Uncooperative Weather

Well, its snowing again...and we are suppossed to be having practice! Really, the last week (and this coming week) the weather has turned really cold as we are trying to start practices, but it at least didn't snow for a couple days so we could get the field ready! We only have one more school visit, and its this Tuesday, then we have our camp for new players this weekend, if the weather gets a little better... :) Sounds like a lot of people all over are experiencing, less than spring, conditions, so I know we have a little sympathy! Last Friday, we spent the day working on fields as we are putting up a bunch of new fence and working to rototill the softball field. It ended up being super windy, in fact the night before I didn't sleep very well from the wind because it was so loud and crazy! We were able to get a lot done, it was just cold and we were being blown all over the place...Saturday was even colder but thankfully the wind cut out and we had 20ish people show up to help! A bunch of players showed up to help put up the fencing on the posts we put up Friday, and also put up the batting cage nets and other small things that need to be done for the season, but it was cold enough that I was super happy to help feed the burn pile, partially for the warmth, and partially because fire is strangely entertaining... :) I am thankful that today was off because I was super sore the last few days, especially from mixing cement and moving it around. I was sore enough that I couldn't pick up a chair and move it cuz my forearms were so sore...oh well, I survived and was even able to get a little march madness!
On that note, how about them Ducks! Both games were early enough (if getting done at 2 am is early) that I was able to watch them, and see the Ducks dominate! Sadly, I picked Gonzaga to win it all so my bracket is about as usefull as used toilet paper...
Anyway, thanks for the prayers! Please pray for the team as we get ready for camp this weekend! Its exciting having the potential for a lot of new kids to join the club, but we need prayer that we are able to be excited and have fun despite the cold. Its not supposed to get above 45 (which is COLD for baseball) till saturday, so pray for patience for us!
