Beautiful flower shots, Pat! We have had such a mild winter that there are actully some flowers sprouting up in my garden! The blizzard we are having today will change all of that!

Weather is keeping me inside most of the day today ...


What's REALLY in that commercially pre-mixed pepper container? by Denise Trocio, on Flickr
The container says black pepper, spices (?), dextrose, sugar, red & green sweet peppers, dehydrated onion flakes ...hmmm, interesting! I love how they can just state "spices". Isn't the point of listing ingredients to tell you EVERYTHING that is in it ...what spices might I ask?
