My next trip

We will be going on the Rocky Mountaineer train from Vancouver to Banff in a couple of weeks. It is supposed to be a spectacular train ride and we are looking forward to this trip. As always, I will take lots of pictures and share some highlights after my return.

Right now I am having fun with planting flowers and vegetables in my garden.

Learned something new

Today I was at Walmart shopping for more flowers(yet to find space for them) and found a herb plant called Stevia. Its leaves are so sweet and it is supposed to be a natural sweetner with no calories and can be used instead of Splenda or Equal. Imagine my surprise when I heard that. I love growing herbs, so I bought the plant. I tasted the leaf and it was very sweet. I am trying very hard not to buy more plants but it is just not happening.
