 Free
time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and I am
"free" to do things that I enjoy doing. |
I spend time watching television. As my favorite TV shows come on at specific times, I make sure that I finish my homework and chores well before the shows. Otherwise I will have to miss them. Mostly I manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. Another thing that I do in my free time is potter around in the garden with my mother. She plants a fair bit of flowers and I enjoy helping her take care of them. It is a pleasure to feel the soil, prune the plants, remove the weeds, and do.
The little
things that help the plants grow better. It always fills me with wonder to
watch seedlings germinate, sprout leaves, and eventually grow to produce
beautiful flowers.
Pottering
around in the garden also taught me many things about the insects, butterflies,
snails, caterpillars, centipedes, millipedes, and other small creatures that
inhabit the place.
In the evening
when the weather is fine, I sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood
with my friends. This is the time when most of the neighbors have come home from
work or school. We say hello to those whom we know. They are mostly friendly
people and they acknowledge our greetings.
In the night, I
usually, do a bit of reading before going to bed. Books are like little treasure
chests. A lot of information and knowledge is to be found in them and all it
takes is a bit of time spent reading them. This is certainly a very beneficial
way to spend my free time.
