Harvest Yummies
It finally stopped raining here long enough for us to get into the garden and start reaping some of our bounty. The radishes look so yummy. We are planning on having them and the fresh onions later today as a snack. I also love them in a nice lettuce salad. Although our planted lettuce isContinue reading “Harvest Yummies”
Garden Firsts
My dear husband and I both love the garden. I love the planting and harvesting, he loves the work in between. This makes for a perfect team. This year, we started some of our plants indoors. This was a first for both of us. The biggest issue we had was it was too cold toContinue reading “Garden Firsts”
What Earth Day Means to Me
Everyone has different views about Earth Day. Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s, Earth day used to mean “hippies”.

Earlier this week, when I got home from work – Larry surprisedContinue reading “Early Garden Time — Finally”

From my own experience, I am most successful when I follow a few key things. I am in no way a health professional and myContinue reading “Losing Weight My Way”
What’s for Dinner Sweetie?
How often do you hear “what’s for dinner sweetie”? Over the last few months, we have begun meal planning. We were looking for a way to save on our grocery bill, as it seemed like were spending a lot on groceries and not really getting much bang for our buck. Not only do we alwaysContinue reading “What’s for Dinner Sweetie?”
Spring Break!!!
Thank goodness it is finally Spring Break time. Many of you are leaving the awful weather of the north and going to warmer climates. Recently, we travelled to Florida from the mid-west. Although we wanted to have as much fun as possible, we really didn’t want to break the bank. We decided to be adventurousContinue reading “Spring Break!!!”
