The weeds in the area have been looking so pretty. We had a lot of rainfall earlier in the month and they are blooming wildly. A friend told me that the plant with the small white flowers in the top photo is garlic mustard, an invasive species unfortunately.
Husband M met up with an old friend to see a movie a few weeks ago. They got a chance to catch up on each other's news. Well, this friend had been putting off going to the doctor and the blood test results came back. His A1C reading was 12! He needs to make drastic changes to his diet. His wife makes wonderful desserts and they do enjoy their wine. These will be the hardest adjustments for him to make. It is a wake-up call indeed.
They enjoyed the new Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 movie. It is a box office hit. So there was something good about that day.

Getting old can suck...Especially when you have a partner who can cook/bake so well.
Ingo "messed up".
Your dressing is on hold... He bought mayonnaise, but also pineapple! So we have Toast Hawaii...
Hi Christine i'm inviting you to Sunday Smiles at my Lunchbreak blog
Happy Sunday
HERE
Much💖love
HbA1C of 12 means terribly control of blood sugars really. That is a disaster!
Diet is so important for a good health!
Years ago when husband got high blood sugar disease I started baking only with splenda and now sometimes keto sweeteners, and very little carbs any more too it is for sure a huge adjustment and no going out to eat is a big help too
Eating properly is so important, especially as we get older!
Invasives do well nd compete very well with native species.
There are so many invasive plants. Hard to keep on top of it.
I feel so badly for your husband's friend, Christine, and do hope his situation can be reversed.
Happy Sunday!
An A1C of 12 is off the charts, isn't it? I hope you're having a lovely Sunday Christine.
Diet and lifestyle is important for our health ...
All the best Jan
Sound like less carbs
Coffee is on and stay safe.
Sorry to hear about you and your husband's friend.
I've heard Guardian's is good, if a tad bit long.
Espero que tu amigo mejore. Te mando un beso.
Always great to find good surprises in the garden. Hopefully, the A1C can come down..but it's not easy..you really have to customize your diet and what might work for one person doesn't mean it will work for another.
I've never seen that in our garden. How nice! All the best to a good week ahead.
weed's flowers look pretty...
A such wake u sound painful at first but once you are used to results are amazing
It's crazy how our food intake can do a number on us! I hope he can adjust and maintain a healthier lifestyle.
i see so many more people talking about what is forageable these days. Your story about your husband's friend is exactly why I worry about my husband who refuses to go to the doctor.
