My little bird family has become just that - a family with two little birds. I watched them through it all and now the babies are bumping around the poor mother from underneath. They are anxious to see their world and aren't interested in her keeping them warm anymore. The other day they were so active that I thought I might get to see them learn to fly. When I took Sarah out, I noticed the mother was gone so I peeked into the garden box and it was completely empty. Not so much as the flip of a wing. And though I was confused as to how I could have missed such an important moment, the father bird kept coming back wondering where his family was as well. From the Sodus Free Library: New Book Club Starting: As part of working toward their Girl Scout Silver Awards, Jessica Jonasse and Ana Abkarian are starting a book club for girls aged 12 to 14.

He had sent me great pics... small world) The Williamson Library has something for everyone: Stop in and see the Teen Art Gallery...works of art by local kids!

It was gorgeous, wasn't it? There were so many years that I would plan outside parties only to end up bringing everything back into the house because it was too cold out. This year there was no party and it was beautiful. Have a great week. The kids will have summer vacation soon. Sometimes, if you can have things for them to do, they are less likely to complain they are bored. Kids are used to being scheduled and, if they don't have some suggestions, they don't know where to start. There are great workbooks, puzzles and small games, craft ideas, and of course books and movies. The Libraries can help out with the Summer Reading Programs, as well. Copyright
