Great Day

 

Morning grass is glistening. 

Stars are sparkling. 

It's a window-scraper morning. 

And, oh, what a beautiful morning for all who love nature's artistry AND for all who love the ZAGS!

What a show, and what a win!  

Gonzaga's men delivered on both last night, taking on the Alabama Crimson Tide in what the commentators dubbed a "heavyweight match."

And, that it was, as neither team showed signs of submission from start to finish.  Even 10 points behind near the buzzer, the Crimson Tide were still giving it their all. 

In my mind, it was one of the most beautiful ZAGS victories ever with its athleticism and its artistry. 

It's a great time to be a ZAGS fan, and may the season continue to bring joy to the players, coaches and ZAGnation! 

The lawn is white with frost this morning, but this was how it looked yesterday after I said "The End" to leaf pick up, removed the bags from the mower and drove it to the barn where it will remain for the winter with the other two mowers. 

It felt somewhat symbolic as I shut the barn door and said good bye to another season of going round and round, constantly grooming the lawn. 

I love mowing lawn but will be content to wait a while before starting another season. 

Besides, that time could eventually be filled up with shoveling snow.   So far, no snow, and I'm not complaining as long as the mountains get what they need. 

Walking around the entire farm admiring the beauty without heavy boots on weighting down my old feet feels just fine, thank you.  

Bill and I are excited for Willie on this morning of the day when he and his SHS boys varsity basketball team do a soft start to their season. 

Tonight they'll be working out some kinks by scrimmaging in a jamboree featuring two other North Idaho teams. 

At 5:45 p.m. this afternoon, the Bulldogs take on Lake City at Les Rogers Gym.  These games feature two 8-minute quarters.  

Later, after Lake City and Post Falls play each other in the same venue at 6:30 p.m., the Sandpoint will tip off against Post Falls at 7:15 p.m.

The Bulldogs play in their home and season opener this coming Saturday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. when they host Bonners Ferry. 

I'm sure the home team would love to see hometown fans show up and fill the gym for any and all of these games. 

Good luck to Willie, his staff and the Sandpoint Bulldogs.  May it be a great season for all. 

We can look forward to another ZAGS game tonight for this Thanksgiving  college basketball Feast Week.

Tonight at 6:30 p.m. PST the ZAGS take on the Terra Pins from Maryland. 

The game will be telecast on truTV.

GO, ZAGS!🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
