Spring Time,,,,Bring It On!!!!

So, finally the weather is getting warmer, the rain has stopped for 2 days straight and early plantings in my veggie garden are starting to take off.  I thought this time would never arrive.  I have been drooling over other's blogs and gardening sites, wishing I had something to post or pictures to put up worth viewing.  Finally it seems that this weekend I may get all of my other seeds and veggies in the ground and can then take some photos:)
  
I have a renewed zest for the outdoors now that the winter chill has finally left my bones.  I can't get enough of my favorite blogs and can't stop dreaming of the day when I get to dedicate my days to raising farm animals, cooking, baking, planting and harvesting.  The country girl in my soul is itching to get out, and I mean itching like a really bad rash kind of itch.
 
After spending the past 3 months doing a pretty hardcore cleansing of my diet and weening myself off of foods I have no business eating, I am incorporating some of the better foods back into my diet slowly so I can be aware of the foods that trigger my stomach issues. My goal now is to eat only non-processed foods.  Cooking all my food that we eat at home from scratch so that I know everything that goes into it.  This weekend will finish up the 7 days that I have had my Sourdough Starter brewing, and I can't wait to bake a loaf of Sourdough Bread on Sunday with my starter.  I am going to allow myself some of the wonderful "treats" in the food world, as long as I know I have made them with the freshest, most pure ingredients I can get my hands on.  My motto is life is too short not to have dessert, so I will make it the cleanest dessert I can as far as the ingredients that go into it and not have an ounce of guilt over eating it:)
  
Okay, well, I have much more to say but not the time to say it right now.  But this weekend I will post again with alot of pictures of how the veggie garden progressed over the weekend.  But for now, this is what it looks like.

First Strawberry.


First little broccoli heads.




Romaine Lettuce doing pretty well.
