My Favorite Season

     There are four seasons, summer, autumn, winter, and spring. The best (in my opinion) is definitely spring. It is warm, but not too hot. The countryside is green, not dull and brown. Off in the distance, the Rocky mountains are blueish looking with the peaks covered with remaining snow. I don't like summer because its too hot and the countryside is dull looking. Winter is too cold although its my second favorite season. Autumn is my least favorite season because its cold, wet, and windy. Spring is also the best season to be having air-soft wars, too (one of my favorite outdoor activities). For all of these reasons, I like spring the best. What's your favorite season?

My Favorite Experience This Summer

            This summer, I had a fun time. In mid-summer, I went on vacation with my family. First, I went to Washington to our family reunion. We spent three days there kayaking, swimming, eating, and just having fun. After finally leaving, we went to Seattle to stay with my aunt, uncle, and cousin. We had a good time there, too. Our two days were spent with talking, playing ping-pong and basket-ball, and eating out. Finally, we headed back east into Montana and went to Hamilton for a backpacking trip with a church. It was a very fun time with lots of adventures in the high mountains. After three days, we finally came back down and drove back to Fairfield. This was the most fun-filled and adventurous trip of the summer.

Superstitions

In the human race, people have come up with certain superstitions. A most common one is "don't walk under a ladder". It basically says don't walk under a ladder because it will bring bad luck. The reason it started is because a ladder represented the trinity of God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Breaking this triangle would be evil. In early Christian times, performing such an act would label you as a witch, which is why it would extremely dangerous. If you are breaking the trinity, you would be a "follower of Satan", which of course does not bode well. Another theory for bad luck has to do with the the three points of the ladder. The top point connects with the building, the building intersects with the road forms one corner and the bottom of the ladder makes the third corner. Throughout history the number three has represented masculine or the animus. Do you think it brings bad luck? Well, you can always find out by trying.
