Fall Foliage 2011


I live in the midwest.  Summer is too hot.  Winter is too cold and snowy.  I love spring and fall best.  The heat of summer is past now.  The days are pleasantly warm and the nights are cool.  Perfect!  I’m starting to see the tips of the trees turning all the warm colors of autumn … Yellow, gold, red, orange and brown.  I live in a valley and can look out my back window to see the hillside.  It’s lush green all summer, but in the fall, it practically glows in a rainbow of color.  I’ve been watching the trees and the Foliage map so I don’t miss the peak.  I love to drive thru the countryside at least a couple times with nowhere to go … Just to soak in the sites.

I’m going to be posting fall foliage photos as I take them.

I posted the pictures at Fall Foliage Part 2

I invite you to add a comment with links to your fall foliage photos, too.  When you do, I’ll display them in a future post.

Are You Still Smoking?


There are SO many reasons to quit smoking … And NO good reasons to continue. I ran across this video on Doctor Oz’s website that illustrates what happens in your lungs when you breathe in cigarette smoke . . .

My friend, Joe Weaver, author of the book “The Tao of Quitting Smoking,” listed 100 Reasons to Quit Smoking.  My top 10 from his list are here.  You’ll also find links to his site and other quit smoking resources there and here.

It’s that time of year when we’re all thinking of New Year’s Resolutions.  Some smoker’s just can’t see through their smoke.  But, if you want to take a giant leap of health, stop smoking today.  ARE YOU READY?

Healthy Holiday Eating Tips


Thanksgiving TurkeyIt’s that time of year when everyone wishes Happy Holidays! But, wouldn’t it be nice to be wished HEALTHY Holidays, too? The Holidays are a wonderful time of year for everyone – Young and old. But, it can also be a whirlwind of parties with not-so-healthy food. Buffet tables are filled with high calorie, but low nutrition party food. I can picture it now … Bacon wrapped hors d’oeuvres, cocktail wieners, candied yams, marshmallow fruit salad, cookies and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. And lots of Holiday drinks.

Just because there’s a buffet table overflowing with food and an open bar, it doesn’t mean you have to eat everything you possible can. That may be easier said than done. So, here are Healthy Holiday Eating Tips . . .
