Dear Diary,
Oh my; this snow is killing my Azaleas. I cant believe how cold it is, it even snowed, it hasn't snowed since 1885. My garden is so important to me that I had to cover them with bags; so they can circulate & not die. As I mentioned it snowed; Jem and Scout Finch came over to take my snow away to their yard; that god. I was wondering what they were going to do; those kids are crazy but so fanatical. I found out when I peaked out of my window and went outside.

I went outside and I see a snow man with my straw hat on. The snowman kind of looked like Mr.Avery without my hat. I yelled and asked Jem Finch to give me my hat back. Poor kids; they get blamed that this horrible weather is their fault because according to Mr.Avery is written on the Rosetta Stone. I don't know why it snowed I was kind of perplexed.

A little before one in the morning my house got caught in fire; the whole neighborhood came outside and was with me. The neighbors save some of my furniture; thanks to Atticus Finch who saved my most precious belonging. Three fire trucks arrive, one comes 60 miles away. Jem & Scout finch went to stand in front of the Radley house with their robes; when they came back to their home Scout Finch had a blanket on. But I really don't mind that it burned to the ground; I have thought to burn it myself. I heard that Scout almost started a fight with a boy name Celius at school. I think that Scout is a nice girl and she should talk to more girls and not be so isolated. Jack Finch comes over for Christmas; I'm acquainted now, he always comes during this come of year. That man is crazy. Now I am entrusted with Stephanie Crawford, since I don't have my house anymore, but I hope this doesn't make her think that she could have my cake recipe.
