Spring

Spring is a busy time of year.  

Crocuses and daffodils are blooming, trees are budding, grass is growing and 

Osprey are returning to their nests. 

As for me, I'm knee deep in work when I'd rather be knee deep in water.

Or maybe not water, but on the beach at least.  

This time last year I was getting ready to head south to visit with some friends.

I'm anxious to have another relaxing weekend, but it has to wait until April.

I have a new grown up DSLR camera I'm itching to use

and friends I'm itching to see.

Simple Pleasure: Baseball

Nothing says Spring is here like a snowstorm on March 30th watching some baseball.  And there's no place better to take in a game than the Deltaville Ballpark.

The ballpark is a throw back to simpler times. 

The seats are wide wooden boards, the wire that protects the spectators is crabpot wire (won't see that at a professional ballpark) and if you return a foul ball to the concession stand you get 50 cents.

Other reasons to watch a game:

*The hot players (according to Big Sis, OK and me, and, well, CBW too)

*a hot dog, soda and chips costs around $5- try buying a soda for $5 at Camden Yards

*No one is taking steroids, lying about steroids, unknowingly being given steroids... you get the idea.

*It's like going back to the 40's and 50's- a real piece of small town American history.

*the hot players (oh, already said that)

For historical information on the ballpark and The Deltas, check out the post I wrote about them.
