True Story in the Life of Bud #3 - Homeward Bound

"Look!", Emily exclaims "Do you see that dog!?" I turn my head and there is what looks like a border collie bolting down sidewalk on the other side of the street. The dog without pause or hesitation ran straight past all the people walking. no one seemed to notice as it zipped by. Emily and I watched as it successfully negotiated an intersection without slowing down, and then ran out of sight. It was the strangest sight. No one seemed to be chasing after the dog and there was no sign of anything that would make it run like that. It was like it had somewhere to be and it needed to be there fast.

I remember growing a sunflower when I lived in Woodbury Minnesota. My teacher brought in a bunch of seeds and pots and we got to pick what kind of plant we wanted to grow. I easily passed over the tomatoes and other vegetables to pick a sunflower. Once the plants started sprouting I got to take my flower home. We planted it in the front yard. The sunflower grew over my head! I think I have a picture of it somewhere…

When I started growing these sunflowers, I felt like I was in grade school all over again. I love how they stretch towards the sun, so cool.

I can't wait for summer to start!
