Still Watering Trees

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.

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...
