Blue skies and organic lollipops

Yet another overdue post from me! Recently i have been doing lots and lots of homework. I have finished 3 classes; Theology, Macroeconomics, and Philosophy. I am still taking English, but i'm halfway through! Yippee! This week i am doing a juice fast or in other word a detox. Other than craving sugar, it is going well so far.

I am so thankful for the beautiful weather we have been having lately! The blue sky, green grass, warm sunshine. If only i had somewhere to lay down and let the sun kiss my face while i read a book, ahh that would be very nice indeed. But not here in apartments. Nope, i have a little wood deck, that bee's love, and everyone can see me. I am planning on a little patio garden though. I am going to plant tomatoes, lettuce, basil, parsley, and dandelion. Yup, im going to plant dandelions on purpose. Why? Only cause they are the most nutritious greens, and flowers that are free! Plus in the fall i can take the roots, dry them, and make a tea with them for a great detox tea (or alternative to coffee!). Amazing huh? I love how God gives us the "medicine" we need right in our backyards! About 90% of "weeds" and grass in a typical backyard are edible. I love how God provides for us.

Well i will leave you all with a smoothie recipe i just had this morning. It was awesome!
