Today was the kindergarten graduation for my school. My older daughter, seen above, was given the American Citizen Award. We're really proud. :)

Spent some time by the river today and saw someone else that seemed to be having a good time. :)

This is the view looking down the hill to my house. Perfect weather for Memorial Day.

Yet another festival in Van Buren! This one is in the north part of town for the holiday. Looks like fun.

view

On the way to down town I now see this -- a better view of the hill back behind this house. There used to be a garage here, but it has been torn down. I kind of hope that nothing new is built there.

my music


Another day without a photo. Instead, I'll have something video-wise. This is me playing my own music on my piano. It was first seen with a tanka on my other blog, Past Tense, a few days ago.

The photo I took today ended up bad, so I'm using one that I took a few weeks ago. Looks the same today, too.

Egypt
DSC03247
The art teacher at our school did a program based on the ancient Egyptians. She made this, among many other things, and it stands in the corner of her class. It's as tall as me, so maybe I should use one of these when the time comes. :)

Babylon

The kids at our church performed a musical called "Survivor Babylon." My son played King Nebuchadnezzar. Yes, that's his face on this!

This was my visitor today at the river. I was there to do some writing, but he had other plans. :)

Flex Day

Today we had what was called Flex Day. The kids spent most of the day outside doing things like this. They loved it. Counting down the days now. :)

The warmth is back. I felt it and so did this squirrel - sitting in the shade. :)

Today I had to go over to UAFS and the weather was wonderful. Nothing important in the picture -- just a view from my walk.

I was bored at the game tonight and looked at the sky. I really liked the look of it.
By the way, the game got really interesting later. :)

new robin
DSC03158
Today is the first day that I saw one of the new robins. This was the best picture I could get, but I'm looking forward to when all of them are born. I have to be careful, though, because I don't want to bother them.

clouds
DSC03154
We had sunlight for a while. As you can see, the dark clouds rolled in this afternoon. It hasn't stopped raining since then. I can't complain, though. We aren't having any flood problems and we're not having the fire problems, like in other places.

baseball

Once again - spending my night at the baseball field. This is a game that was going on behind me. There's around 10 fields there. Looking at the sky, you can see that the bad weather hasn't backed off at all.

Man Street Festival
DSC03145
They're setting up the rides for this weekend's Main Street Festival. It's fun to look at it, but I don't think I'm brave enough to get on a ride that was just put together and will soon be taken apart. :)

Finally, sunshine! We've had storms and rain for a few days, even this morning, but it started to clear off this afternoon. Hopefully we'll dry out some.

We were supposed to go to the high school track today with the school kids, but as you can see, the weather ended that. This photo was taken right before the rain started. It never stopped until tonight.

I've always been fascinated by things like this --- windows covered up. Is it keeping us from seeing something, or is it keeping people inside from seeing outside? Who knows?

I saw a scissor-tail flycatcher today. Haven't seen one for a long time. This was the only way I could get a shot- at the top of a telephone pole.

The bad weather doesn't seem to want to leave. This is what it looked like coming over the bridge from Ft. Smith to Van Buren. Not a great shot, but I was going pretty fast. :)

I'm playing the instrument of the week. Getting better with it. I can now play the Flintstones theme song on it. I try to do that on all instruments that I show them -- now I can do it on 22 different instruments. I need to put that on my resume. :)

O.K. It rained all day today and there was nothing worth taking a photo of, so I'll use another geese photo. I couldn't help it - when I got started, I took lots of them :)
