My commute takes 45 minutes, 15 of which are on foot. It's a pleasant walk. Half is on the sunny side of the street, where plants bloom in the spring and have berries in the fall.  Usually, there are a lot of interesting birds. The other half goes near the school and kindergarten. I like to watch the kids hurry to class, play football and catch-up, and dig in the sandbox. They cheer me up.  The last part is by bus.  I read books on the way - about three in a year, if they are not too thick :)

* commute = [way to work]

* the word bushes is less common, maybe plants is ok?

* not sure funny is used for birds, maybe interesting is ok?
