Sweet Peppers

Sweet Peppers are rich in beta carotene.

Sweet peppers contain no fat and are very low in calories.  They're only 20 calories every 1/2 cup.
Try raw sweet peppers cut into slices and dip them in hummus for a delicious and healthy snack!

  2. Hello Olivia,
    Sweet pepper's are so good for you and they taste good with so many types of foods.
    They are very high in vitamin C.
    I am growing green bell peppers this year. they are already budding with small bell peppers. I can't wait to pick them.
    Wishing you a very nice evening.
    PS I already started drawing out two halloween paintings.
    I will have my butterfly sunflower painting done next week.
    Wishing you a great evening,
    Lydia

  3. Great, Lydia !

    I am looking forward to seeing the

    new sunflower painting on your

    artblog next week.

    It has become very, very hot

    here. I hardly got out, and the

    shutters are three-quarters

    closed, to keep the heat outside

    and the cool air inside.

    Wishing you a good evening

    Olivia

  4. helo Olivai,
    I look forward to showing it too.
    I will send you out another letter very soon.
    It's good that your keeping cool. It's hot here too!
    almost 100 degrees F today.
    I go out and brave it, which I must be crazy to do. I drink a lot of fluids though.
    During the day all my shades are shut too and the air is on.
    Keep cool and enjoy your day tomorrow!

  5. Hello Lydia,

    I drink lots of fluids as well,

    iced lemon juice being my favorite.

    But I do not go out during the day,

    I try to stay home in the cool

    house as much as possible.

    Chou-Chou does not mind the heat,

    he loves it.

    Have a nice day,

    OLivia

  6. Hello Olivia,
    that's smart to stay in to avoid heat stroke. It's super hot here too!

    I enjoyed the AC.

    Have a nice evening,
    Lydia

  8. How cute Olivia.
    He is enjoying himself and the summer.
    I just went to the pet store this evening with my daughter and I saw a cute kitten there. She looked exactly like Ginger.
    She was beautiful.
    Have a great day,
    Lydia
