More Vegetables

Ok... so I am getting a little weird. Stress does things to people. Let's just say I am overdoing it in the garden. Pruning away frustration. Accomplishing something. Gardening calms me... the sunlight, the physical exertion, and the occasional chat with neighbors passing by - it all makes me feel better. I should do it more often. I need all the endorphins I can get, these days. And laughter. And home-grown tomatoes... Haha!....


Which reminds me of this video --- for some reason I find it irresistibly funny... Vegetables run amok... (this is in Italian,...and, I have absolutely NO idea what they are saying - [probably better that I don't] - just cracks me up! - every time!)






HUH???....


Just be warned that this song is gonna stick in your head, and you will be hearing "pa pa pa" long after those quirky veggies have stopped dancing... heheheh...

Eggplant...and other stuff....

Lots going on in my life these days... (it is not all good stuff, either...grumble...) - But this blog is going to remain an upbeat place. To cheer myself up today, I spent a bit of time in the garden. Lots to harvest these days! Grilled eggplant and peppers almost every night - haha! Finally getting tired of it, but they are soooo pretty!

Turn on the sound, on your computer, and play the song I added below! (it took me forever to figure this out, adding music to this blog post... ♪♫♪...gave my brain cells a real workout, and provided me with a much needed distraction)... Yay! - it works!!
