Our weather is finally warming up and it's happening just in time for the start of the spring sports seasons. Soccer, baseball and softball fields around the area are packed these days. It's a good thing.

For the last few years, I've been out there watching my kids on the diamond. Boy does time fly. It seems like yesterday when my daughter first stepped out onto a baseball diamond. This year marks her 5th year playing ball. She's now transitioned into playing competitive softball! My son is entering year two of his baseball career! It really is a joy to watch both of them participating in games I love to play!

Baseball really is the right of summer and I know why my kids enjoy playing. I remember playing ball when I was a kid. Back then, I didn't jump into the mini-van to get to practice or wait with baited breath for treats to be handed out at the end of the game. Back in the day, going to be play baseball was all about riding your bike to practice and games and the "treat" was playing ball with your friends.

Hope you have a great sports season, whatever you play.

Post you later!
