Yes, it's true. As you can see in the header picture, we've replaced our carpet. That's the thing about owning a business, and I suppose that it wouldn't matter if you are big or small: there's always updating to do. We've now got a rustic wood look going on, and we're excited to try it out in upcoming days. A big thanks to
Packard Carpet, our neighbors, who were willing to work when we were closed to get it done.
This was a busy week. Despite the sunshine today, we had a rain day on Wednesday, and yesterday was little Caroline's birthday. Happy birthday to my sweet girl! We baked carrot cake cupcakes together per her request, and she dressed up fancy and wore a birthday tiara to school. We'll keep celebrating as the weekend goes on.
Our coffee of the week is our Fair Trade Organic Peru. I know that we've featured this a number of times before, but it's always good to remember old favorites. As the camp song goes, "make new friends but keep the old, one is silver but the other is gold." This is a gold coffee, and always enjoyed around here.
This coffee comes from small family farms, in the Amazonas region of northwestern Peru. When you look on
Google Maps, satellite view, this is an entirely green mountainous area. This is high grown coffee, where the valleys are over a mile high, and it goes up from there.
Trace roasted this coffee light, and it we enjoyed it at home this morning. It tastes of nuts and chocolate, and it's easy to drink, especially if you stayed up late last night celebrating the birthday girl. Fair Trade Organic Peru will get you going in the morning--I can verify that.
You can try a cup of Peru on us with the code
morning brew this week. We're going to try to find some snow this weekend, per little Caroline's request. She is missing winter. Perhaps a north slope will be our friend? May you have a splendid weekend, whatever you are celebrating, and drink good coffee. Oh and happy pi day tomorrow!
