The University of Tennessee won the College World Series Monday night in Omaha, Nebraska; hit a lot of homeruns! Had a heck of a big orange parade in Knoxville yesterday.

We settled for the orange parade along the woodline.

Last time TN was in finals of College World Series was 1951, and that time they lost to Oklahoma. Soooo, they were after it, like Otis wanting a pig's ear.

And when they WON, they paraded downtown Knoxville with the trophy in their mouth.

Garden producing, been sharing the bounty.

Starting to get a little dry, have a chance of rain tonight; the sunflowers, zinnias, and marigolds are starting to bloom; Rain would make em POP!

Have a great summer!

    Thanks Delilah, we've had ample rain up until the last two weeks; got a chance tonight, but if it doesn't, yeah, I'll get the sprinkler going EARLY in the morning.

    It was a heck of a world series; TN comeback against Florida St. very memorable, down three runs going into the bottom of ninth, two outs, and got FOUR hits in a row; I mean, a fly ball, an easy grounder, a called strike three and the game would have been over. I'm happy for the Vols, been awhile since they won a national championship, that was back in 2009 in women's indoor track, heck, hadn't EVER won it in baseball.
