Today was the San Francisco Giants home opener. We live just a few blocks from the stadium, so I decided to walk over and enjoy the excitement. Admittedly, I'm not a huge sports fan but living so close to the ballpark, I can't help but get caught up in the fever.
I understand that baseball players are often very superstitious. But playing their home opener on Friday the 13th didn't seem to effect our Giants. They won 5-0.




Btw, so very grateful for the weather. It was only in the mid 50s, but look at that sky! Yesterday and the day before were cold, windy and raining. We had quite a thunder and lightning storm last night, too. So if anything, this Friday the 13th ended up being a beautiful day in San Francisco, especially with that Giants win.

"It's a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk. (They) are considered non-permanent, and, unlike other forms of graffiti, can be easily removed if necessary. Nonetheless, the practice is still technically illegal, though it is not often prosecuted vigorously. While other forms of graffiti may be expressive, decorative, territorial, socio-political commentary, advertising or vandalism, yarn bombing was initially almost exclusively about reclaiming and personalizing sterile or cold public places. It has since developed with groups graffiti knitting and crocheting worldwide, each with their own agendas and public graffiti knitting projects being run."
Kinda fun, yes?

I really like the yarn bombs - I wish it would catch on over here instead of all the defacing of buildings with spray paint. McCovey Cove looks a great place to visit - congrats to the San Francisco Giants.
I would call that a tree hugger, Mad, and would hope they could get away with it! :)
