Strange Occurrences

     A great event has occurred in Maycomb county, it snowed! We haven't seen the snow down here for years. It is a rare event and the schools had to be closed. If it continues to be this cold my azaleas will die. I also had to cover all of my bushes with burlap sacks so they don't freeze. Jem and Scout Finch didn't have to go to school today so they were questioning me about my plants, they even asked to take some of my snow. Lord knows what they're going to do with it. Anyways, I told them they could take as much snow as they wanted. I don't want it in my yard, freezing my plants to death. When Jem was finished making his creature out of snow he came into my backyard and took my sun hat and hedge-clippers! I demanded him to bring them back to me but Atticus insisted he would only have them for a little while. That man will never raise those children properly.
      That night, I woke up to the smell of smoke. I thought it was just my wood stove burning but it was my house. I quickly called the fire department. The neighbours came over as soon as they could to help me save as much furniture as possible. I thanked them all  very much for this kind gesture. I am now temporarily staying at Miss Stephanie Crawford's house. With all of the chaos of my house no one even noticed what Arthur Radley did to Scout. He placed a blanket on her while she was outside. I wish I was there so I could catch Arthur in the act.
        Even though I lost my house I believe that everything happens for a reason. I didn't like my old house that much anyways. I can now build a smaller house with a larger garden, I've been wanting one for a while.
That's all the news I have for today, I will be back as soon as I can.
