play ball!

It's that time of year again. Time to play ball, eat hot dogs, drink a cold beer and watch (or listen) as the Cardinals start their march to capture the NL Pennant and the World Series. Yes, Albert is ready for the season but the question is, are you? Well Roots is ready and if you need a little push, you might want to try spicing up your garden or planters with "redbird" stakes. Made of wood and hand painted (no two are alike) you can stick one in a potted plant on your porch or deck and you'll be amazed at how that wonderful "Cardinal" red draws your eye. To round out your theme (no pun intended) add a basket of old baseballs and softballs near your planter. You might just find yourself grabbing one and heading out to the backyard for a game of catch with the kids.
