Bad Weather

A nice photo of a Minnehaha Park fountain that is sprouting foliage:


It's been a while since I wrote anything here. The weather has been bad - rain and cloudy - and it's hard to stay positive when the sun is absent. Tomorrow is predicted to be sunny for at least part of the day, so normalcy may reign (not rain).

There was some tennis last night at Wooddale with Jerry and the hardcore girls. We played two sets but Jerry had to leave early (for another tennis match) and we quit early. It was the first tennis for about a week and I was a little tentative, but we were a tad better and prevailed.

It's time for outdoor tennis to be over. The courts at Marie have been puddled for over a week and wet leaves have added to the decorations. There will be a few nice Saturdays yet, maybe, but the days are short and midweek tennis ball swatting is probably finis.

But. Curling starts next week and the first practice session is Sunday. I'm starting my search for my broom tomorrow.

Interesting effect on the fountain. Will you play any tennis with Jerry and the hardcore girls over the winter, or is that season over? We're all adjusting to the endings of our regular seasons -- and not very happily. At least indoor tennis exists.
