This is my garden. It's very big and also very wide. On one side, there is the
McDonald family and on the other side, there is the Korfman family. I like both my
neighbors.
There is a lot of grass in my garden. Now, it's September and the grass is long and
thick. I also have three trees in the garden. There is a young lemon tree which is very
small. It doesn't have any fruit, maybe next year! Then, there is a peach tree. There
aren't many peaches this year because of the cold weather in April and May. The
third tree is an apple tree. Apples always grow well in this area and the tree is full of
big green apples. Tomorrow, I want to make a big apple pie.

people think Rottweilers are dangerous, but Max is very friendly and everybody loves
him. He's 4 years old. Playing with Max is Hector, our beautiful white cat. He's
nearly ten years old.
There are many other colors in my summer garden. In December when it's cold and
gray, it's not a very happy place, but now in September, it's wonderful. There are the
red roses and we have other flowers that are green and yellow.
