(Friday, April 29 4:00ish) Well it's that time of year again, rip season. At gymnastics around this time of year all of the younger kids start to get "rips" as we call them. A rip happens when someone develops a blister and has it popped from the bottom. Sometimes they take some extra skin with them (as shown).
No one really knows why, but some guess are: the humidity makes you sweat moisturizing your hands, making them softer and easier to rip, it's the end of the season everyone's hands are beat up, and your working on new skills which your hands aren't used to. This is a major sign of spring for me because the rips just start coming at the same time every year.
My second sign of spring is that our tree is shedding.
Around this time each year the trees in front yard start dropping branches left and right. My dad picked up all the branches right before this picture was taken just to show you how fast they're falling.
