This past week-end we went to one of our Granddaughter’s first basketball game. She seemed to really have a good time playing and it was certainly fun watching.
My Granddaughter is the one who appears to be balancing the ball on her fingertips.
She has a game every Saturday for the next few weeks. Her younger sister has a knee injury and hasn’t been able to play, yet. I think she has one more week to sit out then she starts her games as well. They too are on Saturday. Hmmmm. I wonder what we will be doing on Saturday for the next month or so?

 
Except for short trips around town, which she loves, Allie had not been in the car alot. She had never been camping with us. She is a country dog and not used to being confined to a lease. We were apprehensive, but she did great. She loved the camper and made herself right at home. It took a couple of days for her to get used to “going on a lease” when we stopped, but that came, too. She loved running untethered when we got home, but I am sure she will be ready to go on another trip.

I have more pictures of our trip on my Flicker site listed on the right.Â

I thought most birds only had their babies in the spring. I have seen barn swallows have a nest of babies in the spring and again in late summer. But, this year, I have seen fledging Mockingbirds and, now, this nest of young Sparrows.  Just goes to show you how much I know about birds.

This is exactly why we planted these flowers. The male showed up earlier, but he did not stay around long enough to get a photograph.
