it's growing season

Well, I once again am trying to grow tomatoes.  My DH has given up, since we don't agree on how many we should plant and how far from the house they belong.  Can any of you relate?  I am doing it my way this year.  He did convince me to plant too many so now I have a mess of tangled tomato vines, but they are growng and I am watching them regularly.  My Grandma would never have a garden because according to her," I had to do that growin' up and I'll never do it again."  I wonder what she would think of me now.  If they grow who wants a taste of a good tomato sandwich.   If you have any good recipes let me know.

Simple Changes

When I read how basic lifestyles were in the past I'm envious.  Today we have too much going on, running errands,  keeping up with news, cooking and cleaning for the home and family.  Oh, wait, that's sounds like then.  Why does it seem too much now?  I think we make things too complicated by not planning or thinking ahead.  I was so excited today when I actually didn't change my menu, just because I didn't have my usual ingredients.  I had planned spaghetti thinking I had my jar of sauce.  No I have never made it from scratch, seemed too complicated.  So get ready because ....... enter my essential oils.  I had fire roasted tomatoes,garlic, onion, oregano oil, basil oil, salt and pepper.  BAM!!!  Hubby is not a fan of tomato dishes, but he liked it.  It got a "pretty good" instead of the "it's allright" so once again the oils have it. 

If you would like to know more about these precious oils just let me know.  I love to share how amazing they are.
