Where Have I Been???

Can you tell, the good weather has arrived? I’m out in the greenhouse as much as possible. I just about have all of the “winter” cleanup done and then it’s time to start planting things for outside pots. I actually put a blooming geranium outside last night and today my hummingbird started to fly around the patio. He comes back about this time every year. So much fun to watch him, I just wish that I had something really good in bloom, for him. I think it’s a him, he’s very shiny and bright green. Anyway, I haven’t been reading very much, nor am I particularly interested, too much fun outside. Also, I needed to finish the quilt for granddaughter #5. It’s done, except for her name. She’s to be here on the 30th.

Making my own yogurt is the “new” activity. I bought a 1 quart yogurt maker and have made two batches of my own. Don’t know if this was a good idea or not. The jury is still out on this one. It is kind of interesting and since I don’t eat yogurt, as is, but put it in smoothies, the different consistency is just fine. I still drain the whey and use it in various “dishes”. We’re still on our “diet” and still feeling good!...except we fell off the wagon over Easter and both of us paid for it. MDH was quite miserable for a couple of days. He didn’t even whimper when I told him NO! on Monday when he wanted a food that is OK when we’re feeling good but not OK when we’re not. We’re both feeling so much better since getting sugar and grains out of our diet. It’s amazing the difference no sugar, yeast, and grains can make. What a change!

Granddaughters #1 & #4 were her for a visit yesterday. They went to the back yard with their buckets and shovels and in no time they were playing in the mud and water. They were so happy. Our daughter said it reminded her of her brother and herself many years ago, in the same area. Kids are the same the world around when it comes to mud and water, I think! It was a lovely afternoon. Wish we had taken some pictures. Oh well, another time.

As you can tell, I’m busy and still being health minded. I just haven’t taken the time to delve into a particular health subject. As usual…

Healthy Days to You…You’re Smiling Maven
