Karen's Arrival

I slept nearly twelve hours.  I got up at 7:00 and did my hand laundry and then got on the computer.  I skyped with Amy and the kids and then with Travis.  Skype makes it much easier to talk to the family.

I have decided this is a good time to read the Bible through again while I am here.  I have read the Bible through quite a few time in the past, but it's been a while since I systematically read it through completely.  I am using the same system I have used successfully in the past.  I have divided the Bible into seven sections - Law,  History, Poetry, Major Prophets,  Minor Prophets, Gospels, and Epistles.  Right now I am reading from Genesis, Ezra, Proverbs, Isaiah,  Jonah, Acts, and 1 Timothy.  I didn't start at the beginning of each section.  I started where I was already at in my less systematic reading.  Maybe I can get through it by December.

I studied my natural hygiene lesson on James C. Thomson and got it typed up and sent to John. Lunch was papaya, custard apple, avocado, tamarillo, passion fruit, banana, longans, and grated coconut.   Also got a good sunbath and read in my Fit for Life not Fat for Life book.

We had our initial consultation with Karen.  I like her and hope she will achieve all that she is hoping for.  She will be here for 4-1/2 weeks.  She works in a toxic environment driving heavy equipment.  She is hoping to find the courage to leave her high paying job to find a healthier lifestyle.

My computer did not charge up today even though I had it plugged in.  It's only had an 11% charge.  I don't understand why.  I was able to do a few things, but I won't have any power tomorrow morning.  I'm hoping to talk to my momma on Skype tomorrow morning.

Supper was tomato, grated carrot, avocado, lettuce, lime juice, sauerkraut, dates and pecans.

There is a gecko in my room.  I don't like it, but John says he won't hurt me.  Karen says he has just come for a little visit, and it is a good omen.  There is a spider in here somewhere, too.  When I came in from the office after practicing my flute he was in the middle of the floor.  As I walked across the room to turn on the light he ran off somewhere.  Yuck!

I worked on my Lesson 41 Questions then read awhile.

Be healthy and happy.

    When we lived in San Antonio I loved it when we got geckos in the house. It meant less spiders so you might not have a spider in the room anymore. If I got more then to geckos in the house I caught them and put them back outside :) No Geckos here in PA but plenty of spiders!

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
