Guest Student Slicer - Jasmine

Guess what? My name is Jasmine, and my favorite flower comes from Africa.  It is yellow in the middle with some pink and white on the outside.   That sounds like me, pink for love, yellow with care, white for strong, independent and funny.

As I lay in my bed yesterday,  I could hear the wind. It made me think about what I know about the wind. I can see it, I can hear it, it can touch me, but I can't touch it! There's, the cold blustery wind in Winter, The warm Summer breeze that goes by The casual breeze that carries the smoke from the fires of leaves burning in the Fall. Those are the “fun” winds. The damaging winds of tornadoes, tsunamis, and hurricanes can hurt property and people. Hopefully we won't have that this year. A little abrupt but I need to stop.  Happy Slicing! :o)
