In every morsel, a story untold,
Of food, the love that makes us whole.
From fertile earth, its bounty flows,
A life that's food, as everyone knows.
When hands embrace with tender care,
And love's own spirit fills the air,
Each herb, each spice, a whispered plea,
To nourish souls, wild and free.
With joyful hearts, the feast we share,
A bond unbreakable, beyond compare.
For in that sharing, spirits soar,
Nourished bodies, forevermore.
So taste the moment, pure and true,
The love in food, for me and you.
A simple truth, profoundly deep,
What we sow in love, our bodies keep.

Blueberry Dreams & Nature's Wisdom! 🫐

For two years, we struggled to plant blueberries at our "Land of Dreams," trying different bushes and vendors, only to be foiled by weather or our forest friends. But on a recent walk, we got the best surprise!

Hidden along our property's wild border, where we'd left 10 feet of natural growth, were beautiful native blueberry bushes, thriving and smiling! They proved we don't need to force nature's hand; just let it be, and good things come to those who wait (and deserve them!). We found delicious berries under the fresh cut grass, and as we cleared more, even more happy blueberries unveiled themselves.

Moral: Don't push too hard to change Mother Nature's course! She knows best. ✨

Providing home care services is incredibly challenging, especially on these hot days. Regardless of whether our work always gets the appreciation it deserves, we must keep going. Remember to stay hydrated, monitor your heart rate, take short breaks to recoup, and stretch between patients. Save your "paperwork" for later in the day when you can tackle it in a cooler spot.

It’s hot out. Forgoing the stove or the oven doesn’t mean missing out on flavor.

Always check your boxes!
I love these toasted pecan cookies as a snack on the road, but what a bummer! Won't return to Acme soon. It tasted different from the very first bite 😠
