Still around....

I'm still around.  Just a LOT of stuff to do garden-wise and everything else.  Bike week just ended, and we went.  In fact, we took our youngest to Bike week - first ride with her Momma and first bike week.  She rode with a good friend of ours and we had a blast dancing together. She was so happy and we lived through the heat we had.  Yesterday we didn't do a thing around here besides recover from heat and fatigue. We hit our highest record for heat yesterday too.  I think it was 96°F.  We deserved to go to bike week, although much garden work needs done yet, and mow, weed etc.  

I hope to be back with another post.

Stinging Nettle Smoothie and other Tidbits

Yesterday I enjoyed a nettle smoothie.  I used blueberries and bananas for the fruit, some homemade yogurt, ice, and organic pomegranate juice.  Nettles are loaded with vitamin A and C, calcium, potassium, iron and a bit of protein.  Very low in calories too.

I'm trying to get as many weeds put up before the farmers start spraying too.
