Gardening season is upon us.......and not a moment too soon. With the price of food in the stores who can not afford to plant a garden? Even if it is small one. To get started I always start my own seeds, but you can easily buy plants already started at Lowe's or Walmart for hardly much money. I do most of my gardening in raised beds that my husband built. Some are of wood and then we have some spectacular ones made of rock. They make gardening so easy plus they are very attractive and everyone...

I am making some adjustments to my plan. One is that I am going to be stricter on my condiments and especially my salad dressings. I used to make my own dressings and plan on getting back to doing that again. They are way better anyway.

I am thinking that maybe I am eating too...

Today was a wonderful day for me. First off, I had gone shopping the other day and now I have my food in the house. That is most important for me. I haven't had a problem with eating other foods or even wanting to. But if I don't have anything to eat then I might just have to eat something else.

The other thing is that our weather is FINALLY warming up. So this morning it was pretty nice out. My husband was outside in the barn cleaning the stall and I surprised him by coming out....
