I got up at 5:00 to read my Bible and practice my speech. I watered trees at 7:00, then got on-line and chatted via Skype messaging with Amy and Caleb. I watered trees again at 9:00. I'm tried to follow a pattern on which tree I am watered, but John would drag himself out of his sick bed and move the hose in the side yard. When I'd go back for the next move, I couldn't figure out what the heck my pattern was. He finally told me I had watered the same tree three times. Well, no wonder....
I also weeded the old pineapple bed today. I got about 2/3 of it done before I ran out of time.
I watered trees at 11:00 and then fixed lunch. John broke his fast, so I juiced him four oranges. I had black sapote, papaya, sapadilla, avocado, coconut, and pomalo. After lunch I showered, checked messages and paid a bill. Then I studied my pediatrics lesson. I wish I could raise my kids over as Nature Cure babies. I chatted back and forth a bit with my friend Mary on email today. That's always fun and encouraging.
I don't know where my husband is. I didn't see him on Facebook all day, and I didn't get an email from him.
I continued to move the hoses and water the trees until 5:00. And then I watered my melons for an hour. John is still not feeling good. He finally decided to eat tomatoes for supper. For supper, I had my salad dressing with lettuces, cucumbers, arugula, parsley, and celery. All the veggies came from the garden. Also had sauerkraut.
I practiced the flute and then finished the Pearl Buck biography before I went to bed. Early day tomorrow. John says he's going to Cairns. We'll see at 4:00 a.m.
I finished the Pearl Buck biography before I went to sleep.

Hi Janis, Travis may have been at the hospital in Hot Springs because Judy Benton Lamb is in ICU there. A special facebook page has been created I think called Prayers for Judy Benton Lamb. She fell and had surgery on her leg. Then something else happened, a bleed in her brain. I think several people have been sitting up at the hospital. I'm not sure Travis is one of those. Tommy may need the company. Susanna is coming home for a nice visit tomorrow so I don't know if I will get to go visit her or not. Other than that, all is well. I love you.
