The Morton Umbrella Girl got her start in 1914. The logo was used in  a series of ads in Good Housekeeping. The idea was that Morton Salt – unlike other salt of the day – poured without clumps, even in damp, rainy weather. The company added magnesium carbonate to ensure that its table salt poured freely.

At first, the advertising agency suggested “Even in rainy weather, it flows freely” as the company’s motto. Morton, however,  felt that was too long, and the motto was changed to the catchier “When it Rains it Pours.”

It’s been a stormy Sunday this afternoon with lots of flash flood warnings.  However, the sun is breaking through the clouds and the sky is that beautiful bluebird blue that only a thunderstorm can bring.  Spring in Arkansas is always beautiful.

End-of-the-year activities at school keep me really busy.   That means leftovers and easy meals.

Monday:  We’ll be having soup that will be this week’s Crock Pot Wednesday feature.  Come back and join me for that.

Tuesday:  Doe’s tamales and chili from the freezer, cheese dip and chips.

Wednesday:  Dance and date night.  We look forward to this little mid-week adventure.

Thursday:  Fish tacos with avocado and Pickled Red Onion, pico de gallo, chipotle slaw and lime.

Friday: Off to see the babies for the weekend.

I hope all of your showers are bringing tons of May flowers.  Have a great week.
