... You Know ....

... there comes a time when life relaxes a bit.  Not often, but once in a while.  Of late, all things on the home front seem to be in a rhythm.  The Mr. is set with his retirement routine (much to my delight), he helps out around the home taking care of some of my former duties.

Our garden is snow free.  We've been in the gulf stream generated by the pineapple express bringing much warmer temps than normal.  While I don't boast much about this deviation from our normal winter weather since much of the country is below and beyond freezing, it has been a nice break for our area.  This is the time of year I usually drag out my mini greenhouse and start planting garden seeds.

Nathan is doing so well on the GAPS diet .. having been on it for about three months now.  Moodiness 95% vanished as well as a host of inflammation problems with his skin.  He no longer craves carbs, shoulders have gotten more muscular and broad, less and less night time accidents, and NO MORE EXCESS OBNOXIOUS GAS!

God is good!
