SOFT
BALL!

After 8 games on the schedule, we've had our first loss due to lack of players.  We've actually only played three games because of rainouts and bys.

SCHEDULE
and the team's record.
Look what I found on my camera when I unloaded photos last time.  Uh, I don't REMEMBER giving the boys permission to take my camera tubing.... or should I say bedding???
In just a few weeks' time, my juniper bush in the flower garden went from beautiful green to "dead brown."  When Ethan pulled it out, the ugly brown was gone, but a big empty spot was left.  The unanimous decision was to move the fountain from its lonely corner to a more central part of the garden.  Now, just to get some greenery around it, but that will have to wait until fall.

then vacuuming would be play

How oft' to the mountaintop
My soul desires to go,
Where Your sun is shining softly,
And Your cool breezes blow.
Up there I see Your handiwork;
And naught obscures my view.
And in the beauty of it all
I feel so near to You.
But so oft' to the valley dark
My soul You've gently led
Where the shadows fall so deeply
I can't see what lies ahead.
I know not where to place my foot;
I know not where to stand.
By faith alone I take each step
While clinging to Your hand.
I feel no sun, no gentle breeze;
No mighty work perceive,
By faith I trust Your leading hand -
In spite of all, believe.
I yearn now for that mountaintop
Yet realize it is true,
That it is in the valley dark
I learn best to trust You.
