Weeding the Jaboticabas

I am still having computer issues.  My computer only charged up 18%, so I didn't even try to get on Sunday morning.  Ben brought over the generator, and they charged the solar batteries for several hours.



It rained again.  This is the dry season, but since I've been here, it has rained more days than not.  No sun = No sunbathing.

My first job was to weed the Jaboticabas that are planted along the fence row.  I got about a quarter of them done when I had to switch jobs and mulch the custard apples John was feeding. It's good exercise shoveling mulch into a wheel barrow, pushing it all up to the trees, and shoveling it out around the trees.  It takes a wheel barrow full per tree.  We fed and mulched six trees today.



I saw a witchy grub today ....disgusting.  The aborigines used to eat them   They must have been desperate.


I woke up tired ... even thought about not getting up at all.  But decided the work would be good for me.  I had extreme dizziness while weeding.  and while pushing the wheel barrow full of mulch I started having sharp, stabbing pains in my stomach.  Just temporary.  It's all good.  No pain.  No gain.

For lunch I had papaya, avocado, and a few bites of pineapple and coconut.  I saved the rest of my lunch for supper since I wasn't very hungry.

I washed my hair and tried rolling it on rollers.  It reminded me of the 60's when we rolled our hair on big curlers.  We would run around in curlers all day so our hair would look good in the evening.


I am studying vaccinations right now.  I would like to impress upon everyone to educate yourself on the dangers of inoculating yourself with disease poisons.

I was able to get on the internet for a little while in the afternoon.  I had an email from Molly announcing that grand-daughter Ashlyn now has pierced ears!   Woo Hoo Ashie!!


Supper was 1/2 avocado, 1/2 pineapple, banana, coconut, a little sauerkraut, 1 date, and some pecans.

That's it for now.  Stay safe and be happy.

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.
