yesterday was c's day off and we ran errands and hit up our favorite thrift stores in algona called 'ex-op and the 'country peddler'.  all the water in the rivers and lakes is completely thawed!  i bought some strawberries and blueberry to grow out on the sunporch as sun and mild temps are fast becoming reality. and the two top images are our purchases for yesterday from the 'peddler' and 'ex-op'.
