Friday Ramblings
Last nights Penguin game was pretty disappointing with the Penguins losing to Philadelphia 4 to 2. Philadelphia jumped out to a 3 to 0 start and even though the Penguins battled back it was not enough to beat Philadelphia for the sweep. I know the Penguins will win at home on Sunday, the game starts at 3 p.m.
A friend of mine started some sunflower seeds this week and dropped two plants off for my garden. Beth planted them last night between the raspberry bush and the new blackberry bush. The sunflowers should grow to be about 12 feet tall!
The strawberries all have blossoms and some even have tiny strawberries. I noticed a few volunteer tomato plants starting to poke through, it looks like the garden is going to do well this year.
I plan on putting in some sweet peppers this year instead of my usual hot peppers. The last few years the peppers have been too hot to eat, so I thought I would go in a different direction. I like to have the peppers stuffed with sausage then covered with sauce and cheese. Eating fresh from the garden is always better than the supermarket.

I was out with Nala on Monday in the rain .... no umbrella just a trash bag on my laptray. Saying the same thing....hurry up and go potty. She could care less about bad weather, labs love water.

PNC Park has winning attitude with its above-and-beyond accommodations of those with disabilities
This morning's Pittsburgh post-Gazette has a nice article regarding the accessibility of PNC Park for individuals with disabilities. It also goes on to establish that accessibility also includes attitudes, not just physical barriers. On May 24 PNC Park will sponsor a disability awareness night, way to go Pirates!
