Today is Friday, the sun’s out, my plants are happy, some of my busyness have subsided and it’s looking to be a great day! I haven’t done a lot of writing this month and I’m still trying to catch up on some of your blogs and get back into my normal groove. When I’m overextended my mind has a way of purging itself of all creative thoughts.
I got up this morning and ate my last three strips of bacon. I don’t know if this is you, but some of us have some foods that we have designated bad for us. Not sure what it is that I have against bacon, but this was it for me. Maybe it has something to do with the high cholesterol I mysteriously developed a few years ago, or maybe the pig just always gets a bad rap, but prior to this last month, I had not eaten bacon in almost five years.
A friend reminded me through a video, life is short and whatever you feel like eating, just eat! It is most important to be happy. So, for this entire month I have been chowing down on some bacon, sopped clean of grease with a napkin of course.
So happy Friday and if there are some foods you have stayed away from because you’ve deemed them “bad” for you, today is a good day to indulge. Go have some!
Enjoy, and have a happy weekend!
Sincerely Jan 
What a beautiful plant!!

Funny. I threw caution to the wind and bought some awesome apple smoked pepper bacon from a place about four hours away. We used to drive by the company several times a year and would stock up. But we’ve given up bacon too. But I figured it’s okay to cheat once in a while. And it may be years before we’re by the store again.

I should have said applewood smoked pepper bacon. It’s an awesome bacon with a hint of apple. And it is sprinkled with pepper.

Yeah that’s right, it also smoked with real applewood embers. I don’t know about all that, I just know it tastes good 😂.
