Carry On

I woke up at 3:00 and read my Bible chapters.  I felt really sick when I first woke up.  I thought I might not be able to work today.  But after I got up, dressed and moved around awhile, I felt much better.  The doctor says when you wake up feeling bad, go ahead and work for an hour or so.  If after an hour you still feel sick, go back to bed.  If you feel better, carry on.

Travis had company.  Molly, Ken, Zac, Braeden, and Ashlyn were all with him at my house.  They had been to see Braeden run cross country and were getting ready to watch the Arkansas Razorbacks play Auburn.  I got to see them all on Skype.  I can't wait to see them live and in person in December.

Today I cleaned one of the cabins to prepare for a client coming in soon.  I also cleaned the shower and toilets.  It was all finished by 11:00.  John was still feeding a tree, but he told me to take it easy until lunch.  So I did.

Lunch was watermelon, star apple, avocado, banana, and coconut.

After lunch I checked emails and Facebook and played a game of Mahjong Titans on the computer, practiced my flute, checked on the watermelons, and started a book called The Millionaires by Brad Meltzer.  It's a Reader's Digest Condensed Book.  There are scores of Reader's Digest Condensed Books around here.

I studied my supplemental lesson on Pediatrics about care of the skin, hair and ears.

Supper was tomato, cucumber, avocado, sauerkraut, a few pecans and a date.  I didn't have much of an appetite tonight.  John broached the subject of interviewing me on a video with his new camera.  The subject will be the course he teaches.

After supper I checked my messages and played Mahjong Titans.  I didn't take my computer to my cabin tonight, mainly because I was afraid the new client would arrive and it would disturb him.  But he hasn't shown up yet.  I just knitted on my scarf to the sounds of nature.  I should finish the scarf tomorrow.

I went to be at 8:00 and read...not for very long...I think I slept with the book open in my hand for an hour.  That's the position I was in when I woke up at 9:00 and turned out the light.

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...
