I am enjoying the learning curve of the blog and knowing that there are many out there who are so savvy as to make me look like a kindergartner. No worries. I do not feel intimidated. I am not inferior. I am able to compete with the best and find the answers according to my own abilities. Other times I ask a young adult - a 20 something. They usually know!







Another picture to delight those who are gardeners or aspiring to be so: I make my raised beds out of used stuff! The spuds are surrounded by odd bits of particle board that will last about 2 or 3 years. This other garden is made of half bits of bricks. It measures about 4' by 3'. There are three kale in the middle and six gladioli which are in front and behind the kale. A compost used to stand there and that made the soil underneath nice and yummy.
I aim to lose about 20 pounds - a stone plus for the Brits out there, - (who may, by now, be using grams and kilos??!) before the Africa trip (August), so I am eating less and exercising MORE. Simple plan. Ask me in a week or two!
