There are days that I feel like Noah. At the Henry farm it feels like the animals are coming two by two but we still haven't got the much needed rain for our crops! I'm not sure what's going on at our house but literally it's, "who let the dogs out"!
Barney, as I have lovingly named the no-name dog who has taken up residence in the neighbors back yard, has decided he is my new best friend. We're not sure what breed Barney is but he looks like a basset hound, has the howl of a basset hound, but is black with white spots.
Barney and I first met three days ago when I was going for my early morning walk. Barney howled to acknowledge me then darted from the neighbors yard down the dirt road to take a morning stroll alongside of me. We have no idea who Barney belongs too but last night when hubby got home he was laying on the last step of our deck like he belonged there.
We have a way with animals at our place.
I think there's an invisible sign that only dogs, cats, fish, crab, and ducks can see!

That sign flashes neon in our yard and says,
"if you look cute the little cowboy that lives here will get his mom to keep you!"
Now for the duck story ~ told ya it was getting just like Noah. A neighbor that lives down the road has hens and always drops by a few dozen eggs each week. She was out making her delivery to Mimi's and of course the little cowboy was there too. She said in passing as she was leaving that if Mimi knew of anyone who wanted a duck she had one that needed a home and in fact, the duck had a brother and the two had never been seperated so they need to go live at their new home together ~ 2 by 2.
With excitement and bright eyes for the prospect of a new pet our little cowboy said, "We'll take them!"

Not sure if we have room on our farm for the ducks as the other animals may find them too tempting to stay away from. That's a decision to be made at a later date.
Temptation is my topic for today's meltdown. Everyone has a food temptation and if you're anything like me it's all of nothing. With that I mean there could be donuts, cookies, cakes in our breakroom and I would never stop to grab a bite.
Give me chips n' salsa or a dip with crackers and it's game on. Once you know your weakness you can go about creating healthy alternatives for what you are craving. My new favorite is Laughing Cow Garlic and Herb (in the deli section) and it's a cream cheese like cheese wedge. I eat it with 11 of my other new favorites Pretzel Crisps. I can have 11 of the Pretzel Crisps and the laughing cow for only 2 ww points. It gives me an alternative when I'm craving the crunch of a chip and the creaminess of a dip.
What food temptation do you have? I'll help you create a healthy alternative to keep you on track with your healthy eating lifestyle! Or do you have something you use to help ward off a craving or have you found a good recipe for a healthy substitute? Please share with all of us!
Have a great day ~ Stephanie

They went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
