hoo boy, do I owe you pictures

of that vigorously blooming prairie, baseball players, wetland restoration projects and other fun stuff.  But I'm busy with Olympic viewing, 3 busy boys, the grand finale of the baseball season and keeping the pantry stocked.  Life is overwhelmingly full right now, but here are some highlights:

*  Watching Mr. G crush a triple during his baseball tournament AND snag a fly ball in the outfield.  I'm totally bragging here, but I can't help it.  My boy can play.
*  Running with Mr. T, who is a natural.  He pushes me now.  I've no hope of keeping up with his stride.
*  The neighbor lady bringing back "extras" from the baking she entered in the county fair.
*  A pool full of kids, a yard full of kids, a house full of kids.
*  A party with the other baseball families from Mr. G's tournament team--just a great group of people, we're awfully lucky to count them as friends.  They're great sports, full of good humor, generous, kind, thoughtful and cheer everybody on.
*  Just the best group of coaches--for all the boys this summer.  Each one of them taught my sons something, each one of them was encouraging, supportive and taught good sportsmanship.  And Mr. G was particularly blessed with all of his coaches having a great sense of FUN during practices and games.
*  All the extra ways people pitch in to make a parish festival run well--from grooming diamonds to painting faces to selling 50/50 tickets.  Don't tell the Republicans, but community organizing is healthy in Happyland, Wisconsin!  They got volunteers out in force on many fronts for the weekend.
*  Oh!  Those Olympics!
*  3 boys wanting to know how to do "those strokes" and practicing together in the pool.
*  The first tomato from our garden.
*  Rain.

Spill it, reader--share the goodness in your life.
