The People are Starving

I dreamed I was having a baby, but it was taking it a long time.  I was in an ambulance and then at a hospital.  The struggle in the dream was in trying to decide on a name for the baby before it was born.  Friends and family were there for me to get feedback on the names.  I finally decided on George for a boy and Missy for a girl.  Crazy dream!

I heard John drive away for Cairns at 4:00 a.m.  I got up at 4:30 and read my Bible chapters.  I did some hand laundry this morning.

At 7:30 I went to the office for the computer.  I Skyped with Amy, Caleb, Phoebe, and Connor.  Precious family!  Caleb laughed when I told him Travis was buying all our Christmas presents this year and said, "Maybe I'll get something expensive".  What a little optimist!  Phoebe was watching Scooby Doo but got on long enough to say, "I love you, Grandjan" and to tell me about her new Dora comforter.  So sweet.  Connor just waved and said "Night, Night".  Good to talk to Amy, too.

John came in from Cairns long enough to drop off the food from the market, prepare his food to take with him, grab his suitcase and head back to Cairns to catch his flight to Surfer's Paradise where he is attending a conference.

I'm reading a condensed book called Water, Stone, Heart by Will North.  I had a good visit with Eddie. Fasting sometimes gives one clarity about situations in life.  He had that experience a couple of years ago.  It's hard to break a fast on your own, because the discipline needed to come off the fast slowly is huge.  That's why Eddie comes here.

I had lunch on my own, so I brought it to my cabin.  I had coconut (not grated), 1/2 of a very large lemon, and 1/2 of a watermelon.

After lunch I read and practiced the flute.  I studied my Anatomy lesson on The Digestive Tract (Part Seven) about the liver, gall bladder, and the pancreas.

I had supper in my room...cucumber, sauerkraut, pecans, date, and an orange.

Eddie and I talked about minerals and trace elements in our food.  He has been an organic grower and spent about $100,000 a year replenishing the soil of his orchards.  Many organic growers do not do that.  Many just don't spray and then consider themselves to be organic.  And then they wonder why their produce is of lower quality.  The United States has an 85% loss of mineral content of the soil in the last 100 years.  This, along with fast food, is a major cause of the obesity in the U.S.  The people are starving even though they are full.  Eddie loaned me his book, The Root of All Disease by Elmer G. Heinrick.  He discusses the loss of mineralization of the soil in this book; however, he is advocating plant-based supplementation.   I would rather hear more about how to rebuild our soils and how to get away from processed de-vitalized foods.

Eddie consulted with John via phone at 6:00 this evening.  He said he tried to talk John into putting him on juice, but John didn't go for it.

John turned the water on the watermelons before he left, but he didn't tell me.  I turned it off after he brought it up on his call.  So the melons got a good soaking today.

There are ants in the office.  They are crawling over my computer.  Will they get inside it?  I guess I'll start disconnecting it and putting it in my cabin unless I'm using it.

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...
