Finally got the new Snickerdoodle flavored Blue Diamonds almonds.

They are decently good. They have a little bit of flavor, just not real strong of a flavor. Good enough to taste the Snickerdoodle.

We've always called it the 'Mighty Murray.' But in recent years, our most iconic river has struggled to live up to the legend. In fact, it had slowed to a feeble trickle, sucked dry by years of drought and the demands of those who rely on its bounty. Then it rained. And rained. And, rained some more. The clouds that delivered such devastating floods to much of Queensland and Victoria, had one spectacular silver lining. The entire Murray-Darling river system has come roaring back to life.

The #horticultural foodbowl of the lower Murray has for decades been known for its vineyards, citrus and stonefruit orchards, but a global price shift has seen a new crop dominate the landscape, with big implications for #Australia 's most precious commodity — water.
#Almonds have become the largest crop grown in the lower #Murray, with more than 45,000 hectares planted. Almonds are more #water intensive than other horticultural crops traditionally grown in the area and require 12.5 million litres of water per hectare.
The Almond Board of Australia is calling on #NSW and #SA to follow #Victoria 's lead and impose a moratorium on new horticultural developments in the lower Murray. #DriestcontinentonEarth #driestcontinent
