April 9

We ate dinner outside (and it was not warm) so I was in a hurry to get back inside. So I came into the family room, set up shop under a blanket, turned on the A's game, and wasted some time on my laptop. And then there was a thunk.

The thunk of a baseball hitting the wooden deck, as it does when Isaac and Brady are playing catch in the yard. 

So I got up and looked outside, and watched for a few moments as they gathered up the balls (ball pick!) and re-set for more to-and-fro tosses. 

It's just another Spring evening in my earthly paradise, and I am thankful for the sights (and the thunks).
