Fabulous Fermented Foods-

After I started making water kefir I found it really helped my acid reflux. It also got rid of my cat Anya's nasal wheezing. Who knew? I started reading up on more types fermented foods to try, then I found this- 20 Ways To Include Fermented Foods @ Every Meal  What great ideas!!! I LOVE their website, and you can do all kinds of things. If you sign up for their free newsletters they'll send you a free eBook, and very easy-to-read articles. I'll be trying this soon Lacto Fermented Mayo  Like me, if you need whey, here's a easy looking way to glean some- Buying/Making Whey For Fermentation   Bon appetit!

My Eye Surgery-

Thanks for all the supportive and kind words from all! My eye surgery went pretty well Tuesday. I can see much clearer, brighter and I'm somewhat corrected with the implant. I opted for middle range vision- some distance and some reading. I took my right lens out and can see pretty well! I stayed home 2 1/2 days. Glad I did. I have to do lots of eye drops, and sleep with a small protector over my eye for 1 week. I'm having a bit of fluttering on the outside of the eye. The implant hasn't seated completely. Doc says 3 days-3 weeks is very normal. Hopefully it will be sooner, it's just so distracting! When I look ahead I'm fine, but moving my eye, it's like a spasm. I'll wait about another 2 + weeks and get a new lens for my glasses. I don't want contacts, so this is a good alternative. Somewhere down the line I'll get the other one done, as it's not too bad right now. Then I'll be all set. Now I feel like I'm getting Dave's cold :( 

Spring Gardening With Chickens!

It's 60 and clear and sunny! Spring! Dave deep cleaned the front yard last weekend, trimmed the ornamental grasses, some of the perennials, etc. Today I had him toss some of it into the garden. The girls went to work right away. That's feathered composting!

DIY Duh Moment-

When we installed new windows and a sliding glass door several years ago, we ran into a problem with the flooring in the kitchen. It kept curling. The flooring went up against the bottom of the slider. We tried multiple times to secure it. We had a contractor come in today to give us a bid for our bathroom re-do, gutters, and a few other small jobs. We asked about the floor and he said, "oh you just need a threshold strip". DUH. Dave went out and bought one, installed it. All fixed!  :)   

Happy St. Pat's Day!
