, Halloween is a fun holiday for kids. They get to go around with friends and family and get candy. It is a kids dream come true, to be handed candy while doing nothing to earn it. The best thing about fall is that Christmas is right around the corner, but before then is Thanksgiving. A time for family and food that lasts for days. This is a holiday that kids enjoy a little less but parents and grandparents love having time to come together especially if they have not seen each other for a while. The cousins get to reunite and play and be best friends as they are everytime they see each other.
