My
Yard
By Sandy Pichardo Bonilla
Nowadays, people are so focused on cell phones and
social networks that they don’t stop to look around and see all the beautiful
things nature has to offer them. My yard is a perfect example of those
beautiful things. It is an interesting place to visit. It has a lot of diversity,
which can take people out of their daily routine, and the stressful lives they
are living. It can be the best place for people who want to see deferent things
and enjoy all the beauty that God had created. There, you can have the chance
to feel yourself, and see how different you are from others. People go there to
see its magnificence and enjoy all this things it has to offer. My yard is one
of the most beautiful ones.
First of all, in my yard there is a diversity of trees
and grass. There, you can find a lot of cocoa trees with beautiful green leaves
all around the house. Also you can see many orange trees, whose fruits are
delicious and you can use them for eating or making juice. There are many palm
trees and mango trees, wich are very tall and beautiful. You can see many other
types of trees such as coffee, bananas, avocado, lemon, guava, sapodilla, and
pear trees. All this variety of trees provides a great view to the house and a
refreshing breeze that comes from them. There is grass, which is perfect to sit
down to observe nature and feel the calm in your heart. If you visit my yard, you
won’t want to get out of it due to its beauty and the diversity of trees and
grass.
Besides the green area, my yard has a diversity of
wild life. When you go to my yard, the first things you can see are some dogs, including
two little ones, which spend the whole day playing on the grass and barking to
everyone they see passing by. Also, you can observe many ducks taking baths in
a little pool. They spend their days looking for earthworms in the mud, hunting
insects, and eating all kinds of plants they find. There, you can see many hens
with their little chickens walking all around the yard and removing the fallen leaves,
looking for insects to feed their babies. Also, there are some roosters, which
like to fight for the control of the henhouse. Besides, you can observe many
lizards climbing trees, fighting with each other, and hunting insects to
survive .You have the chance of watching how the spiders make their webs to
catch all the insects that try to pass through them. There are many ant
colonies. You can see them carrying food for the rainy days. Furthermore, you
observe that they protect their colonies and that they are very organized.
There are other animals such as turkeys, horses, cats, and so on. You can also
see hundreds of birds flying everywhere and making beautiful sounds.
Although green area and wild life are important parts
of my yard, the way it is decorated makes it one of the most beautiful ones. First,
there is a path that guides you to the porch. This path was made with cement
and blocks. Before entering the path, there is a wooden door. This door was
made with sticks having a little space between them. It is painted in white and
covered with zinc to protect it from the rain. There, you can see beautiful
grass at both sides of the path, which makes it more beautiful. Second, it is surrounded
by a line of little trees that were planted with the purpose of avoiding big animals
to enter the yard to damage the grass. Third, the entire house is surrounded by
a roadway. This roadway was made with cement to protect the basis of the house
and provide it a better view. In this roadway, you can sit down to enjoy the
fresh breeze and observe the trees and animals there. There is a garden in
front of the house with a great diversity of flowers in deferent colors and sizes.
This is the most beautiful thing you will see there. In this garden, you can
see many animals that make it more lively and beautiful. For all these reasons,
I consider my yard one of the most beautiful ones.
The yard is
what makes my house more beautiful and the place where I can get in touch with nature.
The most amazing part in my yard is the green area, where I can sit down on the
grass to see all the beautiful trees. Another beautiful part of my yard is the
wild life which makes it livelier. Finally, the decoration is what makes it
very different from others. The yard in my house is the perfect place to relax
and be in touch with nature. If you want to get out of the daily routine, and
forget about your problems, my yard is the perfect place for you.

I enjoy reading Jazmin Ramona's essay. It so well oeganized and she has clear and interesting idea about Manuel Tavarez Justo's life. One thing that called my attention from the essay was how she describes his childhood. One important fact that I learned is that he did not have a Long political life. I found Ramonas essay too interesting
