    @dawnbgethealthy ....try sprinkling a little feta on those beets after roasting ??

    Good tip. Thanks!
    I usually roast them with herbs from my garden, delish.
    I very rarely eat cheese, but I will have to try that : - )

    Hello Everyone.
    I am Dawn and live in South East British Columbia. I am 60.
    My goal remains the same as it has been for quite some time, 16-20 AF days per month.

    I do it kind of diary style:

    Thursday October 01 - AF - I did manage 17AF days for September even though I drank every single day (moderately) of my birthday week while away. I have to wean myself off of that path.
    Friday October 02 - AF - I really felt like having drinks though.
    Saturday October 03 - Drinks. I did flirt with the idea of an AF October...for a minute. Not yet, and not sure if ever I will want to be joining the sober squad.
    Sunday October 04 - AF - Really going to try to get back to having at least 2AF days in a row this month.

    Rolling total: 3 AF days out of 4 days so far.

    Fabulous photos! Thanks!

    I had no idea what a Key Lime Tree looked like, or that it would have such beautiful flowers.
    I guess that you will be dragging that 4 foot tree inside sometime this month in NJ.

    I put beet greens into so many things. I cut them when they are tender and nice and generally freeze them to make them easier to slice into strips to add to stir-frys, chili, soups, etc.

    Still waiting for more photos of your getaway @MissMay
    I think that you mentioned a trip to a pumpkin patch?

    That bridge looks terrifying.

    I really really love to see people's pictures on here.

    @dawnbgethealthy lugging in the key lime wouldn’t be too bad if I didn’t have to carry it up 3 steps! Then I put it on a little roller and I crawl/push it across the carpet. My own mini-workout 💪😂

    When we kept it on the patio, so no steps/even with the house, the wind would blow it off the edge!

    Dang...now I want a gin and tonic and it’s only 1pm work lunch break 😁

    Couple of bottles of wine with my sister & DH as we enjoyed the evening and dinner. My 3rd glass was handed over to DH ... :)

    Oct accountability: 0/5 days AF
