Mareeba Rodeo

During the night I had many healing symptoms like I am close to a healing crisis.  A healing crisis will be the time to begin fasting.  During the night, I felt sick, headache, stiff neck, sore nose, sore tongue, bad taste in the mouth, kidney pain, lower back pain, arthritic and swollen fingers.  At 6:00 a.m. I felt better, but the symptoms were still there.

There was no 240 volt this morning, thus no computer.  I went back to bed and read a book.  I showered and washed my hair...so goodbye straight hair....hello curly hair.  Today was a day of rest.  I worked on getting more cobbler's pins out of my jacket and reading.

John was in Cairns for the day, so Karen and I prepared lunch.  We had papaya, pineapple, sapadilla.  I cracked the coconut and shredded it with the coconut shredder.  We crack the coconut by beating it on the edge of the cement porch.  Once it cracks, we catch the coconut water in a bowl and everyone gets a drink of the coconut water right out of the bowl.  A coconut half is then grated into the rest of the coconut water.  The other half is saved until the next day.  It will be grated without any coconut water.  Karen made us a wonderful dessert - layer of mashed banana, layer of chopped pineapple, layer of mashed banana, layer of shredded coconut, layer of pecans.

John was late getting in today.  He was to pick up a client at the airport.  Her flight was delayed for two hours, so he waited in Cairns for it to arrive.  When the plane landed, he waited until the last person from the flight was gone and she didn't show up.  It's a mystery.

Supper was lettuce, tomato, avocado, lime juice, sauerkraut, pecans and 2 dates.

We discussed John's diet during dinner tonight.  He eat's the foods he does because they supply the nutrition he needs in the simplest form.  It keeps his life simple and avoids stress.  The foods are simple to buy and simple to prepare.  The green leaves are almost a complete food in themselves.  Dates, also, are almost a complete food.  John includes cottage cheese and kefir from raw, organic milk in his diet.

If someone does not like sauerkraut, yogurt could be used to supply the probiotics as long as it is made from raw, organic milk.  I love the 360 brand of sauerkraut from Whole Foods.  I plan to find a good source for cheese when I get home.

I got John's approval on making a salad dressing with lemon juice, olive oil, honey, and herbs from the garden.  Vinegar is not to be used in food.

Jonathon, Tina, Leon and Sky from next door picked me up at 5:00, and we went to Mareeba to the rodeo.  There was a small midway and a rodeo arena.  Price of admission was $30.00.  Leon, who is seven, was looking forward to the bull-riding.  That was the last thing on the program for the day.  It was so much fun being in an arena with Australian cowboys.  We sat by a man whose son is a 16-year-old bull-rider.  He is sending his son to America next year to work with a former rodeo champion so he can possibly make it on the rodeo circuit in the United States.

Here I am at the Mareeba Rodeo.

I went into a pirate spooky house with Tina and Leon.  It was one guy inside with a scary mask and a flashlight.  As our little car made it around the track, he would turn on the light and put his face up close to ours.  That cost us $8.00 each.

We got home at 10:20.  That's a late night for the Clohesy River Health Farm.

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...

Dr. John Fielder's Visit

My Natural Hygiene teacher and mentor, Dr. John Fielder, included us again on his Worldwide Raw Food Lecture Tour.  He arrived at my house on Monday, May 14.  Tuesday we had a raw foods dinner at the house for a few of the people that helped to organize the events here in Arkansas.   Wednesday, the Hot Springs Village Raw Foods Group met at Gulpha Gorge Picnic Area for a picnic with Dr. Fielder.  Wednesday night he made a presentation here in Hot Springs Village about the Principles of Natural Living.  The following night he spoke at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Little Rock.  There was a good crowd at both events.  Dr. John Fielder Here I am introducing Dr. Fielder at the HSV lecture. At the lecture we served some raw food treats for our guests to sample.  One of the items was a chocolate granola bar.  I cut the squares much smaller for this event because of the number of people we had to serve.
