Mowing and Baseball

I got the string trimmer out this morning and made it clear around the house and part of the shop before the battery ran down.  Then I got the mower out and did the lawn and all the trails in the woods.

This azalea that my mom gave us is really doing great the last couple of years.

While I was taking the pictures I discover lots of Easter Lilies still in bloom in the shadier spot in the woods.

  Mark Morris had a game today, so I left early enough so I could have my choice of seats.  I was going to stop and get something to eat before the game, only to discover my billfold was at home!  Luckily we keep spare change in the car so I found enough for a milkshake and fries.  When I got there they were still preparing the field.  One of the coaches was dragging the field with the little 3 wheel ATV and it ran out of gas.  James, Levi and one other kid ended up pushing it back to the storage area.

James played first the whole game.  Things started out bad when the first pitcher walked a bunch of batters.  They were down 4 to 0 after the first inning.  James made an unassisted double play in one of the early innings, he caught a hit and stepped on first before the runner could get back.

MM just did not have any pitching today, the score got worse and worse.  James hit this pitch to drive in the only run MM got today.  It was sure a beautiful day, almost warm enough for shorts.
