今日是星期六，也是一个异常的神圣的节日——清明节.
清明节的时候，我们回去扫墓.今日我又来到了先辈的坟前，准备帮他们扫一下墓.我拿着锄头，把他们坟前的'草全都除光了.
除草看似简单，可是干起来却挺累的，锄两下就要歇一会，如果不是大人帮忙可能一天我也除不完.
坟前一片光，感觉特单调，孤独.于是，第二天吃过晚饭后，我就跑到山上挖了几颗果树种在了坟前.
清明节是个重要的节日，让我们记住这个神圣而异常的节日吧!还要记住在这一天要帮先辈们扫墓哦!
还有一件事，在这个节日里，相信你们有思念的人吧!我最思念的人是我的外婆，外婆在我很小的时候就永远的离开了我，我多么期望她能再回到我身边，这就是我最思念的人，你们在清明节最思念谁呢
