Rainy Day

I woke up early but didn't get up until 5:15.  I have some detox symptoms...thirsty and bad taste in my mouth.  I read my Bible, and then worked on the computer.

I cleaned my cabins and cleaned out my Lugable Loo.  I cleaned in the dining room and kitchen until 11:00.  It was a good start, but there will be more work to be done in the kitchen tomorrow.

There is a wasp nest in the bathroom.  When I got out of the shower, I flung the towel up to go over my wet hair and one of those suckers stung me.  Other than the initial sting, it didn't bother me.  I can't even see where it stung me.

Lunch was half of a watermelon and half of a coconut (not grated).  I took it to my cabin and ate while I read a condensed Mary Higgins Clark book called You Belong to Me.

About 3:30 p.m. it started to look like rain.  I decided to go up to the kitchen and get the food for my supper and bring it to my cabin so I wouldn't have to go out in the rain.  I ran into Jonathon when I was leaving the dining room.  We had a nice long chat and then went over to check out the yellow sapotes to see if there were any ripe ones.  We found three ripe ones, and Jonathon took them home with him.

When I got back to my cabin, the rain started.  It was my first tropical thunderstorm.  The wind blew so hard that my curtains were standing straight out and all the loose things were blowing around in my room.  I had to shut the windows and doors!  It sounded like hail hitting the roof, but Eddie said it was twigs and limbs blowing out of the trees.

Supper was avocado, lemon, cucumber, sauerkraut, pecans, date, and star apple.

After the storm, the sun popped out for a while.

Eddie says he's feeling better today.  He's reading about how to prevent tooth decay.  He's interested in this right now because his son has three cavities.

It began to rain again, but it wasn't as stormy.  I took my laptop back to the office at 5:30 to get ready for John's call.  At 6:00 I got Eddie over to the office for his consultation.  For some reason, John never called.  So Eddie and I just looked at my Facebook page and talked about food until 6:45 when we gave up on John.

Eddie told me about a way to make seed cheese using Rejuvelac as a starter.  I need to get that recipe.  He explained that as we age our bodies cannot digest meat very well.  We don't need a lot of meat or fish as we get older.

Still raining.  I knitted on my cap and finished You Belong to Me.

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...
