East Texas Memorial Day Weekend

The campgrounds at the state park are full this weekend. A sign at the entrance declares "No vacancies without a reservation." We came upon this truck when we were walking through the Big Pine camping loop. Maybe it epitomizes the East Texas zeitgeist?


We've had a cute fledgling hopping around outside around our picnic table. Mom and dad have been keeping tabs on their errant offspring. We guess it fell out of its nest a bit prematurely during a recent storm. This afternoon it finally managed to get up in our tree--not by flying, but by fluttering its wings and climbing the bark. We hope it will be okay. It's certainly got spirit. At one point it hopped up our steps and seemed to be trying to get in the door where I was standing.
