Baseball 2013

Calvin caught the first game.  They won, but had gotten behind before their time limit was up.  So instead of batting to finish the last inning, they go back to the score at the end of the last completed inning.  In this case it gave them a win.  (Against the Jefferson 13 team)

Leading off.

Team meeting before the second game.  (It was COLD.)  Even Calvin had extra shirts on by the end of the second game which they lost.  (Against Ames)

One Year Ago

One year ago our fruit trees were blossoming, but than we received a freeze and apple crops and others were almost all lost.  This year cold and snow, but supposed to warm up the end of this week.  Maybe our trees can get back on schedule!

Sunday Mar 10

Time to get busy.  I've been getting flack about not blogging!  Didn't know anyone would miss it..  I have been on Instagram when the Granddaughters have been posting and kind of let this go.  (Even goofier stuff on there.)  Here is Jerry's golf cart, updated for spring.  It's snowing right now and spring is looking farther away than it did yesterday.

# 28 Light

After a few days of gloom we have some sun, though it's cold.  This was taken from our kitchen window this morning.  It is cloudy bright to sunny today.  Only 9 degrees at 11:40 a.m.

# 27 Morning

This is what morning brought today.  Our .2 inch of rain, produced a very slick morning.  Pop backed out to go to coffee about 7:00 and pulled back into the garage.  We spent the a.m. taking it easy and watching a few cars turn completely sideways when they tried to stop at the stop sign north of us.   It is now noon and melting.  We haven't gone back out to check it out though.  We still see some ice.

# 26 Where I Live

This was taken before our January thaw.  We still have snow, but part of the lawn is bare.  That will probably change.  Freezing rain is in the forecast.

# 25 Black & White

Black & White can be striking but-

Isn't this better?  Then again - maybe not!
