Welcome to my Blog

I am happily married with two children. We live in lower Alabama and love the outdoors. I am trying to devote this blog to talk about my experiences and life in the country. I am diabetic, so I have been learning how to eat for optimal health, garden for fresh veggies, diet, get more activity into my life, pretty much living off the land and just be more healthy overall. I've been gardening since 2008, so each year is more and more welcoming! I also enjoy photography, fashion, makeup, racquetball, music, research, learning new things, motivation, fun, water, simple things in life, health and happiness!

My garden


Ok, so I've decided that gardening is good for me. It's getting me back to my roots! First of all, I love the sunshine, I'm getting Vitamin D, as well as a good tan. It's a good way to increase family bonding and a fun way to exercise. Gardening is an overall way to increase anyone's quality of life.
I think I've become addicted to the outdoors. Watering is a must....If you know me, then you will know I tend to kill every plant that I've ever tried to grow...unless it only needs sunshine and little maintenance. Well, believe it or not I finally grew a green thumb! Although after shelling peas almost every day I had a stained purple thumb..lol.

I started with a few planter boxes, which I now have 11 of them all over the back yard. Two of which have a trellis to hold up the climbing vegetables.
starting my seed flats

I'll have more pics up later as soon as I upload them!
