A Pinch of Joy

Eat Healthy, Do it Yourself, Live Well, Have Fun.

Busy Monday 378

It’s been almost four years since we packed our belongings in Ohio in a neighborhood with zillions of old trees.  We moved 1000 miles to the Great Plains to a  new subdivision surrounded by corn fields with a few tiny trees here and there. The newest house, finished last year, is setting the best example and with a high bar.  It sports TEN new trees!   We added a gorgeous red leafed crab and a miniature Japanese willow in the back and are planning to put in two city approved trees in front this fall.  Sometimes we get so wrapped up in everyday life that we forget what simple things make it better.  A tree is essential — look at it to enjoy its ever changing beauty, spend time enjoying the shade, breathe cleaner air, notice the birds flitting in and out, mute traffic noise and so much more.  Plant a tree — any size!  Thanks for coming by to plant your great ideas, superb recipes and awesome projects.

    Your inlinkz code was not complete. (I cheated and grabbed the url and added my links.) LOL. Thank you for hosting. This week I served up: On Tuesday is a healthy Philadelphia Creamy Salsa Dip. Wednesday is my Cream Cheese Pepper Dip and ending up Appetizer week with another dip on Friday I am serving a Seven Layer Taco Dip.

      OH MY GOODNESS!! I’m going back to copy and paste school! (And stop using the “copy” button on Inlinkz — actually do a copy and paste!) Thanks for your patience. (And knowing how to make up for my failings!)
