Giveaway Winner - BIG Spinach + Das Boot

The winner of my giveaway was Cindy from the blog
CONSIDER IT ALL JOY

Thanks to everyone who participated.

We have had the greatest harvest of spinach recently!

Our youngest daughter is a big time gardener and had extra startings
she gave us this year - and wow did it ever take off!

The spinach really took a shine to our big vegetable garden.

(I call it the "Back 40" as they do down at the Ranch in Gunsmoke.)

    

You really cannot tell how large these spinach leaves are
but to give you an idea:
this sink is extra large and extra deep

and it is plumb full of spinach!   

I just grabbed one of the medium leaves fast and had a yogurt*

I was about to eat and sat it down on the leaf so you could see

how huge each leaf was!

*Which, incidentally is my all-time favorite brand of yogurt.

It's all natural and mmmmmm good. Try it!

And no I am not compensated, just opinionated.

I had such high hopes to actually doing foodie post showing

my delicious chicken and spinach dish I made a little later that day

but, well, you know I never remember the foodie stuff.

We cook, eat, clean up - business done.

Then I recall my intentions and get that "Ah crap" moment

 when one says to oneself

"I get an A for sincerity and and an epic fail for foodie pics.

For those who didn't know, I am not wearing one of those

really ugly Big Black Boot things due to some small stress fractures

in my foot, advanced tendonitis and arthritis for the cherry on top.

I started my physical therapy for it yesterday;

3x a week for a month, then we'll see how it's healing up.

I've been trying to weed around the garden in this thing-
not getting good at maneuvering yet - yikes.

(Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down!)

I am not happy about any of this, but want to float gracefully

down the aisle in August when our youngest daughter 

gets married - so praying for fast healing.

Just got word my sister's health needs some prayer-
for her privacy I won't delve details 
but it is becoming much more serious.

Also my sister's sister-in-law is in ICU and needs prayer.


So - a giveaway winner, some huge spinach
 and some prayer requests is what I am all about today.


What fun weekend plans do you all have coming up?
Whatever you do, may you enjoy peace and safety!


As always, thank you for your visit!
