I know it's still early

but I was just on the baseball organization's website and happened to notice that they rank the teams in the minor league. I'm so not used to there being winners and losers and everything, so that surprised me. Apparently they even have playoffs. Which I suppose is cool, except that means we could be playing baseball into July. Ugh.

Anywho, I haven't yet updated about our most recent games. I mentioned the first game here, the second game we had to miss due to an Orchestra concert (our team won), the third game was rained out and is rescheduled, and the fourth game was this past weekend. Saturday's game was a great one. Malcolm's team ended up winning 18 to 9. That's phenomenal. Malcolm's first time at bat, he had a great, really solid hit which would have been a double, except that the second baseman on the other team happened to make a terrific catch. As disappointing as that was, it is hard to begrudge this other kid such a nice catch. His second at bat was a single and one runner scored, plus he stole 2nd and 3rd during subsequent batters. His last at bat was a strikeout. Bummer, but still, he had 1 rbi, 1 run scored and 2 steals. Not a bad game. The next game is this Thursday.

So back to my story. I was on the organization's website tonight and saw that they have rankings. Guess who's team is currently ranked #1??? I know! Pretty cool, right? We're the only team that is 3-0 so far. Of course the season is still young, but it's still pretty exciting!
Go Pirates.

How does your garden grow?

Lincoln and the two girls from across the street are planting for me. They've taken seeds that we saved from a melon and planted them, then theys tarted planting the grapes that were their snack. Very clever children, they're splitting the grapes open figuring that the "seed" inside it will grow better if it's open. I don't have the heart to tell them that I only buy seedless grapes.

At least the peach pits that have been buried in the yard in years past will have company.
