I have a BIG bowl of popcorn for dinner at least once a week, sometimes twice. Yellow popcorn, hot air popped, NOTHING on it. I am a popcorn purist. I like popped corn.
Oh, man... I don't want to give up my popcorn dinners...:fl
I wish I could say that I knew for sure that this coming Saturday would be a good grilling day. And, it might be difficult to cook for 7 people on the grill.
It might be. It might not be.
I might be cooking something else inside.
This week is all about cleaning up the house. We have friends coming over Saturday, so that's the kick in the butt we need to do a spring cleaning.
Yeah, it needs it.
BER had been a problem for several years, and the summer before last, it was BAD! I was cutting off the bottom half of nearly every tomato. If I hadn't had so many tomatoes, I would have had to buy a half bushel for enough to can.

Hi from a Michigander (a troll)! :frow Hubby and I have been to Copper Harbor several times. What a beautiful area.
("Troll" in this case means someone who lives below the bridge, ie, in the lower peninsula.)
You guys are SO far ahead of us! We have daffodils in bloom. That's it. No flowering trees yet.
Technically, maples and "the tree down the road that drops catkin-like thingies" are flowering, but not the "pretty" flowers like cherry, apple, and redbud. Those are a few weeks away.
