'Tis the Season

Birds singing...
Bats swinging...
Spring beginning??

I actually felt badly for the birds I heard chirping outside my window this morning. Sure it got up to 68 degrees (allegedly) but apparently they don't have a weather app to see that it is only going to be highs in the 30s the next 3 out of 4 days.

Typical that it would be nice when the Twins played their first game -- on the road -- and will be back to the 30s on Friday when our Assumption Royals take the field -- at home. 

Still, baseball is baseball and it is fun no matter how many layers we wear or how many runs we score. Though I will admit that winning is far more rewarding for those of us snuggled (yet still shivering) under blankets and down jackets for 3 hours.

The nice weather today puts us all in a good mood. That and the fact that the Badgers are playing in the Final Four this weekend. And the fact that our German "son" Lukas will be here in a little over 2 weeks. And the fact that Carter is wrapping up Driver's Ed and has his test scheduled a few days after his birthday.

He has baseball games May 1, 2 and 5 so he had to wait. Baseball = Always the priority.

Still looking forward to some good times at the ball parks. Both hubby's team and mine opened with our arch enemies today and lost. His Reds to the Cardinals, my Twins to the White Sox.

The good news is that the Cubs are already knocked out of playoff contention -- this according to my favorite satirical publication, The Onion. Hahaha. 

Play ball!
