I swear they get faster every year but this might be a new record. I placed my loyalty program order on March 9th and the first day of spring, they arrive! Now if only Mother Nature can get her act together in the Northeast, I might be able to use them before June 1st.

And I don't want to ruin the surprise, but some of you might find even find an even more special present in your box thanking you for your loyalty.

Hats off to the hard working people in the ball plants in snowy Acushnet and Fairhaven!
