Rhododendron Buds …

The Rhododendron bushes are in a bit of a sad state. Several branches are dead or dying but then there are these crazy buds that are growing.

elsewhere around the house we have the seeds that are in the raised bed starting to sprout and some are going crazy like the zucchini. The only one not doing anything is the cayenne peppers. I think we may even begin harvesting the zucchini in the next month or so. I will have to get a cage around the thing to prevent the squirrels from getting into the garden.

On the Virta front things are going very well. My blood sugars have remained stable since I began the journey. No crazy spikes or anything. I do think that I will have to vary up my meal choices so that I do not get bored with this. I’ll try the recipes but probably not the cream cheese pancakes again. It tasted like eggs with cinnamon. Which, essentially, it was. But I am finding good alternatives to everything. It makes sense and it is working.

Fun Teacher Shirt …

Allisons Shirt

Allison and her class had a field trip today and she made this shirt for the event. I guess the teacher in the classroom made shirts for all the kids and since Allison has her own cricut she made a shirt for herself. The kids went down to the Fire Department and got a tour today. They had a really fun time.
