We had a spring-break trip Orlando, FL to Universal Studios and Epcot Center with Molly and the grand-kids.  It was fun.

Then we went to Philadelphia to see the Philly family and had a marvelous time there.

The hardest thing about traveling is trying to eat right.  So even though we had a great time, It's good to be back home and following my little routines that keep me on track.

Lunch today was a green smoothie (kale, coconut water, kiwi, mango, banana, and water); watermelon; avocado; and goody ball.  I ate a little papaya but decided to save it to go in the smoothie tomorrow.

I practiced flute for over two hours today.  The concerts are coming up in a couple of weeks, and I don't feel at all ready.

Clear Creek Gardener is a new nursery not too far from our house.  Travis and I stopped by there on Saturday to check out what they had.  Travis went back over there today and made some purchases for our garden.  We got Ozark Premier Plum, Pristine Apple, Williams Pride Apple, Encore Peach, Harrow Delight Pear, Redheart Plum, Early Loring Peach, Brown Turkey Fig, 2 Ozark Blue Blueberries, 2 Grapevines, 12 tomatoes,  6 peppers, 9 Chandler Strawberries, Aluminum Sufate, Glittering Greensand, and chicken manure.  Looks like we are going to be busy planting trees.

Tomorrow is the day that I meet with a neighborhood group to tell them about raw foods and about Dr. Fielder.  I'm looking forward to meeting these ladies.

The Quintessence of Natural Living points out that the less privileged classes have a longing for culture that makes them ripe for exploitation.  The "junk" offered to the public is actually degrading and dishonest even though it sells because it tempts people to buy it.  It is exploitation.

Health insurance is an example of exploitation.  It exploits our search for health.  Natural Hygiene believes it is exploiting people's ignorance and gullibility.  It sells them "cures" without removing the causes of ill health.  I still pay for health insurance although I have not used it for over four years.

Natural Hygiene would like for people to be free from exploitation.  But even natural publications are not willing to loose advertising dollars for "remedies" such as herbs, acupuncture, wheat grass, apple cider vinegar, honey, molasses, fermented foods, and so on.

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...
