Once
again, I selected a recipe for you that has strawberries (so I don’t have to
make it). I thought the ice cream
would be pink, but it was pretty white with red flecks. It looked so refreshing
that I actually got up and checked my freezer. It was a sad moment when I discovered that there was no ice
cream anywhere. Oh well – there is
always tomorrow and my trip to Walmart.
Random Reflections
I
have discovered a new store. I was in Sandwich picking up dog food today, and
was told to go to Rural King. This is a wonderful store similar to Farm and
Fleet. Because I will be working
on a dairy farm over break, I needed to purchase Muck Boots. Not only did I
find these, but really cute colored Croc-like shoes, and yard ornaments. Did you know that you can buy spices
there for about 79 cents. Holy
Moly – I had a field day. I even found a really cute skirt and biscuits
cutters. Okay, those two didn’t go
together, but I was darn excited about this trip. These boots are not beautiful, but will definitely fit the
bill for a day on the farm.

| Look at the size of these spices that only cost 79 cents! |
 |
| I love these shoes for the garden! Whenever I find baby shoes, I buy them in case I ever get a great niece |
 |
| I love these Muck Boots. They will support my feet when I muck out a stall, or work with the animals. Don't ya just love my new purple pail to collect weeds? |
Helpful Home Hints
Have
you walked around your house lately and inspected the home for winter
damage? I walked the house this
week and noticed one of the gutters had been damaged during the roofing, and it
was made worse when the ice built up in the gutter. The ice forced the gutter further away from the house. I
contacted the roofer, and they are coming back to repair it. I am also in search of the roll-out
that you attach to a downspout. It is a rolled up tube that helps divert water
away from the house. In my case, I need to divert the water into the yard. The
water is rushing down the flowerbed and carrying the mulch down the hill. If I
can find this rollup, I will save my flowerbeds from destruction. This is the
time of year where I can’t wait to begin working in the yard. Let the sun shine!
