Look Mom! No Hands!



This is my new ride. I wanted something a little more eco for around town. I have a basket that I attach to the back for shopping but next year I'm getting a trailer for the back for grocery shopping. As it is now, I can shop for two to three days. Its a Three speed which makes it easy for me and it has front gear with back pedal break. The headlight works and so does the tail light. Now I just need to get my brimmed hat and I am all set to go. (And no Artist and Leo, I don't mean my pointed black hat either. That's for Special Occasions) I'm still looking for where my travel mug for coffee goes. I know there is a cup holder somewhere on this thing. And a relaxing bike ride just isn't the same with out the caffeine to keep the blood flow and energy going. At least I'm leaving the smokes behind.

Down the Garden Path









This is my garden. I am so tickled with it this year because we have already begun to eat out of it. This is not only my garden, it is my sanctuary, my sacred space, and my healing spot. I have since learned that when we garden we absorb minerals from the earth. We need minerals in our system to help control things such as mood swings. Its why the Lithium (a natural salt) helps control the mood swings of Bipolar 1 Disorder albeit, its very toxic. Personally for now, I'll stick with the garden. Its much more rewarding on so many levels.

Icing Sugar Mode

The Groomette's Cake
The Wedding Cake


So as you can tell I have been up to my eyeballs in icing sugar. And all I can say is "Thanks Mom for helping me out before I hit a freak out mode" I was on my way there but it was still in control.

The Bride and Groomette were absolutely lovely and it was the most fun at a wedding I have ever had. And I owe you both such a big thank you. After 11 years of marriage and being with the same guy for 13 years, I found out Hubby could dance. So its off to the ballroom for him now.

We are still in recovery mode. Hopefully the weather will back off with the rain so I can get in some fish pond time. Mind you there is the garden...
