Spring Training

Target Field, Minneapolis, 2011

It’s barely March and my thoughts are already turning to spring.

A mild winter has made the longing even worse. When it is 60 degrees one naturally thinks that it will soon be shirtsleeve weather. We’re at least two months away from doing any planting and three months away from the real warm stuff. I’ll just put up a picture of an outdoor baseball game: looking at the “boys of summer” in action is always a good way to escape the winter doldrums.
