The beginning

For years I have told myself that I was going to feed my family better, work out more, get healthy. You know, all the New Years Resolutions we have the best intentions of following, then life gets in the way. I decided 2010 was going to be my year...I have started slow, but picking up speed. One of my major goals was to have a garden come spring. We have lived in our house for 15 years and I have threatened to have a garden every year. There is only one spot, on the side of the house, that I could plant. Well, it was full of weeds, the neighbors fence is about to fall down and I just didn't see the point (in case it fell on my garden). So, I could not get excited about it again. And that bothered me. Fortunately, on face book, I was reacquainted with one of my friends from high school. She and her family are avid gardeners, enter their produce in the fair and have a blog (see blogs I follow. You will love their blog). Seeing what she did, with her family, how much joy they had in their garden, well I felt that stirring of excitement for a garden once again. Thanks Sue! What am I doing here, with this blog? I have no idea! What do I know about blogging or gardening? Well, I guess, I am going to learn both! And so the journey begins.....
