Game of summer

I went out to the park to watch a little softball, but they weren't playing when I was there.  So, I went over to the baseball field and watched a little practice.

Chandlers Landing

God bless Texas

Angry skies

I think we were being watched last night on the Sail with Scott boat ride on Lake Ray Hubbard. 

Skywatch Friday

Better than the alternative

I was going to post a picture from the MRI on my knee, but I decided against it.  Instead you get a picture of the car and license plate I want.  If you want to see one of the MRI pictures its posted on my sports blog, http://i4sports.wordpress.com/

Past Our Prime turns back the clock

Last night Past Our Prime won the men's portion of the Tuesday night softball league. 

MRI day

I'm getting an MRI on my knee today. I'm not sure what to expect, the MRI won't make my knee quit hurting.

Rodeo action

Saturday night at the Wills Point Rodeo.

Another day of rain-Skywatch Friday

More rain last night, this time during the coed softball games. But nobody is complaining.  I snapped this with my iPhone while waiting for dinner.  What looks like a glare on the left is actually from the sun.  There were three spots, very strange.   Check out more Skywatch Friday sites here.

Rain moves out, big clouds roll in

July rain

The weather has been cooler this week and we have gotten the occasional rain shower. It's been a nice break from the normal July dry weather and heat.

Ham Orchards

Saturday was the first chance to get out to Hams this year.  They have really expanded the store and pavilion area. Ham Orchards is open Monday-Saturday 9-5 through August 15th. Closed on Sunday.

The peach ice cream is my favorite, but you have to drive out and check out the other goodies they have to offer.

If you are coming from Dallas head out US 80 through Terrell about 3 miles.

On your mark, get set......wait.

The 5K runners lined up for the start of the Too Hot To Handle race yesterday morning.  The weather was unseasonably nice.  Low 70s, overcast, with a few sprinkles.  Over 2500 runners ran in the 5K and 15K races.  Noticed the guy in the St. Louis jersey, Cardinals fans are everywhere!

Too Hot to Handle

This morning is the 5K/15K Too Hot to Handle race at Norbuck Park.

Wasps

Job for the day, kill the wasps.

Skywatch Friday-Afternoon storm clouds

An afternoon storm rolled through yesterday.  It was just enough to cancel all of the local outdoor sporting events.  Check out more skies at Skywatch Friday.

A new view

Tuesday evening sunset

Books and Crannies

I think its been a while since I posted a picture of the front of Books and Crannies in the old Iris Theater building.

Winfrey Point view of Dallas

Saturday morning was the Dallas Running Clubs Independence Day 5K/10K with the start and finish at Winfrey Point. This is the view of downtown Dallas from the top of the hill taken with my iPhone. 

July 14th is the 5K/15K Too Hot to Handle at Norbuck Park, and ran along White Rock Lake. I've signed up for the 15K.
