Locquats

It was cool this morning, 62 degrees in the cabin.  I spent 1-1/2 hours reading my ten chapters in the Bible.  That's about how long it takes every day.  I could read them faster, for sure.  But what's the point of that.  I'm trying to get more understanding or great truths as I read.

I started mowing at 8:00.  The tropical sun was out by this time and it was hot.  I set a moving goal to mow until 9:00, then 9:30, then 10:00.  At 9:50 I had to give it up.  I was so hot, sweaty and thirsty.  And I started feeling chills.  So I pushed the mower halfway to the house, then went to my cabin and drank a bottle of water.  I laid on my bed and wiped sweat for about 30 minutes

At 10:30, I put on my big, floppy hat and weeded in the pineapple bed for 30 minutes.  I'm such a wuss.  John works from 7:00 to 11:30 without any problems
Airing out my sweaty work clothes and drying my towel and washcloth.

Lunch was coconut water, grated coconut, papaya, mango, locquat, avocado, banana, and star apples.  This was my first time to taste a locquat.  It tastes like a cross between a peach and an apricot.

I made an appointment to get my hair cut on October 21.  Louisa cut it last time, but she left the hair salon to open a modeling agency, so Kayla is going to cut it.

It's always a pleasure to get a friendly e-mail from a friend.

My camera is broken.  Inanimate objects know when you talk bad about them.  Yesterday I said my Sony Cybershot looked chunky up beside John's new Nikon camera, and today the Sony Cybershot will not work at all.  I probably won't buy a new camera until I get home because I don't want to buy one with an Australian plug.  John has two cameras now...ha ha.  He is letting me borrow his Lumix.

I practiced my flute after lunch.  Then I studied my lesson on Pediatrics about children during their school years.  I couldn't get an internet connection, so I was not able to type the lesson in Google documents.

The new client arrived this evening.  His name is Eddie, and he lives around here somewhere close.  He drove over to fast.  He and John have known each other for years.  Eddie has been here many times in the past to fast.  He was already fasting when he arrived, so he greeted us and went to his cabin and went to bed.

Supper was cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, sauerkraut, pecans, and a date.  Sky and Leon came over with their computer.  They were able to get on-line.  I took my computer to my room and watched the first part of the DVD Piecing it All Together.  The first part was The Biology of Perception by Bruce Lipton.

I finished my scarf...my first knitting project.  Maybe I'll wear it home.  When I leave here in December it will be summer in the tropics, but when I get home it will be winter.

I read in The Millionaires.  It's a good, fun story.

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...
