It sure is quiet around here. The older four boys are gone until Sunday morning. They are with Teresa for the annual bird count competition in which they participate eagerly. Eagerly? Yes, because they're away for the weekend, they get to eat junk food, and they really enjoy identifying birds. What could be better?
Meanwhile, I'd like to share a poem submitted by Branch for the River of Words competition. He was a state winner! We received a letter just yesterday informing us that he won and that his poem will travel for the next year in different exhibits nationwide. What an honor!
Water to Me
Water is flowing
Where is it going?
Water is flowing
Drip by drip
I like to swim in it
I like to splash in it
I like to drink it
Sip by sip
I like to fish in it
I like to squish in it
I have my net in it
Dip by dip
We should love it
We should care for it
We should clean it
Bit by bit
