I was gifted a few used kitchen cabinets from my younger brother. I painted them, and they are now installed in my utility room. They now have a new life.

Spring Snow? ~ Tidbits
My daffodils and hyacinths are now buried in snow. It was just in the 70's yesterday and raining. Not today. The high will be barely in the 40's.

Windy Weekend ~ Layered Dip ~ Goat Gone Wild
Saturday the weather was so nice, but a bit windy. In reality, the wind was a good thing - drying up the wet ground. Sunday was windy and in the upper 70's. Tuesday we will dip down to a high of 40°F. Today is is raining and everything is wet again. The weather is playing games with my allergies, but I am dealing with it.

Another Arrival
The elderberry plants arrived and are planted. They came with a guarantee, so if they do not survive over one year, we get free replacements. As you can see, these are small starters, but can turn into 10 foot shrubs (or taller) with good care.

Heinz ~ False Claims? ~ Books
If you haven't heard, Heinz is being put under the microscope for claims they say could be false. They claim their vinegar is "all natural" but sources state that Heinz has been using GMO corn to make it. This is probably old news by the time I post this.
