The New Tomato Plant

I took advantage of a two-day sale at Armstrong's Nurseries and bought this producing tomato plant for my patio garden.  So far after a couple of days it seems to be doing well.  What might look like out-of-control nut grass in the background is actually a mitigation area to satisfy local environmental regulations for open space.

Dinner Salad

I promise this is the last post about my meals for awhile.  I've been on a low carbohydrate eating regimen since the first of April and I'm still getting used to the meals.  I've lost over 15 pounds so far and I've not been hungry.  I do miss Snickers Bars©, and chocolate chip ice cream and every once in awhile get a craving.  But so far I've been able to resist.  Here is what I ate last night along with a couple pieces of skinless, boneless, grilled chicken thighs.  It was delicious.  The salad is made of lettuce, chicken, avocado, tomato, a little cheddar cheese, and 2 Tbls. of Ken's Steak House Blue Cheese Dressing.

Today's Lunch: BLT with Flatbread

In this case the Lettuce was substituted with Avocado.  Much better.  I added a few chileanos for some zest.

RATTLESNAKE!!!

First one of the season.  It's the perfect time of the year for spotting them.  Cool nights and mornings so they seek the warmth of the concrete patios and parking areas.  This one is hole up in a drain pipe because a neighbor squirted the hose at it.
