We've had a few beautiful springy days this week. The mountains of snow left from winter and last week's thunder snow storm are rapidly shrinking. Have even been treated to some glimpses of green lawns in the southern parts of TIMESland.

Grandma always said peas had to be plated on Good Friday, and guess what? There is actually some thawed bare ground were peas could be ...

I enjoy many parts of the Peshtigo Times but one of my favorites has become Jerry Harpt's travel column.

And through his column, he takes us along with him. This morning, as I read his column from April 3, he ruined my breakfast, for which I do thank him.
