Planted Corn

I got up at 5:00 to read my Bible chapters.

Travis called me on Skype, so I got to visit with my hubby.  It seems all is well at home.  He's going to get Magic Springs passes Sunday for 2012 for all the Arkansas family.  What fun!

My son, Crockett, had a raw food breakfast and posted a picture on Facebook.  I am one proud Mama.

I planted corn today.  One seed of corn was planted between each pineapple in the pineapple bed.  The corn will grow tall and the pineapples will grow down below.  Maybe I can try this in my little garden at home.  The only corn safe to eat is organic or what you grow yourself.  Most corn in the United States is GMO.  The corn I planted today should be ready to harvest in 100 days.  I won't be here to enjoy it.  I leave for home in 51 more days.

We had a water problem this morning in the shower/toilets.  For the last few days the water has been muddy brown and flowing in a trickle.  Today it stopped flowing at all.  John had to work on it....it's patched up but not fixed.  I believe the problem is that the uptake valve on the pump at the river got washed away during the rain.   But whatever he did, the water is flowing really good for the time being.  It is still brown and smells muddy, though.  I took a shower and washed my hair in muddy water.  I guess I could go to the river...the water there is clear....but it is so cold!

I helped John put much around two trees.  I asked John why we put the amount of much we do around his trees, while Eddie says to put it on a foot thick.  John says it depends on your resources.  If you have lots of water and plenty of mulch, then you can put it on thick.  If you don't have the money to buy so much mulch, then you put on less.  Less mulch also enables your limited water supply to get to the tree easier.

Lunch was awesome!  Eddie came to the kitchen and ate with us.  We had papaya, avocado, yellow sapote, sapadilla, purple star apple, banana with macadamia nut spread, grated coconut in coconut water, and young coconut meat.

I practiced the flute and then knitted on CHH's cap.

We met with Eddie at 2:00.  One of the topics of discussion was the dental arch and the removal of children's wisdom teeth.  Eddie has heard of a treatment where they can widen the dental arch enough to allow room for the wisdom teeth.  The removal of wisdom teeth reduces one's chewing capacity by 20-30%.  Another concern is the indiscriminate use of braces on young kids.  The teeth are connected to the internal organs.  The whole body is affected by these dental procedures.

The body can heal from cataracts.  John's father returned from the war with one eye, one lung, and a body full of shrapnel.  At age 67 he developed cataracts in his only eye and lung cancer in his only lung.  Up until that time he thought that what John taught about a healthy lifestyle was off the planet.  But at this time he made an immediate and total change to the diet and lifestyle that John teaches...completely in harmony with Nature Cure.  His good eye completely healed of cataracts and he lived another twelve years.

We consulted with Ian.  John answered many questions for him.  John recommended he read a book about quantum physics called Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukov.

I played on the computer until supper time.  Eddie sent me the recipe for seed cheese.  I plan to make it when I get home.  Here is the link to the recipe.

Supper was tomato, avocado, cucumber, sauerkraut, radish, parsley, pecans and a date.  All four of us had dinner together....John, Ian, Eddie, and me.



Ian, Eddie and me sat outside our cabins and visited until after dark.  After I went inside, I knitted on the cap and read.

To health and happiness.

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...

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...

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...
