I got a great box from Sandy in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I love getting something via snail mail...anything...but even better when it brings me some great foodie stuff!  Coffee from a local Iowa roaster tops the list. Not only does it taste great (and that's a complement from a self-proclaimed coffee snob), it has the best name: COW TIPPER! That is so cool! The box also contained corn nuts and grape jelly from a nearby 'village' that has a great German heritage. My husband LOVES corn nuts! The last item was a bag of Indiana Popcorn drizzled with chocolate etc. Sandy suggested we enjoy it 'slowly'...as you can imagine that did not happen! lol  The stuff is addictive! So a great big THANKS to Sandy for making my day ...and days because I'll be enjoying that coffee everyday for a while!! Who can resist coffee with such a great name!  This stuff is SO good! Crunchy old-fashioned goodness! Gourmet! That plus a nice note made my day! Th...

It's April 15th and SPRING should be here...right? I don't think it is much different than other years but the expectation is or seems to be higher. A good week of rain has done wonders for the lawns which are much greener than before, tulips and daffodils and irises are showing promise in the flowerbeds. The weeds too are up in numbers too many to contemplate. I am not a big fan of chemicals BUT I found some Round-up in the shed and took a walk around the yard with it. I do hope it won't effect plants that are on their way up! I really need to split a lot of plants this year and perhaps this will unintentionally help. lol  Tomorrow is hubby's 67th birthday. What do you get for someone who needs nothing?? I suggested a Power Hang-Glider ride!! He said he'd think about it! LOL! Doesn't this look like fun?? LOL
