As my father-in-law commented, “The kids helped? That means you had to do it twice.” I had to be burning some calories, right? My weight loss story has never been a straightforward one. My metabolism looks at all the dieting lore and says; “Calories in/calories out? Ha! I’ll show you!” My metabolism and I need to “have a little chat”.

The Lazy Garden  ‘07 

What better time for a garden update? The compost has been spread, and the garden is starting to show signs of life. We have eaten lots of lettuces, potatoes, garlic, and radishes over the last week. I have a few artichokes ready to harvest in time for the 4th of July.

I realize that this week’s labor cannot be considered “lazy” per se, but from here on out the Lazy Garden will live up to its name.  I’ll water and watch it grow.
