What a beautiful weekend we had--and gorgeous week ahead!!  David and I returned to our home on Friday, after a week of dog-sitting for a friend.  Loved staying at this beautiful home with a refreshing pool and hot tub, but I'm reminded of why we usually keep dogs at our home :)  We did continue to juice (traveling juicer, baby!), but there were many other food items available to us--cheese, chips, and loads of junky sweets!  This week we didn't do so well staying away from it all, but when we return, we will have to!  It'll be too close to my maid-of-honor position for me to risk the acne and weight gain!!

Saturday morning, we started off with David's delicious lattes.  Mid-day, I made us our Mean Greens and we enjoyed it in a wine glass.  Kris Carr "Crazy Sexy Life" suggests that enjoying your juice in a wine glass or other pretty glassware can make the 'meal' more satisfying.  We liked the idea and enjoyed our lunch :)

We also worked in the the backyard.  We're hosting a party at our home mid-April and, fingers crossed the weather is nice, hope people will use the back porch along with the inside of our home.  That means--weed and leaf clean-up!!  We've cleaned out our waterfall and pond, but still have some leaf mulching to do as well as the weed destruction.  In the meantime, I'm anxiously awaiting my seedlings for my 2012 garden.  So far, my heirloom tomatoes are the strongest.  Ironically, they were the last to produce last year--but the first to grow this year!?  My cherry tomatoes seem to be struggling with a number of the other seeds-cucumbers, basil, spinach, romaine, and peas.  I'll move the heirlooms to the garden next weekend, but hopeful that some of the other seedlings will begin to grow over the next few weeks.  I can't wait to see what produce I have over the Summer!!

Happy Spring!!
