Nice Sunday, and the plants are up!

Yesterday was pretty darn good. We got to Manchester really early, so we didn't have to rush about at the ball park. It's still early days in the baseball world, so it was not crowded-- perfect, really-- and between the blue skies and the warm sun, it was pretty darn awesome to be outside watching a game. And the home team --the Fisher Cats-- won, beating the Yard Goats 7-2. The pitching was not dominant, but did the job. The fielding was really good, and there were some timely hits. A pretty lazy ball game punctuated by a few flurries of activity-- like I said, close to perfect, at least for us. 

On the way home, we stopped off in Lincoln at Gordi's and had a nice impromptu dinner, and the owner (who is a friend) treated us to dessert. We shared a piece of lovely carrot cake-- again, perfect for us. 

I slept pretty soundly last night-- lots of fresh air, sunshine, and a day "off" will do that. It promises to be a very busy week again this week, but the forecast is for warmer, drier weather, and I am looking forward to it. G just went out to check the garden boxes before he left for work, and the peas are up! The lettuce and carrots are up! One warm, sunny day, and we are in business. We dodged a frost last night, barely, so it's good to see that things are okay. The pears are blooming, the plum is blooming, and the apples are ready to burst as well. The cherry trees will be along directly as well... regardless of the dire state of things (ugh, the news), the natural world is doing what it can and must. Maybe we should, too.
