It's that time of year again . . .

It comes earlier and earlier each year, so it seems.

And it lasts nigh about until wintertime -just about forever and takes over our household in ways that defy logic or explanation.

I walked in last evening to hear the sights and sounds that have become UNMISTAKEABLE around my home.



It's amazing how something so simple can change everything about one's life.  It interrupts schedules - sometimes it goes so far as to define the schedule. 

Yes, it's baseball.

And it's coming to a close.

Soon.

Within days.

Of course, it doesn't hurt my feelings that my favorite team is playing in the final series of the year, which makes it, and me, easier to deal with.
