Take Me Out to the Ballgame...

Thursday evening, Charles and I headed to Autozone Park. The Iowa Cubs were in town to take on the Memphis Redbirds. We arrived a little early and took in warm-ups...The weather was perfect - Spring warm but with a little breeze - for the first pitch...Our seats were perfect! We were seated on the first row behind the Cubs' dugout and right to the side of it, so we were able to lean up and peer right in at the players...Our seats were great for taking in all the action...Unfortunately, it started misting and then raining a little harder which is when I whipped out my umbrella. After just a few minutes under the umbrella, we decided to give up our seats and move to the concourse to watch a little more of the game...

Unfortunately, the Cubs weren't playing their best baseball, so once the rains let up a little, we headed on home...Even though the game's outcome was not what we had hoped and we had to deal with a little rain, we had a really fun time!

Apparently, it was a beautiful day yesterday, although I was couped up in a continuing legal education class, so I missed out on it. The rains moved back in last night and have been here to stay all day. While the rain has put our weekend yard projects on hold, it should be really good for our newly planted plants, including our dogwood which is blooming so prettily right now!
