Day One Hundred Thirty Three

She's A Star!

Grand daughter Shelby reached 100 points in advanced reading--she's been reading "chapter" books and taking tests on what she's read--so she made the 100 Point AR Wall, which means her name is on display on the school marquee this week. Quite an accomplishment. Since she LOVES to read and flies through books, her mom encouraged her to start reading longer and more complex books. We are so proud of her. Way to go, Shelby!! Reading rules! And you rock!

Day One Hundred Thirty Three

A cardinal family lives in our backyard. This is the male, enjoying this windy day. Hope you can see him. He's that bright red spot in the middle of the picture. I had to take this from my back door. I was afraid to step out on the porch for fear he'd fly away. And my little digital camera just doesn't have the zoom power to get a close up. We use to feed the birds sunflower seeds, but we quit that because our cat, Buddy, also enjoys the birds a little too much. It's always something.
