Has Spring Sprung?

Posted in Cooking, Food, Gardening, Homemade, Liqueur, Party, Recipes, Recycling, Weather by Nate on March 2nd, 2008

We are just 18 days away from the first official day of Spring, the Spring Equinox happening on March 20th this year. In many parts of the country it seems the veil of Winter has been lifted already and we’re beginning to thaw out. Is it just a teaser or has Spring really sprung?

If you happen to live in a warm part of the country, you might already be planning your first Spring garden party. If so, how would you like to make a nifty drink dispenser that not only tastes good but can be composted when you’re done?! Check out Elizabeth’s Drunken Watermelon on Tap for the super idea and instructions on how to put it together. I guarantee this one will be a crowd pleaser at your next outdoor get-together. If you don’t want to make the beverage alcoholic you can of course substitute it with another beverage. Watermelon punch, lemonade or iced tea anyone?
