Grasshoppers..what do you know. So, what's the story about him...myth or man? Are you going to share the recipe just in case it's a bad year for grasshoppers here in the South? They're actually bad every year...flying in my face eating everything in sight! But so far there's not been so many as to make the sky dark so I guess I'll be okay but just in case I would post the recipe if I were you. Happy St. Urho's Day....belated!

Must have been in Menahga. I guess. Or maybe there are more than one of those around. Urho always gives me a giggle, but saving crops was no laughing matter, so I apologize. Have fun at the parade. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-73646191229968592292012-03-16T09:10:42.100-05:002012-03-16T09:10:42.100-05:00Well doggies, I got this funky message when I hit ...Well doggies, I got this funky message when I hit publish so pardon me if this goes through twice.<br /><br />Looks like ya have the perfect day for a parade.<br /><br />I do remember ya had a heck of an ice storm that prevented ya from goin' last year.<br /><br />I sooo look forward to seein' all the beautiful pictures ya take this year sweetie.<br /><br />God bless and have a grand time this weekend!!!!Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10175389676508928061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-26349015198154297742012-03-16T07:48:22.724-05:002012-03-16T07:48:22.724-05:00A beautiful day for a parade, enjoy.A beautiful day for a parade, enjoy.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-17860798999692490122012-03-16T07:30:49.200-05:002012-03-16T07:30:49.200-05:00I remember learning about St. Urho from you last y...I remember learning about St. Urho from you last year.
