First day of Spring
Katheryn POV
It's the first day of spring and it's going so well. Spending it in Bunnyburrow as we have done in the past. It's just Nick, Ienzo, Skye, Catherynne, Judy, Jude, and I today. Our other friends have other plans which perfectly alright. Or some are sick or allergic to flowers. Which really sad to be allergies to flowers. For they're so beautiful and everyone should have flowers. I find it hard to accept that some don't like flowers. I can't think of why someone would not like them. I for one love flowers so much. I can't decide what's my favorite flower for I have so many. My love for flowers is a reason why I wear floral crowns. The main reason is because of my mother. For she made me a flower crown from those little white clovers that always grow each year. I picked them for her and she made a floral crown. Which I love so much and she made me one. From that moment on I had to wear floral crowns.
For the first day of spring, I'm wearing my floral design dress. Which has different kinds of flowers and it's so colorful. My floral crown today is different shades of purple flowers. For Wednesdays, I wear purple flowers. Also wearing my spring black jacket. It's a little cold nothing that stops others from enjoying the outdoors. I'm not bothered by the cold but I do love wearing jackets and coats. Or at least jean jackets and trench coats. I like the feel of them and clothes that too big for me. Since today is Wednesday I wear my black trench-like coat. When I wear this I feel like I'm part of this cool organization. Ienzo has a blue coat like mine and he feels like that as well.
"Alright, our time is almost up," Nick said
That's true for its a school night. If it wasn't we could stay longer. But that's alright for we already had lots of fun. For we helped with the Hopps kit garden. Together we planted beautiful flowers. I made sure that Nick was doing it right for he has a black thumb. He couldn't take care of a simple daisy in Kindergarten. That hasn't changed one bit. So he's not to touch my flowers and plants. Nick perfectly alright with that for he doesn't want to kill them. We also saw a flower show and got paper flowers from others. Also learning about the history of spring and flowers. Which I knew a lot about and still lots of fun to learn.
"We're going to do the crafts right?" I ask
"Yes we are," Judy said
I don't have an artistic talent like Nick or Skye. But I do love doing art. My art talent is photography for that's a form of art like wood making. I know when photography was first created no one saw photographers as artists. Which was wrong for art takes many forms. Rather its a painting, building, sculptures, wood, or photographs.
"Let's get going then!" Skye said excitingly
"I agree with Skye," Nick said
"Of course you art lovers act like that," Judy said teasingly
"Like with me and photography," I say
Nick and Skye are like that with art just like I'm with photography. So much I would talk to random strangers even though I know not to talk to them. For when I was younger I took that seriously. Now I just say a quick hello or a few words. For not, all strangers are bad mammals and will do bad things to you. For someone, you know more likely to do that then a stranger.
"That's true and let's get going." Jude said, "I'm looking forward to glass painting."
That's what we're going to do pain on wine glasses and its flowers today. For its the first day of spring. Never done it before and it's going be lots of fun. I'll do a sunflower for they're one of my true favorites. My friends tell me I'm like a sunflower. They're right about that.
"I'm going to paint my violin," Ienzo said
"That would be so lovely," I say
"With the blue roses, it will be," Ienzo said
Ienzo is a talented violinist and I wish I could play. But I can't for I can't read music but Skye and Ienzo always say there's a will there's a way and that's true. Maybe someday I can learn how to play the violin. Blue is his favorite color and he loves roses. With me, roses are one of my true favorites like sunflowers.
"Alright, let's get to the art classroom," Judy said
"Right after you," Nick said
Yes, we're heading over to their school and its a nice school. Living in Bunnyburrow would be nice for I do love the countryside but Zootopia will always be my home and I love living in Tundratown. Snow is one of the greatest things ever. So we follow Judy and Jude even those we know Bunnyburrow by now. There are flowers everywhere and makes Bunnyburrow even more beautiful. The folks who live here go about their first day of spring. True the name its mostly rabbits and hares that live here. But there's other preys and predators that do. There are a few foxes too and a red fox named Gideon who's a bully. Base on what I believe he's a bully because he feels bad about himself and he lashes out because that makes him feel better. So Gideon not so bad he just has to see pass his self-doubt. Knowing one thing for she he does love baked goods. So he can be a great baker if he ever realizes that.
"Coming Katheryn?" Catherynne asked
"Oh yes, I am," I say
Seeing that they're only a few feet ahead of me. Lost in thought again and taking pictures too. Going in the Spring 2014 photo-book. I'm going to have so many and dad told me I could have as many as I want. He's over at Mrs. Hopps and Mr. Hopps's place. Catherynne smiles and I skip over to them.
We're all gathered at the same table and having blast making painted wine glasses. It's easy to do and lots of fun. Ienzo already did he's and he did a blue flower. Judy is doing violets and Jude doing poppies. Catherynne doing jasmines. Skye a large lily and Nick painting an orchid. Of course, Nick would challenge himself. My sunflower is going well. Going to do the petals last for they're the best. So I started out with the stem and leaves. Then working on the disk florets or simple seeds and that's brown.
"Are you going to finish that on time?" Judy asked
"Yes, I will," Nick said
Dad going to pick us up here and then we'll head off to the train station after goodbyes. Since the train station closer to the school than Judy and Jude home. Looking over at Nick and he's still working on the stems. Knowing that he's working on them.
"Well, that's good to hear." Jude said, "I think my poppies look great."
"They do and better than Judy's violets," Nick said playfully
"At least they look like violets," Judy said
Judy knows she has no artistic talent and Judy accepted that. So she leave the art to her art talented friends and family members. Jude does have a good art talent and his poppies look really good. Catherynne also has artistic talent, not like Nick or Skye but it's still good. I like her jasmines a lot and they look really nice. Seeing that Judy's large violet all the petals are different sizes but it still looks like violet.
"Trying is what matters," Catherynne said
"That's the truth." Skye said, "Even the best artist has to start from that skill level."
"Well not me," Nick said playfully
Judy gives Nick a stare and he's sitting over to her right. So in a quick moment, she paints his arm and the paint easy to wash off. We all laugh and we know that Nick messing around. I remember his low-level skill in Kindergarten and he still has them. Those they're in a secret place hidden to everyone but him.
"I do remember you making art like that," I say
"Well, you remember wrong," Nick said
"Or do you remember it wrong?" I ask
Nick gives me his smirk and I stick out my tongue playfully. It still strange to see teasing as playfully that doesn't hurt. But I do get the gasps of it and its fun. Better than mean teasing that mean bullies do. Looking over at Ienzo and he's focusing on his roses. It's hard to get his attention once he focuses on something. They look so beautiful.
"Those are beautiful Ienzo," I say
"Oh thank you, Katheryn," Ienzo said
"You're welcome," I say
That took him a few moments and that's like him alright. He gets back to working and so do I. Dripping the brown brush into the brown paint and almost finish with the brown. Just got to make the petals and that's going to be a lot of fun.
"Those are turning out great." Mrs. Sanders said, "A poppy and that's a change from tulips Jude."
Looking up to see their art teacher Mrs. Sanders. She's a cougar and thirty-nine years old and she's not biased against foxes. Mrs. Sanders is nice and I like her a lot. So I would like to learn from her for she's a nice teacher. The teachers I have are nice and I like them. I know that I will have a mean teacher in the future.
"Well, I find poppies to be nice and better than tulips." Jude said, "I like the meaning that they have."
Flowers do have a meaning and everyone knows that roses mean love. For they can mean more than that for roses come in different colors. Like my favorite color yellow for rose means friendship. I love learning all about flowers and plants for its so much fun. I want to learn all I can about nature for its something I love. Tulips used to be Jude's favorite flower and now its poppies. Knowing that Mrs. Jack's favorite flower is poppies. I sure hope he's alright and still doesn't know where he went. Still having that chocolate he gave me and I'm going to slowly enjoy that. I hope I can see him again in the future. All well and make with his family. I know he had a family just not in Zootopia.
"That's good to hear." Mrs. Sanders said
"Mrs. Sanders?" I ask
"What is it, Katheryn?" Mrs. Sanders asked
"Do I have only use this glass for wine?" I ask "I don't like the smell of adult drinks. For wine smells funny so I think it would taste funny."
Dad has a few wine glasses and he does drink. But he only does that when I'm not around he knows I don't like the smell. He doesn't have to worry about me underage drinking. Kaia he has to watch out for those I know she too good to do something like that. Knowing that mother liked a good glass of wine and she was like day. Mrs. Sanders looks over and smiles.
"No, you don't have to use wine for a wine glass." Mrs. Sanders said
"So neat!" I say happily
So I can use this wine glass and I was sure hoping that I could. Now I know can use it for my favorite juices and it will be so great. Looking back at Nick and seeing he's getting one of orchid is getting done. Skye's large lily looks really great. Mrs. Sanders smiles as she walks away. Dad and big sis are going to love my Sunflower juice glass.
"We should have toast someday with our favorite juice." Judy said, "It will feel like how grown-ups do."
"I like the sound of that," I say
"Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun," Skye said
It truly does so like a lot of fun and we will do that in the future. For my parents used to do that even when it was so silly. I know that dad misses that a lot and I miss mom a lot. Knowing that big sis and dad feel the same way. But I know she will always be with us. Putting the brown paintbrush in the water glass and it's so dirty. Since the paint not toxic it would okay to drink but it would be terrible. Picking up a yellow brush and put it in the yellow paint. Having a smile on my face and head to the glass. Slowly and carefully making the first yellow petal.
Author note, With what has been happening it slipped my mind today was the first day of spring. I realized that at midnight and came up with this story in a day. A little shorter than the others and I would guess my shortest story ever. But its a simple but good story. So I hope you enjoyed reading it and I enjoyed writing it. So until next time readers.
