Busy Weekend!

Since it is now early Christmas with not much longer to go, I have been busy finding interesting stuff to write about Christmas. While I am still looking for more gift giving homemade food recipes, I am tired of looking at all those sweets. It is torturing me since I cut out sugar from my life. But my discipline has been excellent. I still have those canned refrigerated cinnamon rolls in the fridge and although I think about them, I have not made any. The recipes are tempting me to make them!

Funny thing about my neighborhood . . . we have traveling chickens and some very vocal roosters. The hens cluck along with their babies. Don't laugh, but I enjoy them very much. They have been around since before Kiki passed away. She would look at me like to say "what is that noise?" When they are traveling through my yard talking to other chickens, I think of Kiki. Missing her like crazy. I'd give anything to have her and The Captain back with me. This house is so empty without them. The cycle of life is maddening at times, yet so wonderful at the same time.

I've got gardening on my mind. That explains why I am starting to post more stuff on Subtropical Gardening. Looking forward to my container gardening. It is awesome to have desires again after none at all. The healing process is entering another grief phase which makes me very happy.

By the way, I am enjoying some new music for me . . . French love songs. Check them out, I love it!
