Kalettes
Have you heard of the new vegetable called kalettes (brussel sprouts crossed with kale)? It is also called brussel kale, lollipop kale, and flowersprouts. They haven't arrived in my grocery store yet, but I look forward to trying them.

Yesterday Freedom Service Dogs graduated 25 more client/dog teams. It touched the hearts of everyone in the packed house, as always. 25 absolutely wonderful dogs were rescued and saved from death to become best friends and life-savers to 25 humans. It takes months of work to train the dogs. Some of the training was given by Colorado Prison Inmates, some by at-risk youth, some by University of Denver MSW interns, some by a legion of trained volunteers such as myself, and most by the professional trainers. It is win-win-win all around.
It is snowing, and "Baby it's cold outside." Maybe we will have a white Christmas.
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
― Rachel Carson
