Spring Training

North Hampton from Plaice Cove--Obadiah Youngblood
Rejoice Coastal New Hampshire dwellers!  No, pitchers and catchers have not yet reported for Spring training in Florida or Arizona, but the next best thing has happened: The Coastal New England baseball league has just sent out an email for the first indoor practice of the year. We may be shoveling snow now,  but we have packed our gloves and balls and helmets into the back of the car and we will soon be throwing and swinging in batting cages.

 What is it about baseball that can open old eyes, worn by icy winds and summon up dreams and memories behind those weathered lids?

    Great artwork by Mr. Youngblood, both here and on the other blog-what medium is it? Love the local scenes...

    Maud,

    Acrylic on canvas. It's not van Gogh or even Hopper, but it's local and has color.
