Our Son With His Dad

Five years and counting, of being a most caring, funny, strong,

tender and loving father to Jose.

Happy Father's Day Daddio!

And to add even more to a celebration - a photo collection "video"!

Happy Father's Day Larry!

Music by Santana, "Foo Foo".

Last Day of Little League 2010 Season

Today

April 17th

Today was the last game for the Yankees - 5yr olds - and the score - both teams won! Again!

For those reading who are NOT Yankees fans, just a disclaimer that the teams are assigned randomly within each age group (there were also Red Sox and Pirates, etc.). So, relax!

I have been photographing the games A LOT!

I put together three games into a video clip - 9 minutes long! Fast forward at will. Jose loves watching this, so that makes me happy.

If this doesn't buffer fast enough as you are playing it or if you can't play it at all, I don't know what to do . . . I could make a shorter video or you could upgrade your computer and/or connection. Joking!! Snarky remarks I know, but hey, I'm writing to myself anyways, right? Snark.

Really though, PLEASE, if you got onto this blog and have read anything and smiled or enjoyed it or even gotten annoyed, then PLEASE sign on as a follower (you may be my first!) It doesn't hurt really - I mean you, family and you too, friends. Then you can comment and even snark back. I hope the former is pleasant or interesting, and the latter, quippy or interesting at least.

This will be my one and only begging post.

Love to you all!

So here is T-Ball with Jose:

Music by John Mayer, "Bigger Than My Body" & "Clarity".

Yes, Jose switched to left handed throwing, stayed right batting, half-way through season (we're still figuring it out). And yes, I wrote "Thansk" in the credits. Such quick excitement!

Spring Gardens

It has been a beautiful spring in the gardens this year. So many plants are maturing beyond what I imagined (and outgrowing some spaces already). Transitions between tulips, lilac, iris, peonies, roses, astilbe, lavender, hosta and others have been nonstop with color and fragrance.

With some hard work early on, and still clipping and weeding, we are making the most of these blessings; and enjoying the beauty since April.

Come away and see:



Thanks for the song Nora Jones, "Come Away With Me".
