Life is short

Here's a funny one for you today:

This is a wonderful story of a Toronto dad and his 2 young boys honouring their late wife and mom with a round the world trip.  They even have a blog which you can subscribe to and follow their experiences.  I was struck by the fact that life is short and they want to live life to the fullest in memory of a special woman.

Ivy of Happy Whisk told us about microgreens which I didn't know about, did you?

They are the early leaves from various plants and vegetables that can be quite delectable.

Yay for Watermelon

Here is a funny one for you today:

I read this great article on the benefits of watermelon the other day.  I had stopped eating it when I heard how much sugar it has, but it is obvious the nutritious benefits outweigh the sugar problem.  Apparently it helps with blood pressure, acid reflux, Alzheimer's and many other health issues.  It has Vitamin A, C, potassium and 2 cups are only 80 calories, with no fat.  I am definitely going back to eating this delicious fruit, it was a favourite to begin with.
