Avacado Love ...

The avacados in the back yard are almost ready. I know they are high in fat but it is unsaturated fat, the good heart healthy kind. I've collected over 80 beautiful avacado recipes on pintrest while I've been waiting for the avacados to mature, it takes months and months you know. This is only the third year the tree has had fruit, last year stormy weather early in the season knocked most of them off of the tree when they were still very small. This year ... we have a bumper crop.
I love Hass avacados from California, really I do. Chipotle uses Hass in their guacomoli and to me there is not many things much better than that. But ... the Florida Avacado is huge, it is bright green with shiney skin and is sooooo good with a little salt and pepper. With all these avcados on the way I did double check the health benifits mostly to see how much is to much of a good thing, I was delighted to find that 1/2 a avacado daily would not be to much. I also read ...
"Avacados are a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins C,K, folate, and B6. Half an avocado has 160 calories, 15 grams of heart-healthy unsaturated fat, and only 2 grams saturated fat. One globe contains more than one-third daily value of vitamin C, and more than half the day’s requirements of vitamin K". (source - Web MD). I'm going to print one of these photos (with Pogo) to go in my planner, I would like to make it a goal to take a photo a day with my Nikon this month.

 

September When It Comes ...

Wow ... I'm not a huge "Country Music Fan" but I was deeply touched by this video this week while preparing for September to come. Maybe it's because I turned 50 a couple months ago and the aging process is on my mind, I'm not sure but I was compelled to I look it up again this morning and thought I would share now that September 2012 has come.

 

 

100 Things About Me #63 - I Live In South Florida And Hurricanes Are Common Place

Issac is passing through right now, Lucky for us it is only topical storm conditions for us.  At our house we  hunkered down for the day, no one left the house at all and we managed to stay really busy... I was hoping for a little Art Journaling time and didn't slow down enough until now. Maybe I will allow myself a beautiful hour or two now to work in my journal. These are some of the recent things I've been working on.

                                                                                                                                    

100 Things About Me # 62 .... I Don't Always Make Frequent Blog Updates.

Just stopping by to see who's still around ... looks like a few of you are still here, and it looks like others have been away as long as I have.
The photo below is of my two Granddaughters, they moved home from Atlanta in December with their Mommy. Actually Marleia, the little one was not born yet but she is here now and together they keep us really busy.

I've been thinking a bit about blogging again, being away for a while has been a good thing maybe starting from scratch can spark a new creative outlet for me. Today, I just wanted to see if I could figure out how to post a photo and create a new post with all of the changes that have taken place.

For now ... Peace & Love

100 Things About Me #60 ... I've Known Unrequited Love

Okay Maybe unrequited is not the right word, but I know what it's like to love someone very deeply and to realize that I'm not being loved back the adequate amount. I know he loves me ... and he does do his awkward best it's just not enough for me, never will be. He does not know how to love the way I need to be loved.
