Did someone say FREE DOUGHNUTS? This morning I headed over to Krispy Kreme in full pirate costume, walked in the door and shouted, “Ahoy, Matey” and the crazy people over at Krispy Kreme gave me 1 dozen FREE Doughnuts! Why?

This year my goal is to grow 2,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables. I think I can do it.
