It was a beautiful day for gardening in Central Ohio. Bluebird skies and hot….
I discovered I really like Sheperd’s Purse. I’ve been munching on it all week. It is a member of the mustard family and has a peppery taste to it. It kind of dances on the taste buds. It is called Shepherd’s Purse because of it’s tiny, triangular, purse-like pods that hold the spice. Native Americans and old-world Europeans often used it as flavoring for food and it also has several medicinal properties including treatment of chronic bleeding disorders. It grows native and wild in a variety of places. Here is a close-up of the purses.

It was also a weekend filled with puppy cuteness.

I had some beautiful days and even a little relaxation too…
I also ran the Race for the Cure with my mother-in-law who is a survivor. It was hot and surprisingly long for a 5K! I finished in 53:18 (run-walking) and I went back and walked the last 3/4 with my mother-in-law and team. She has been cancer-free for two and a half years now.
And, I made this awesome recipe this weekend. It is not healthy, but it was sooooo good and the husband loved it too. It’s nice to splurge once in awhile – don’t forget that!

Sounds like a great weekend! Very exciting for your MIL to be cancer free for 2.5 years! How special to get to do that 5K with her!
It does sound like a great weekend.
We are having a stat holiday in Canada today called Victoria Day, after a queen named Victoria. It is held the closest Monday to/before May 24th and I have always loved it cause May 24th is my birthday.
And now that we have an apartment in the city named after the queen it is even more special. Went out for 2 different one hour walks in the new neighborhood and taking pics of the ducks and turtles, geese and herons at the park across the street.
Your doggies are so darned cute! I am glad you got to run with your MIL… very sweet.
Puppies!!!!! That recipe looks amazing 🙂 I cheered at the Cleveland Marathon. It was HOT (and I don’t mean sexy, lol)!!!!!
