    LOL.. as much as I miss the winter even I don't want that to happen anymore.. my grass seed is sprouting up and turkey hunting is in full swing!

    Susan..will you be posting a pic of the bottles from each batch side by side to see the colour changes over the season? Always look forward to seeing those.
