Peaches and Italian Plums from our trees! Sigh. We ate a whole vegetable bin's worth in less than two weeks.
Fibromyalgia sufferers, take note: I'm falling in love with food again. I attribute it to my miracle day: On August 17 at 1:30 I came out of the first of what has continued to be many physical therapy sessions. I went in with low back pain, but it turns out I had a train-track's length of vertebrae from my neck down to the middle of my back that were some degree of "stuck"--many of them 100%
From the moment I walked out of that bone-crunching visit, I have had NO fibromyalgia pain or fatigue. I'm running errands, hiking, walking with the dog, cooking, doing laundry. Incredible. If I'd known this was all it took, I would have gone a long, long time ago. I did tell my husband how much I'd been wanting to go, but it came down to our budget and paying the bills. Finally, I just went, and you know what? Now he realizes we can't afford not to do it. He hasn't seen me like this in years. And look, here's proof that I'm actually cooking again. Those are swiss chard greens from the garden. I'm even gardening with gusto!
I am SOO happy you are feeling better! That's wonderful news :)

How do you have peach trees and plums? Doesn't it snow up there? How do you keep them alive? We have snow in Northern Virginia and I would love to figure out how to get some fruit trees in our yard to stay alive!
