Rest relax and recreation Saturday and a new veggie

Today's quote...."House work can't kill you, but why take a chance?"

It is gorgeous today... We've been cutting trees, splitting and stacking wood. Love it!!! Brings back memories of my Dad. I love the smell of cut wood. I would always rather spend time outside with Dad than in the house doing housework with Mom. I would go to the bush with him and in the summer we would cut lawns together. He would use the riding mower and I would use the push. I remember when I was a teenager a male friend of mine said that he thought my dad thought I was a boy because I did a lot more boy work than he did!!!! Whether he did or not I loved my time spent with him.

So your veggie for this week
Carrot
Carrots are a rich source of beta-carotene, a powerful anti-cancer, artery-protecting, immune boosting and infection-fighting antioxidant. Research has shown that a single carrot a day slashed stroke rates in woman by 68%. The high soluble fiber in carrots balances blood cholesterol and promotes regularity. Cooking has shown to make it easier for the body to absorb the beta-carotene.

Get buying and cooking those carrots. Bruce and I like to mash them mixed with turnip and sprinkled with a little nutmeg.
