Friday's Fave Five, 6-25-2021

LINK to Friday's Fave Five host blog

1.  An arrowhead.  Mike found this beautiful arrowhead while walking at our farm yesterday.  It's beautiful white quartz, and is a first for our finds there. 


2. This view from our farm (not our horses - they belong to the neighbor) makes my heart happy.


3. A morning spent helping Mike cut brush!!  We have a vehicle for getting down in the woods but the brush needed to be trimmed first.  So yours truly turned into a brush cutter.  Not in my usual playbook but I tried to help!

4. A new recipe.  I've made this several times and love it.  It's low carb/good carb and is delicious.  The prosciutto does not need to be added, and I used shredded parmesan from a bag, instead of the "pecorino romano" which is a bit too sophisticated for me!  But it was very good and nice to add to the repertoire.




5. A good report yesterday at the doctor's office - blood pressure in normal ranges and an A1C of 6.4!  That was a surprise because I have been a little more "generous" in carb choices in the last few months.  But I suspect that swearing completely off sugared drinks/juices, potatoes, pasta, rice, and any bread except rye is keeping things in check.

Happy summer weekend!!

She Knows How to Use a Computer!!



So this sweet little seven-month-old got up from her nap during our book club meeting this morning and sat on my lap.  She loved that I was using my computer with the e-book on it, and she started banging on the keyboard - opening up several programs and hopefully not deleting anything!  (She knew what she was doing!)  So when this ended up on the screen, I had to take a screenshot.
