I like to buy several new perennial flowers every spring and fall to add to our garden.  I figure that way, over a period of time, we will have acquired a gorgeous garden without creating a hardship to our budget.

I also enjoy looking through the catalogs that come in the mail all of the time, they help me to plan what I might like to buy – they give a lot of helpful information about what types of plants do well in our area, and which plants are deer resistant (which is important.)  The local nurseries are opening for the season, I am looking forward to going there and picking through their selections, buying a few plants and bringing them home!

I must be hungry, I’ve got food on my mind today!  Our family LOVES mashed potatoes.  I HATE to peel potatoes!  In fact, I have carpal tunnel syndrome, and peeling veggies aggravates it, and ten minutes of peeling turns into three weeks of agony, so I just don’t do it anymore.  Well, no one else in the family would DREAM of peeling veggies, so when we have mashed potatoes we resort to the “instant” boxed flakes (which isn’t too terrible) but recently we discovered the Bob Evans brand of ready-to-heat-and-eat mashed potatoes in a tub.  They are FANTASTIC!  They are reasonably priced, and one tub feeds three people with decent portions.
