I was looking around in our neighborhood and I noticed that some of my neighbors have retractable awnings in their yard. I think it’s a good idea to have something like that around. You can stay outside without worrying too much about the sun getting on your skin. You can even enjoy the afternoon seeing the world and your neighbors go by.

I asked my mom if she was interested in getting an awning for our front yard. She said that she’ll think about it. My little sister is a handful and she likes to pester anyone just to play with her. I try my best to hide from her but today is not my lucky day. I played with her for a couple of hours and made sure that she is exhausted (just enough to make her feel sleepy). I returned in my room thinking about the comfort that an awning can bring to our home. I think that I will have to ask my dad to back me up, just in case my mom had a change of heart. But for now, I have to be content about having to spend the rest of the day in the comforts of my own room.
