Random confession

When I get to travel in the car by myself I roll the windows down and turn the radio up. I listen to Bob FM (you can listen here http://www.1035bobfm.com/listenlive/) they play random songs out of order and it is wonderful. I sing at the top of my lungs and I even use erratic hand movements, I reach out to the crowd (cars) ahead me, and sometimes I nod my head excitedly.

For instance yesterday I ran some errands alone and I was excited to hear the following songs in no particular order

Every Rose Has It's Thorns by Poison

YOU REALLY GOT ME by Van Halen

So if you see me in the car alone, I am the crazy lady singing poorly, rocking out to all the wonderful music in all the wrong ways. Yeah, I know I am not cool, and I am not making a statement through music. The fact that I know most of the lyrics makes me happy, and so does singing along as a bad back up singer. You know the drunk one (I am not drunk even if I look like it) that can't quite remember all the moves or the words.


I hope that you have a wonderful day filled with favorite music, Love and Laughter. Be well my friends.

Window

This is half of one of my living room windows. This one is next to my desk.

 I love that I have roses by the fence and Jasmine next to the window.

When the flowers are in bloom it smells wonderful.

I hope your week is filled with love and laughter. Be well friends.

Something you wore

That's right a zombie T-Shirt that I bought for my husband for Halloween a few years ago and now I wear it to sleep in. It is soft and comfortable.

I hope that your day is filled with surprises, Love and Laughter. Be well my friends.

Confession

Remember how I told you that my first confession was coming? Well it happened. For me it was one of the most traumatic things I have ever had to do. I cried (you know that ugly snotty cry) and I shook uncontrollably. Basically I was close to a nervous breakdown. Believe it or not I am not really a big crier, yeah I tear up when I was those you tube videos of solders surprising their love ones. So this was a total mess, me I was the mess. I had to face a lot of my own fears and go against my nature. I went alone (not a big deal I like solitary time. What mother doesn't) here I was sitting in a group of people. I just get really nervous around people I do not know. Then I had to walk over the the priest face to face and talk about my sins. When you are an abused kid (at least I did), you learn not to talk about it, to hide the bad things. I confessed the biggest thing on my heart and mind and then panicked an confessed to not so detrimental sins like over indulging in wine and gossip. The priest had to tell me to calm down twice. I am so sure that I did everything completely wrong.

It was traumatic and hard but when I got up to talk to the priest I felt like God put his hand on my shoulder and walked with me. So I know in my heart that he knows I did everything I could personally do and that he knew my struggle and my strength. I know that I was forgiven.

I only hope that confession gets easier.

I hope that your day is bright with hope, Love and Laughter. Be well my friends.

UP

Looking up next to my window.

A tour of Greens

Today is all about the edible greens that we are growing. This is only a small amount of lettuce.

This is the lettuce that I pictured above next to some yummy radishes.

Perpetual spinach, which is related to Chard not spinach. I still use it as if it were spinach.

Arugula. I love the spicy leaves.

Swiss Chard.

My favorite Kale. The bugs are out. I found a caterpillar on one of my leaves. So we will have to watch for the invasion. We put the caterpillars in the compost pile or we kill them. No chemicals are used in our garden because our kids eat them as they pick the leaves.

Mustard greens. These are very spicy in a weird mustard way. I love them in soup or in a small amount in a salad to add just a hint of flavor. I do not know how my kids or husband just eats these huge leaves straight.

This is all in a different bed. Swiss Chard, Kale, Mustard and Arugula.

This is a picture of all of our garden beds so far. There are three of them here. We are planning on expanding this soon.

Arugula flowers are a delicate wonderful addition to salads and well just to pick and eat.

I know it was supposed to be all about the greens but look at the asparagus. Yum-Yum

I love this bed. It is full of everything good in a salad.

A lot of our good dirt got washed into the yard a month ago and guess what is growing now? Kale.

This is some wonderful kind of lettuce.

Oops! This is not a berry post...

But it was so juicy and sweet! Look at the juice that exploded when I took a bite.

Again colorful lettuce.

Bok Choy

My husband loves Swiss Chard.

So we have a lot of it growing everywhere. 

It is so pretty!

You see what happened is we went to a nursery and they had all of these beautiful greens and they all needed a home. I like the nutty flavor these small leaves have. 

I love the pretty red spots on this lettuce.

More seeds taking root.

This is on the other side of our house where the roses are. This is every thing your have seen so far but they are smaller here.

I love the colors of the Swiss Chard here.  

The bees are happy about Arugula flowers.

I am happy about the bees. Maybe this year we will get melons and squash.

It is looking like this might be a good gardening year. I am looking forward to the coming vegetable season. I still have a couple more posts to go one what is growing in the garden and then I will start over and update the trees. Hopefully they will be dressed up nice and pretty for you by than.

I hope you have a wonderful day filled with interesting salad greens, Love, and Laughter. Be well my friends.
