Sure Sign of Spring

Neither tulip nor daffodil not bluebells on my windowsill Not the longer days nor the sun’s warm rays Neither puddles to splash in nor love's urgent passion Not the baby carriages or April marriages ... But the roar of the crowd The crack of the bat O’er the land of the free Baseball’s back!

Enjoyed this muchly, GW. I’ve always felt that hitting that speeding ball with that narrow stick can only be achieved if the force is with you. I couldn’t do it… mind you, I couldn’t hit a barn door with a football. Roll on spring, but I’ll stick with fishing ;-)

Today in Chicago felt like Spring. 52 degrees officially, but about 65 degrees in the sun at midday.

Good one, Gershon. My son-in-law played baseball in high school and spring means golf and baseball season to him, lol! He used to play in a softball league, but he's 45 now and has the aches of aging so he quit a while back. My late husband and I went to a few baseball games at the Asheville minor league park. They're named the "Asheville Tourists." Blessings and Shalom

Either the frustrating Phillies, the cuddly Cubbies, ... or how about those woe-begone White Sox?!

Ha ha that helps in moving forward Gershon. Nothing like baseball to bring the spirits up. Hope you enjoy the season...
