I would use the enthusiasm to go in and pull unwanted plants but leave the area as intact as possible. You still like those plants and they seem to have liked the area also. Your mint will keep growing even if you pull it though, so you can make peace with it in that area or you will really have to move everything if you can't stand the mint growing without your desire.

I get mine from express scripts and pay 9.00 for a 3 month supply.I was totally surprised last month when they sent my refill for Femara,and it was free.Seems it went generic,so no charge.That's ok with me,i'll take free any day. Some of our meds we fill on the base,so no charge,but others they don't carry so it's express scripts or cvs. I really feel sorry for those that have high co-pays.I was at the oncologists one day and this older lady in front of me came in for her treatments and her co-pay was 277.00,i almost dropped my teeth:) I pay nothing for that either.Thank God DH was career military. kathi

My idea is much like Sharon's but carried one step further. Get a good amount of carrots and celery to combine with onions and make a large batch of mirepoix which, frozen in small portions, would simplify brazing or making soup or sauces by eliminating some tedious prep work. There are innumerable dishes which can be made with mirepoix. I've suggest this before but haven't done it myself yet. But I will. I still think it's a good idea. Jim

A lot of people do keto, but don't drop weight. They keep up the calories to stay the weight they are. Even skinny people can have elevated cholesterol. I'm learning to eat those avocado's. Someone here told me they like them with lemon juice and so far, it's the only way I can eat them. I put coconut oil and butter in my coffee almost every morning. My ketones are still low: today, 0.6 which is barely in ketosis. When I get back from holidays, I'm going to sit down with my meal plans to try to include more fatty meats. I also have to get back downstairs and use that gym I made my husband put together for me. Haven't been in there since January. On a side note though: my parents live on the bottom of a small mountain. It's like a big rocky hill. LOL I want to walk to the top of it. Mainly so when I get to the top, I can look at the US side and take pictures of Mt Baker from one side, then turn around and take pictures of the city my parents live in. Coming down will be much easier. I mentioned it to my sister last night. I was hoping she would come with me. She said, "ask dad......" LOL
