Looking for Koala Coins

Another early wake-up.  I heard John leave for Cairns at 4:00 a.m. before I went back to sleep.  I got up and dressed at 5:30.

There is a big spider in my room.  I know it is not a dangerous type, but it is SO big.  So I threw my shoe at it, and it scurried into the crack in the wall.  Maybe it will move into the cabin next door.  It is unoccupied at the moment.

Today is hubby Travis' birthday.  He must be 66 years old!  Here's hoping for many more!

I sort of Skyped with Amy, Phoebe, Connor, and Caleb.  They could hear me, but I couldn't hear them.  They all look good.  I love them all so much.  Son, Crockett, was at work, so missed seeing him.  After we hung up, I went into audio setting and changed the microphone selection.  It's all working again, now.  How do these setting change themselves?  I had a sweet conversation with Amy via Facebook messages.    I practiced my French a little while, too.

It's up to 82 degrees in my room.  I have opened up all the doors and windows, so there is a gentle breeze blowing through.  All the sounds of nature are playing in the background....the music of the spheres, John calls it..

I studied my Natural Hygiene lesson on History of Nature Cure about Harry Benjamin and sent my lesson in to John.

Lunch was watermelon, avocado, young coconut water and meat, banana with almond butter, and Brazil nuts

Temperature got up to 90 degrees by noon. There was a breeze, but it was pretty warm.  I read Iris & Ruby and took a nap.  The afternoon was spent reading, resting, knitting, practicing the flute, and on the computer. 

My plan has been to buy Koala coins to take home to my grand-kids.  I went to the Perth Mint website and they only had four left in stock, so I ordered them  The price was over $50.00 each.  I have more than four grand-kids, so the search continued.  After supper, I found a place called Fort Knox Metals that had them in stock.  They were the exact same coins...manufactured at the Perth Mint.  The price was $35.00 each, so I ordered four more.  How can Fort Knox Metals sell these coins cheaper than the mint?  I don't understand.  I have sent an email to the Perth Mint to see if I can cancel my order with them.  If I can, then I will order more from Fort Knox Metals.

Supper was the rest of my watermelon left over from lunch, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, sauerkraut, and a few pecans.  I took the pecans to my room and ate them later.

I knitted on my scarf until 8:00.  I like knitting.  Of course, this project doesn't take a lot of concentration, so I can let my mind wander...which is what my mind likes to do.

I read in Iris & Ruby until I went to sleep.

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...

Dr. John Fielder's Visit

My Natural Hygiene teacher and mentor, Dr. John Fielder, included us again on his Worldwide Raw Food Lecture Tour.  He arrived at my house on Monday, May 14.  Tuesday we had a raw foods dinner at the house for a few of the people that helped to organize the events here in Arkansas.   Wednesday, the Hot Springs Village Raw Foods Group met at Gulpha Gorge Picnic Area for a picnic with Dr. Fielder.  Wednesday night he made a presentation here in Hot Springs Village about the Principles of Natural Living.  The following night he spoke at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Little Rock.  There was a good crowd at both events.  Dr. John Fielder Here I am introducing Dr. Fielder at the HSV lecture. At the lecture we served some raw food treats for our guests to sample.  One of the items was a chocolate granola bar.  I cut the squares much smaller for this event because of the number of people we had to serve. Chocolate Granola Bars...
