Feeling Better

I woke up at 5:00 and went over my speech.  I have no idea how long it will go, because I can't stay focused on it long enough to get through it.  With my unfocused mind, it takes 1-1/2 hours.  Probably when I give it, it will take five minutes.

I'm feeling better this morning - no nausea!  Take away the dross, and you'll have a finer vessel!

I'm enjoying reading the Bible through again.  Instead of focusing on the primary meaning, I am looking at them as an individual.   And' it is delightful when totally random readings tie together and something beautiful comes to mind.
Proverbs 25:28  He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and WITHOUT WALLS.
Zechariah 2:5  For I the Lord, will be unto her A WALL OF FIRE around about and will be the glory in the midst of her.

I got on line and checked emails and Facebook, but I couldn't get Skype to work.

I sat in the sun for awhile, but it's still a little chilly today.  Penny and I visited awhile on our patio.  Penny has not had to take any insulin since her second day here.  She goes home on Friday.  I did some laundry and took a shower.  I am in my skinny jeans shorts.  Now to stay there while I am traveling!


I started reading a biography of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning by Frances Winwar.  There were a couple of interesting paragraphs in this book regarding doctors.

It described Dr. Sylvester Graham, one of the pioneers of the modern natural health movement and the inventor of the graham cracker, as a quack, an advocate of mud baths, and high priest of the temple of health.

On the next page it talks about the doctors that were summoned to help Elizabeth with her lung condition.  "The doctors wrote out their prescriptions which made Mr. Barrett snort when he saw HOW LITTLE THEY HELPED HIS DAUGHTER."   Eventually someone thought a change of air would help Elizabeth.

"The regimen of FRESH AIR, SUNSHINE, AND NOURISHING FOOD was supplemented by medical authority with OPIUM".  "Obediently she took the prescribed doses although no one had anything illuminating to say about her illness OR ITS CAUSES."

There is none so blind as he who will not see.

Lunch today was watermelon and coconut.  I even helped grind the coconut.  It was very good.

.
I got a sweet card from my friend Theresa.  She's a treasure.  Also, sweet message from DIL Amy.   Consultations at 2:00.  John took Penny's picture to go on his blog.  I feel like I need to get back to work, so tomorrow I will start doing domestics and resting whenever I get tired.

I ate supper in the kitchen with the others tonight.  I had two mandarin oranges, a date, and a few pecans.  We had interesting discussion about food tonight.

I leave for Melbourne on September 4th.  It was good news to me when I figured out this afternoon that I am NOT leaving next Sunday.  I need the extra recuperating time.

To health and happiness...

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...
