Buck Is The First Dog In Space Moon photo by Nolan's mom A creative story by Kaya and Dylan B. “See you soon, Buck, be a good boy! I’m going shopping, and I’ll be a few hours,” declared Mrs. Yollis. Mrs. Yollis added, “ I’m going to the mall to get 24 new iPad Pros for the class! Be sure not to get into any trouble. Mr. Yollis is busy building the new and improved movie-making station for the 24 new iPad Pros. Goodbye Buck!” Then Mrs. Yollis locked the door and was on her way to the Apple Store. Buck was bored.

He was having a tuna fish sandwich with tomatoes, pickles, carrots, and cucumbers. On the side,  he was having Dr. Pepper and Mr. Yollis’ favorite, Lays Barbecue Chips.

Rose photo by Mrs. Yollis    The first day of spring is called the  Vernal Equinox.     Spring started on Monday, March 20, 2017, at 3:29 A.M. (PDT) in southern California. It is called the  Vernal Equinox . There are two times when the sun is  exactly  above the  equator .  1.  The Autumnal Equinox is in September. (First day of fall.) 2. The Vernal Equinox is in March. (First day of spring.)  Equinox  means  equal night  and there are nearly  twelve hours of day and twelve hours of night . One sign of spring is the abundance of colorful flowers that start blooming everywhere!

The beautiful bloom is a quite picturesque!  The yellow mu...
