This is what some of my flowers looked like before the winds and rain. Fond memories!We went out early yesterday with Oneco friends and had to drive through torrential rains right across Ekonk Hill. After an excellent supper and a return to their home for a night cap we arrived in Moosup and my beautiful pots of summer color were strewn about the yard! We must have had some wild winds and rain. The garden grew a couple on inches overnight! We spent this afternoon watching American Legion Baseball at the highschool fields off of Shepherd Hill. The field they play on is very well kept but poor Moosup was mauled by New London 13 -1. It ended after 7 innings because of the mercy rule! New London was hitting the Moosup pitcher and his coach didn't relieve him until the damage had been done. The second pitcher kept New London from scoring any more but the Moosup batters struck out or hit pop ups. It was still fun to watch and we'll be going again. You can sit on a hill in the shade and have an excellent view of the field from behind home plate. We were going to go to the flying field after supper tonight but monster winds have come up, the temperature has dropped 10 degrees and I had to re-rescue my plants! So we'll be home for the evening. The sun is out right now and the sky to the West is blue but the Northern skies are cloudy.
