Well the weather certainly has been strange. Thank goodness for the rain. Had a few setbacks, rabbits, chipmunks, squash bugs, the usual.

Remember, you can chop greens and put them in anything, tortillas, scrambled eggs, soup, stirfry, salad, with pasta(cold or hot), or coleslawy. Kale and collards, all greens, can be interchanged in a recipe. Recipes at the end of this post.
