Let us Celebrate!

It’s Spring and Cinco de Mayo!  A perfect combination of celebrations.  Cinco de Mayo is a celebration created by Mexicans living in America in the late 1800s. Celebrated in America, but not much south of the border, it is in memory of the victory of a small Mexican army over a 3 times as large French colonial force.

We are approaching the March weather, which means rain, snow, sleet, warm one day, freezing the next and spring sun trying to chase away the winter gloom. You never know! That’s why we’re rooting (Hay Ray!) for those root veggies that give us what we need to get through the weather craziness.

Power into Spring

JUICE WITH JAZZ! Here's Some Ways to Chill on Hot Summer Days

Some liquids actually help you stay cooler than others. Soda and packaged juices are loaded with sugar that your body does not need. Apple juice has as much sugar as a regular coke!
