I love Fall, it is my favorite season and it doesn't hurt that my birthday is in the Fall.
The garden is always happier when Fall arrives too.
Roberta watching over me in the garden.
My zinnias are no show flowers, they flop over and are kind of scraggly but I still love them!
This canna is in a pot that I inherited from my mom when they moved. I've never had this one and I think it is so pretty.
This picture cracks me up. Lucy and Berta just staring at me in the morning.
Probably wanting my breakfast.
Welcoming Fall and cooler weather is an easy change. I won't miss too much about Summer, though I did embrace it this year more than ever before. The harder changes that we are making have to do with our diet and lifestyle. I am on the right track with exercise and it is making me feel better overall. Frank has had a cold and hasn't been able to join me yet. I always struggle with meal planning, shopping and finding time to get dinner on the table. I love to cook, but working at a grocery store with odd and ever changing hours has messed it all up for me.
Frank was diagnosed with high blood pressure this week, so now I'm on a mission to change our diets. I have gotten some really great resources from my facebook friends and just started delving into them. I will put together a list and add them to my blog links as well. Last night we made broiled Salmon and carrots with Kale salad. All easy, delicious and heart healthy. I need more meals like that in my repertoire!
If you have any suggestions for lowering blood pressure naturally or websites that you visit for healthy eating and living please do share.
Happy Fall!
xoxo

Have you guys watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead or Forks over Knives? Both are streaming on Netflix. They really helped me and my husband out last year. We both were borderline high blood pressure and I'm sure borderline type 2 diabetes for years. They're great documentaries and are very inspiring. Especially the fat, sick one. Check em out.
Jen, I started Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead but haven't watched the whole thing. I fell like something has switched in my brain because I really do want to run and am bummed when I miss a day or especially more than one!
