105 post!!

this post that i am posting right now, is my 105th post! It has taken me 9 months to do that! I am glad I have done that much and am happy to continue posting!

baseball

I have not told you that I follow baseball, I am on the city league team, I am on the ST. louis cardinals! So far we have played 7 games, and are tied with another team for second place. Last week we were tied for first place but then we lost a game on thursday. We play 13 games in a season, and so far, I think our team is good enough to make it in to tournaments.

Baseball is now my favorite sport(again for the third time), I keep swithing what my favorite sport is, but I think that baseball is going to stay my favorite now.

I took teeball twice when i was 4 and 6, I took soccer when I was5 and 7, and I took mustang league baseball when I was 9, and now I take pinto league baseball at the age of 11. That is a lot of sports! it has been hard for my mom to come to all my baseball games(2 a week) but I am very greatful to her fore allways supporting me. Thanks mom. Well that is all for now.

robin nest !

(First i must say that we did take pictures but the computer freezes when we try to upload pictures, so there are no pictures.)

So we built a platform birdhouse, it is just a 5" deep platform, 7" long, with walls, and no roof.
We attached it under the roof overhang to the part of the rain gutter where it carries the water to the ground. Before I say anything else, I must say that there was already a robin nest there before we put the platform there, so that is half the reason they found it. So about 3-4 days later, a pair of robins started to put nesting material in the platform. there are now five eggs in the nest, and the female has started to incubate the eggs. I am excited to see what happens.

the best place to put it would be under your house over hang, so it does not need a roof, if you are putting it in a tree you will need a platform with a roof
