one little trick that JuJu and I always do with our coppers is put amonia on them. They clean up nice especially the wheaties! If you have a grocery store near you ask for amonia and try it! It's amazing!

Congrats on your first copper of 2010. I hope there are many more to come.

I hope to get out in the next week or so. Lots of rain here so hopefully the ground will soften up a bit?

It's been a long winter !!!!
