Welcome to the Community Garden

Hey Everyone....look what I got....grape vine....just got to get it started a little first.

Thanks Lena for your contribution to the garden.

I will try to do it proud and hope it grows like those tree posts to one day look like these......

In further news there is a donation of $50 coming from the Angels of Cape May... I must start thinking about what the garden needs.....Big thanks to all of you!

I downloaded and checked out some information on gardening in the tropics. It is a bit different here. From what I can tell there are 2 growing seasons grow the same things but also things that also grow in one or the other. I have a few things that are settled and ready for transplanting to the garden in October when the rains come.

Check back to volunteer when rainy season approaches.

Week 2: Monday-Thursday

Day 5: NO spending day. It was a quiet Monday. Day 6: I spent approx $6.00 to fill a prescription. I should probably update you on another goal I had for this year. I have been trying to make it to the gym twice a week since January. It doesn't seem like a big goal but some weeks it is tough. Truthfully I haven't made it even once in the last two weeks but I got back on track today with a bootcamp class at the YMCA I go to. Although I am not noticing much difference in my weight or how I look I have noticed a substantial difference in how I feel......GREAT! I am also hoping it will translate into an improved softball season. I may never be in the shape I was at 20 again but I can certainly try and be closer than I am now. Today was also lunch date day.....my coworker brought pulled pork sandwiches with carrot stick and cherry tomatoes. She also made chocolate peanut butter squares....ummm delicious. I will have to get that ...

Read and read again!

Energy Healing: The Essentials of Self Care This one resonated with me. I could hardly put it down and that is unusual for me with a book in this genre. It all started for me on page 10 with a great composite view of different energy anatomies that had been explained in the preceding pages. For me, it really brought together the Chinese medicine, Thai massage, chakras and aura system in relation to each other. The healing stories through opening our connections to the energy fields of the universe were motivating and interesting to read. The first exercise I tried was the first one in the book "toe tapping". It's a pretty simple exercise so following the instructions was easy. I only kept it up for about a week but I believe I did start to feel benefits. I like to meditate and I am always looking for new ideas. This book provided. I still want to try the metta meditation and many of the other meditations that are throughout the book. I still have a numb...

Another Week

Monday Today I spent $5.21 on ingredients for the lunch I am making for my Tuesday lunch date. A few weeks ago I made roasted cauliflower with brown butter and linguine. I did not enjoy it at all and would not make it again.....but I turned the left over roasted cauliflower into soup and froze it. It is absolutely delicious, I had a bowl for lunch today. Tuesday I bought a cup of tea for $1.77. I made an asparagus goat cheese toss for my lunch date today.....wow yummy.. I found the recipe on the Canadian Living website. I will definitely make that again and it was so easy to make. Wednesday NO spending day! What I did do is finish the third book in The Hunger Games trilogy. That means I read all three books since last Saturday. It is a great series even for an adult. I could hardly put it down. Now I need to find something else to read. Any suggestions? Thursday I got gas and took out $20 in cash....so $40 tota...
