Hi! I'm Samara!

I’m 5 and a half years old. I have a cat at Mommy’s house and a dog at Daddy’s house.  I love to eat what I can grow in the garden.  Mouse melons and pineapple tomatillos are my favorites.  Sometimes the tomatillo juice squirts everywhere! My daddy grew some corn that grew to be 8 feet tall. Fresh corn in the late summer is the best.

I have a lot of stuffies. I always bring some stuffies when I stay the night at my grampa and grandma’s house. One morning I was trying to decide which stuffy I love most. It was hard. Then I realized I love them all, just for different reasons!

Sometimes I go for walks in the woods. I stuff my pockets with rocks and sticks and leaves and take them home to make pictures with them. I don’t like to get glue on my hands, so I wash right after.
