A New Day, A New Month

Hello everybody! Hope your Monday is off to a good start…for a Monday. Here's a recap with some pics taken from the weekend.
peekaboo!
I’m still dreaming about yesterday – the weather here was most incredible. Simply gorgeous and wonderful to be outside and soak in the sun (not all pics shown were taken yesterday - Saturday's weather wasn't as spectacular as Sunday's).


Of course, the weekend was filled with garden time but it was the weekend we needed to have our garden in shape for the season. Being part of a community garden there are rules to be kept and meeting the cultivation deadline is one of them. It’s all good though. We hired a nephew to come weed (yay). I’d do it but someone’s gotta keep up with YS2! So while nephew weeded the strawberry bed, Yardsnacker tilled the plots. It’s looking good now. Soon we’ll be planting all of our goodies.


We went for several walks this weekend too – along with everyone else it seems in the neighborhood. That means lots of dogs and that also means YS2 is in dog heaven! Lots of slobber was swapped between boy and beast – one cutie little doggie and him were the best of pals and just loved each other so much! The cutie dog’s owner melted over Caleb’s love for her pooch that she had to give Caleb a hug and a kiss. Caleb was a little apprehensive and stuck to my leg like velcro. It’s one thing if you’re a dog wanting a kiss but a whole ‘nother thing if you’re a person. Ha ha! One day we’ll have a dog but until then he can enjoy everyone else’s (with permission of course). While at the park (the garden is next to a dog park and pet memorial [I don't like calling it a pet cemetery and I'm not sure it even is one]) he got to see and interact with lots more dogs. This boy has no fear and loves each dog, big or small, bark-y or quiet. If he can’t give the dog a love and a kiss then he blows it a kiss.

I grew up with different animals including many dogs and cats and loved them all but I can’t say I had the same affection YS2 has for animals (bugs too). Although, I do have a soft spot for cats. I’m more of a cat person than anything else. I’m not a fan of birds or fish as pets – for me personally that is. Too much responsibility aka cleaning.

Yesterday’s weather was so amazing and so perfect for May Day that it was the perfect day for having a baby! Congrats to my brother-in-law and his wife on their new son! We’re so happy he’s here and healthy and mama too – can’t wait to meet him.


I tried a new kombucha. Well, new to me. It’s called Bucha and I found it at Whole Foods. It was more expensive at $4 for a 16 oz bottle. I wasn’t that impressed. I mean for the price alone it wasn’t worth it and most likely wouldn’t buy it again - well, maybe - depending on my options. When I buy a kombucha I’ll stick with GT’s – it’s cheaper and tastes better. Home brew is good stuff and is way cheaper than all of them.


Off I go to make myself useful. Today’s weather is far different than yesterday’s. ;(

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding ...

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes...

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow...
