Almost out ...

The epic move from the old place to the new continues ... ugh! We are in the cleaning and final stages of removal and trying to find a new place for everything in the newer, smaller dwelling.

One thing is for certain ... Garage sale will be huge with really great deals to move all this un-needed stuff and make room for organization of the new.

We have boxes stacked pretty much everywhere ... I went through quite a few and then we just hauled them empty back up to the old house and filled them again. Somewhat depressing to see the same boxes back in their old stacks needing to be emptied again.

The cool thing is that a friend visited yesterday and while showing him the backyard, he exclaimed that we were sooo lucky!!! I asked why and he walked over to our ground cover plants and scooped up a handful and shoved them in his mouth ... I was somewhat surprised as he munched on the leaves. He told me to try it ... so I did and it was wonderful!

Apparently we have what is called "Miners Lettuce" as ground cover ... just about everywhere. Tastes similar to Spinach and has a light flavorful texture. We will definitely be eating this! We'll be mixing it into our salads ... heck, it could be a salad all by itself.

Laurel suggested we have him back over to show us how to eat the rest of the plants ... of course we also have our share of dandelions in the yard.
