Great photo Alex, especially like the tone of the photo, like the old sepia. My Gary wears a hat just like that in the garden. The holes in the top let it breath.

It takes time and gets a little better as time goes by. I actually have a raised bed vegetable garden this year. Been dreaming of some flowers but none so far except the wild ones. (more...)

Things are improving every single day. This morning we went to the plant sale in Ithaca. Almost 100 plant vendors under a bright sunny sky, no rain anywhere... perfect. We bought plants knowing full well that this summer, unlike the last 2 years, we could actually take care of them! Big steps for sure. So we loaded up on annuals and veggies. I cant wait to have tomatoes again!! By the time they are ready, my new tubular stomach will be too. I cant wait! (more...)

Dude! It's a whole new ballgame, hopefully with a grand slam in the 9th. If you lose the weight to get to the next place you need to be ... it's all worth it.

I can attest to reprogramming your brain to look at smaller portions and your gut saying ... okay brain I AM full. It's difficult enough to make a meal last 15 minutes ... never mind 30-45. That takes patients and fortitude!

Sounds like you're getting the knack of it though. I'm very happy for you Alex! You go boi! : ) (more...)
