On Tuesday Maisie visited us at home and we made salad together.
I mixed walnuts, bell peppers, cheese, and avocado with salad.
The salad looks impressive because itβs colorful.
We ate it for lunch and saved the remaining salad in the container.Β

On Saturday morning I hiked at Coyote Creek Trail, which looks similar to the ones at Vasona Lake County Park.


I met my new friend Ryan during the hike.
I had a conversation with my social group friends. My friends included Vivian, Amanda, Jack, Ian, and Gary.
The creek was dry and a fallen tree was in the dry creek.
In the afternoon I marinated the salmon and stir fried the pork.
I put salt, black pepper, red pepper, and squeezed orange juice on the salmon.Β
I cooked the whole wheat spaghetti.
Mom took pictures of me preparing the meal and the plate of all the food.




At night we happened to spot a big fire and smoke in our neighborhood when we were taking a walk. It was very scary.
Mom took a video of the fire.
My favorite activity was hiking at Coyote Creek Trail because I met a new friend Ryan.

On Wednesday I worked at Goodwill.
I took the broken hangers, empty hangers, and matched the tags for the clothes.
Then, I took a break to read a book.

On Thursday I pulled the weeds and cleaned the gazebo when there rose petals and leaves.
I used the rake and broom to clean up the petals.
I put the dead grass in the Yard Waste bin and put the petals in the bucket.
