This is just a short paragraph I wrote to practice writing in spanish and I would appreciate any corrections. Thanks

Hoy estaba en una huerta. Hay muchas naranjos que huelen muy bien. Cuando caminas a juntos a ellos te provocan pero no puedes tocarlos porque los granjeros que te miran fijamente. Tenía una mochila y seguro que pensaron que había robado algunas frutas. Me dieron miedo, sé que tenían escopetas escodidas en sus coches para proteger sus cosechas. Bueno, estoy exagerando un poco, Es que las quería probar y no pude. Había muchas, incluso en el suelo, ¡podridas! y todo. Para empeorar las cosas había un sol sabroso y calientito que las hacia oler más deliciosas. Bueno, cuando regresé, fui al supermercado y compré unas mandarinitas, pero no fue lo mismo. big surprise Si hubiese estado sola me habría robado una

Today I was in an orchard. There are lots of orange trees that smell so good. When you walk beside them they provoke you but you can't touch them because of the farmers that stare at you. I had a backpack and I am sure they thought I stole some fruits. They scared me. I know they has rifles hidden in their cars to protect their crops. Well maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. It's just I wanted to taste them and I couldn't. There were lots of them, even on the floor, rotten and everything! To make things worse it was so sunny and warm that made them smell even more delicious. Well, when I went back, I went to the supermarket and bought some little mandarines but it wasn't the same. If I had been alone I would have robbed one.

Hello Dewclaw. It would be helpful if you fill out your profile, and tell us what your native language is. You made a good effort on both texts, but both need some corrections. - Gekkosan, Feb 3, 2011

Of course they have hidden guns, they have to worry about the nearby cows.
