The Unknown Adventure


When I woke up at 6:00am on April 12, 1861, I thought it would be a normal day in the United States. When I went down the stairs my Dad was cooking some fried white eggs, crispy bacon and some nice buttered toast. 

“Morning Ava, ready for breakfast?” my father asked in a very cheerful mood like always, “Schools canceled for today, turns out there's going to be a huge hurricane this week,” dad added. “Weird because there are barely ever hurricanes in Vermont.” Boom!!! 

“What was that?”  I screamed. “I think the power went out, weird the hurricane wasn’t supposed to happen until about noon,” Dad added. Boom!!!

 “There it is again,” My father yelled, “But it’s louder now,”

    Waiting for things is painful,

    but as we watch spring unfold from winter,
    and the air temprature gets higher and warmer.

    My tree.
    You may ask what it could be, 
    could it be the largest sugar maple you’ve seen, 
    or one that you’ve climbed in the past. 
    The second one is my tree,
