Bees!

I took a bee keeping class at Round Rock Honey in RWC last Saturday. Learned a lot, had fun, and crossed something off my unofficial bucket list. 

Turkey sausage recipe

Made turkey sausage today using breast, 

wing, and thigh meat. 4lbs. The flavor is good, 

but the sausage is a little dry. Next time I 

want to try adding onions for moisture.

It happened later than I wanted, but feels good to get the garden planted this year. 

8 tomatoes

4 corn

8 green beans (new this year!)

2 cantaloupe 

2 watermelon

1 eggplant

4 bell peppers

3 peppers

1 zucchini (next to the fence)

16 marigolds (to add color and divert bugs)

I have the comments to convert to a drip system, but haven't had time to do that yet.  I'll need to get this in before the plants get too big. 

Also planted 6 herbs in the wine barrel, 2 herbs in the planter below the barrel, 5 herbs in mini-pots, and 20 seeded veggies (5 plants, 4 of each).

The article is about surrounding yourself with those you want to emulate. 

"You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." - Jim Rohn

Three essential people in your life at all times. 

1 - A person who is older than you and more successful to learn from

2 - A person who is equal with you to share ideas with

3 - A person below you to coach and keep you energized
