Eat Your Vegetables

Today we woke up to a cold dreary day...Brrr.  The high was 30 degrees.  I could have just hibernated under the covers, but my husband and I decided that we needed to walk.  We found another walk to do in May.  This time it is a 10k.  So, as much as I hated to step outdoors I had to get to the indoor track. The track was empty today as my husband and I were the only ones on it.  Perhaps everyone else was hibernating as snow flurries kept falling all day. Thank goodness the indoor track was warm.  I'm still missing Texas as my body has gone into shock from the cold.

Despite the cold weather, my husband is glad I'm back home to cook.  He missed my home cooked meals and has said over and over how much he missed me or was it the food.  Since  I grew up eating a lot of vegetables they are my favorite things to eat.  My grandmother and mother taught me how to season vegetables, so they taste good.  I think I have eaten just about every vegetable known to man.  One of our favorites is roasted fresh asparagus.  A baking tray for the asparagus to lay on, olive oil drizzled over them, seasoned with salt and pepper and in the oven for 20 minutes and yummy.  They are easy to make and quite tasty.  I think Laney likes me being home also, because she likes the fact I slip her healthy treats too.  Maybe my new adventure will be teaching my husband how to cook.

Maybe I'll take another trip as it always feels good to know that I was missed.  Laney is resting her head on the keyboard as I try to write.  She has been next to me since I returned, and so has my husband since we were reunited.   Remember to tell your loved ones everyday how much you love them.  Ah, Life is beautiful!!
