Area behind the Barn

We have been working behind the barn getting more projects completed.  Or I really should say Gary has.  He got the fence up and he made a flower bed for me.  This is a very restful place morning or evening and has a great view to the east.  Still have ideas of things I want to do.  I wish I could find a before picture so you could really appreciate all that has been done.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Today is my sweet grandmother's birthday. So many wonderful memories of her and so many things I learned from her.  She was a perfect grandmother to me!

New Ideas in Gardening

"Just living is not enough...One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower."

For me, this is very true to my heart.  I can only speak for myself but when I get out in the sunshine whether it is walking, swimming or working in the yard it can totally change my state of being.  You just automatically feel better.  Try it the next time if you are a little down and see if it doesn't cheer you up.  My youngest daughter's anatomy professor just told her class that sunshine activates the pineal gland.  The pineal gland is a sensory organ so there you go.

Over the years, I have read several books and listened to different people talk about the benefits of working in the garden with no gloves and barefooted.  Getting dirt under your finger nails, according to Dr. Jordan Rubin in The Maker's Diet, helps you get needed minerals that are in dirt at the cellular
level.  I've also heard another doctor speak about your DNA getting in the dirt while working around your plants without gloves and the plants picking up on what your body needs and producing that in your vegetables.  I know it sounds a little out there.  I'm not a left brain person and quantum physics is something I wouldn't even try to explain but for the little bit I understand I can see where this would be true. 

Now, I would like to tell you about something I have been reading.  This is a lady from Russia who has some ideas that I have never heard of before.  One idea that I found very interesting is taking your seeds that you are going to plant and putting them in your mouth and holding them there in your saliva for 9 minutes.  I know that seems like a long time, it did to me.  Then take them out and pat the seeds between your palms and breath on the seeds.   Plant the seeds but do not water for 3 days.  Plant according to the moon. I think that means to plant on a full moon.  She says, "when the seedlings start to sprout don't remove nearby weeds because that will protect the plants from insects, also touch your plants during every full moon cycle."  Consume the produce within 3 days of harvesting it.  She says that if you are lacking any thing in your body or if you have a disease what you have planted will heal you.  I know, I know this sounds out there but we really don't know what can happen on a quantum level.  If you have never watched Water, The Great Mystery it's very interesting and worth watching.  You can find it on You tube.  I am going to be doing this in about 4 weeks.  I'm planting a fall garden and I'll let you know what happens.

Pasta with Burst Tomatoes and Mascarpone and An Old Dessert with a little twist!

Our daughters came down Friday afternoon for a visit and I wanted to have something fresh from the garden as much as possible.  My new Southern Living had come several days before and I found this recipe that we all  loved. Pasta with Burst tomatoes and mascarpone.  I changed it up just a bit and also put little dollops of my basil pesto on it too. YUMMY! Here's the recipe.

1-24 ounce package of frozen cheese-filled ravioli (we used fresh and I think it is better)
3 pints of assorted grape tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic, chopped - I used about 4 cloves (we like garlic)
3 tablespoons of olive oil
1/4 cup of butter, cubed
2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup of torn herbs, basil and parsley
1-8 ounce container of mascarpone cheese

Prepare pasta according to package directions.

Preheat broiler with oven rack 4 to 5 inches from heat.  Stir together tomatoes, garlic and oil in a large jelly roll pan.  Broil 5 to 8 minutes or until tomatoes are charred or burst , stirring half way through.

Transfer tomato mixture to a large bowl and add butter, lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Add half of the herbs and spoon in hot pasta and mix well.  Sprinkle with remaining fresh herbs then put into individual pasta bowls and top with dollops of mascarpone cheese and basil pesto if you have it.

Now for the old dessert with a new twist.  I haven't had pull apart bread or it also used to be called monkey bread in ages. It had really been on my mind and sounded really good.  Being the chocoholic that I am, I thought it would be good to make a chocolate sauce to dip the pull apart in.  It was good.
I served the pull apart in a section with a little 2 ounce cup of chocolate sauce.

I bought frozen rolls that have to rise.  I let them un thaw about 30 minutes. Spay a bundt pan with oil.  Melt one stick of butter and in a separate bowl mix 1 cup sugar with 1 -2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Take one roll and cut it into fourths dip in butter and then roll in sugar mixture in put into bundt pan. Keep repeating this until you have used all the rolls.  Set in a warm place until the rolls double in size.  They will rise up to the top of the pan and then bake at 375 for 25 minutes. When you remove it from the oven turn the pan upside down onto a serving platter.  If you like pecans, you can also add chopped pecans during the assembling of the dough into the bundt pan. 

Chocolate Sauce
1-6ounce pkg semisweet chocolate morsels
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
dash of salt

Combine chocolate chips and butter in top of a double boiler, bring water to boil and reduce heat until chocolate melts, stirring often.  Stir in powdered sugar and remaining ingredients.  Keep stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth.

We ate pretty healthy for dinner but we sure blew it on dessert! :)    Oh well, it was Friday!

All Natural Insect Repellent

This is the best all natural insect repellent I have ever used.  It is made from essential oils - lemongrass, lavender as well as other essential oils, distilled water, witch hazel and coconut emulsifier are the ingredients.  Can't get better than that. You can also put this on your pets.  Mosquitoes fly above the heads of my cats and this repellent sends them trucking.

Mosquitoes love me and they will come after me even through my clothes but when I have the repellent on I never have a problem.  You don't want to get it in your eyes but I even spray it around my head because they will go after my face.

I can't tell you how important it is to use something natural like this and not the deadly chemicals that are in the insect repellents you buy at the store.  They are deadly and I cringe when I think that adults spray this on their children thinking they are protecting them. 

The owner of this company is a true entrepreneur and I hope you will support her.  The company is called  "eScential Creations, 39 Point Drive, Fayette, Maine  04349.  Phone number is 207-685-9874.  It comes in 3-8 oz. bottles in an order for $35.00 and that includes shipping and handling. Just give her a call and they fill and ship your order promptly.

My Cantaloupes Are Ripe!

These are called Melon Golden Jenny (an heirloom).  They are succulent, sweet little 2 pound beauties.  My first time to grow cantaloupes.  They let go of the vine when they are ripe.  I was out picking things from the garden yesterday evening and saw that they had turned yellow and the smell was so sweet.  I was so happy to taste how wonderful they are.  I have already started saving the seeds so if any one would like some, I would love to share with you. I was reading about these cantaloupes and they are a version of the Jenny Lind variety. 

I forgot to take a picture of one cut open but I will post one soon so you can see the inside. 

Food Straight From Heaven

Basil Pesto, greens for juicing, fresh salsa and my lunch today....fresh tomatoes with basil pesto.  I can't even begin to tell you how good this was.  I love basil pesto.  It's just wonderful and it goes so great with so many things.  My youngest son called while I was making the pesto and he put his order in.  He loves it as much as I do.  The fresh salsa is to eat with the brown beans I'm cooking for dinner.  It's nice to not have to go to the store to buy all the food you need to eat not to mention the quality is a thousand times better.  If you don't have a recipe for pesto, here's mine.

2 tightly packed cups of fresh basil
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Pack in all in the blender and let it go.  You might need a little more olive oil.  Store with a thin layer of olive oil on top of the pesto in an air tight container in the frig for up to 10 days or freeze up to 4 months.

Other uses for basil pesto:

add to unsalted butter for herb butter
spread on bread as a condiment for sandwiches
serve on steamed vegetables
use as a topping or sauce for pizza
use on grilled chicken or fish
put inside a warmed tortilla
toss pesto with hot pasta

Fresh Salsa

As many fresh tomatoes as your blender will hold
1 large sweet onion, quartered
1 1/2 to 2 Serrano peppers, cut in chunks
3 to 4 cloves of fresh garlic
salt to taste

Put all the ingredients into the blender and pulse.  I like salsa that is a little chunky especially to eat with brown beans. 

P.S.  Aren't the colors pretty .....red and yellow tomatoes and the green pesto.

Enjoy!

ENJOY!

Come Visit Chickasha

Let me see if I can lure you to Chickasha for a visit.  We have our Farmer's Market every Tuesday and Saturday mornings from 7:00 to Noon.  Come early because the early bird really does get the goods down here.  Mrs. Foster from Windmill Corner Farms sells farm fresh eggs as well as baked goods, jellies and relishes.  I get the sweetest onions and great okra, peas from a man who gardens around Lindsay.  The couple from Windy Hill Farms in Rush Springs has wonderful vegetables also as well as the best pickled yellow squash I've ever tasted.  It is wonderful with brown beans really wonderful with just about anything you would eat pickles with.  She also has wonderful salsa and other canned goods. There is a farmer that comes from Rush Springs every Saturday with the best watermelon and cantaloupes you've ever tasted.   Mr. Herman Stephens sells about the best local honey I've tasted.  His phone number is 224-4529.  He said, "to give him a call and he can have your order ready to go."  The Farmer's Market is located in the parking lot of the YMCA.  It's not hard to find.  I'm terrible at directions so just stop at any gas station in the area and they can tell you how to get there.

After your stop at the Farmer's Market, you have to go to Ross Feed and Seed.  It's the great hardware store in town and it's just several blocks from the Farmer's market.  Again, ask someone at the market and they can point you in the right direction. It's really not far.  The first 3 or 4 pictures are from Ross hardware.  They have a home décor section and I just love it.  They have wonderful kitchen towels.  The old flour sack kind that get soft and soak up the water when drying dishes.  They're great and they have wonderful colors and patterns.  Plus, you will enjoy just walking through the hardware part of the store and in the back they sell seeds.  I love it! 

There are several new antique malls on main street.  Just one block to the south of Ross.  Lots of creative people in this area....you'll find something you love.

Last but certainly not least, you can't leave Chickasha without eating at J.W. Grill again just a block away. The last picture says it all.....slaw dogs and not pictured but get chili cheese fries and a big root beer.  OMG you will need a nap before you drive home. 

Come for a visit to this small farming community.  The people are friendly and you'll leave feeling good!

Eggplant Parmesan

I am getting lots and lots of eggplant so I made us eggplant Parmesan yesterday for dinner.  I made up the recipe as I was making it and I was very pleased with the way it turned out.  I also want to show you these yellow tomatoes.  They are heirloom and they have a wonderful flavor.  Although they are called lemon tomatoes there is not the slightest taste of lemon but the flavor is great.  These mixed with red and black tomatoes make a beautiful presentation.  Alternate the different colors and drizzle some balsamic syrup over the top with thinly sliced basil ....it's heaven!

1 large eggplant, medium slice, I didn't peel mine but you can is you desire.
2 cups flour
2 eggs plus 1 cup milk, whisk
3 tablespoons of Italian seasoning, add to flour and mix well
salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
1 jar of Ragu
1-16 ounce mozzarella cheese, grated
1 to 2 cups of coconut oil or veggie oil
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

After slicing the eggplant put it on a baking sheet and salt, pepper and garlic powder both sides.  Put your oil in a large skillet and let it start to heat up.  Have an assembly line with flour and egg wash.  First put eggplant into flour  pat both sides then dip into egg wash and then back into flour.  Then place eggplant into hot grease (325  to 350 degrees).  Let both sides get golden brown and remove and rest on a paper towel.  Continue until all slices have been cooked.  In a small casserole dish, put some of the ragu in the bottom (if you want to make homemade marinara, that's great) then place a layer of the fried eggplant, sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese, then top with some mozzarella cheese, continue this process and top with the remaining mozzarella.  I didn't quit use the whole 16 ounces and I didn't use the whole jar of Ragu.  I didn't want the eggplant smothered in sauce.  Bake for 30 minutes at 375. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.

I didn't do this but some fettuccine Alfredo would be wonderful with this.  My favorite Italian restaurant serves their eggplant Parmesan with fettuccine Alfredo.   The Alfredo sauce with their wonderful marinara sauce .....well, my mouth is watering!

My husband loved this so that has to tell you it was pretty good.  It reminded him of lasagna.

Old Garden Area

This is the old garden area where I have seven raised beds.  This used to be so well kept.  It was a beautiful garden about 10 years ago.  The picket fence rotted, something happened to the water line that goes to this garden and it became more than I could handle.  In the day, I had a wonderful asparagus patch, blackberries, really the size of quarters along the back rail fence.  I have grown everything in this area.  Three of the raised beds have rotted and they need to be replaced.  This is a little bit of info for you in constructing raised beds.  We did not use cedar and our raised beds lasted almost 20 years. 

I have just been mowing down this area this summer and thinking about what I wanted to do with it.  My other garden area is just about all I can handle but I thought if I could get my raised beds going again that they are easy to take care of.  So my plan is to replace the rotten raised beds and just to mow all the rest of this space.  I have cleaned out the rail fence and I'm going to put blackberries back in that space.  I'm going to use a couple of raised beds for asparagus, one for cantaloupe, one for watermelon and maybe strawberries in a couple.  Anyway, that's the plan.  Gary has already started rebuilding the picket fence for me. 

I had planned on this being an early fall project but after the rain on Monday I got out there and started working.  It was cool and misting rain and the weeds were popping out so easily......well, I over did it.  I majorly pulled a muscle in my lower back.  I don't use prescription drugs but I was thinking I wished I had a muscle relaxer.  My dear friend and cohort oily (essential oils) called and I told her about my back.  I was out of PanAway which is great for pulled muscles and inflammation.  She suggested using wintergreen which I did not have, but I had peppermint and clove which is in Pan Away. I mixed the two oils with a little Jojoba oil in the palm of my hand and rub that over the area that was hurting and within an hour it totally relaxed that muscle.  I was amazed!  Essential oils never cease to amaze me.  So for several days, I didn't do much.  I did enjoy the rain and the cool weather.  What a wonderful blessing and break in the middle of summer. 

Most people I know are concerned about the economy.  A dear friend from homeschooling days called me back in the spring and was asking what I was doing about "prepping."  I think this was a blog entry but I would like to say this again.  Back in the Y2K days we were buying and storing and doing all sorts of things and my friend did too.  That's why she was wondering what I was doing in preparation for whatever is going to happen.  I told her and I would like to suggest to you that all I'm doing is buying heirloom seeds and getting all my garden areas as ready as I can.  I'm also going to prepare or I should say Gary and I are going to prepare a cold frame so we can grow greens in the winter.  This is what I have felt inspired to do other than to have a good medical kit and medical supplies.  If you have room, fruit trees would be nice to have.

Wonderful Summertime Meal and Cornbread for Two

Yesterday, we had all of these wonderful summer vegetables for dinner.  Blackeye peas, steamed yellow squash, new potatoes, fried okra, garden tomatoes and sweet onions from the garden and last but not least is my wonderful cornbread.

Since it's just the two of us now, it has been a challenge for me to cut quantities in cooking for just two people.  We both enjoy cornbread but I usually end up throwing away quite a bit of it.  Closer to the holidays, I will freeze left overs to use for dressing.  So yesterday when I was making cornbread I decided to cut the recipe in half.  I thought you might like to have a good cornbread recipe for two people.

3/4 cup of cornmeal
1/4 cup of flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon soda
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk

Mix all ingredients together.  Melt a little bacon drippings in a cast iron skillet or baking dish or one tablespoon of butter.  Then pour the ingredients into the skillet.  Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes.

We really like the flavor of onion in our cornbread so I chopped a small onion and added to the mixture.  I have also used this basic recipe and added one jalapeno pepper chopped, onion chopped and cheddar cheese for a Mexican flare to go with brown beans.  It's very good!  It's hard to tell from the picture but the cast iron skillet that I used for this amount is about a 8 inch skillet. 

My dad always crumbled left over cornbread into a glass of milk.  I can remember getting bites from him as he was eating that but it doesn't appeal to me now.  I thought it might appeal to some one.  This cornbread recipe does make wonderful dressing for the holidays.

Wishing you a wonderful week.

Wonderful Delicacys

When I started shopping at The Natural Grocers in Norman, I came across this wonderful jelly.  It is made in France and it is all natural, no sugar, sweetened with fruit juice.  My husband and I love it.  They have just about every flavor you can think of.  Probably other health food stores carry it but I don't shop at a lot of other places so I can't tell you that for sure.  Lately, my husband and I have gotten hooked on sour dough toast with this jelly.  Oh my goodness, I tell can't tell you how wonderful this taste.  Sour dough bread makes the most wonderful toast.  I love things that are crunchy and sour dough gets very crunchy in the toaster.  Treat yourself to a loaf of sour dough bread and a jar of this jelly.  I think I'm pretty safe in saying you will love it!

Now for Kombucha.  My oldest daughter turned me on to this my moons ago.  She was consulting a health professional who suggested trying Kombucha in place of soda pop.  It has lots of health benefits and it is a great alternative when you would like to have a pop.  It is fizzy like a carbonated drink and comes in all kinds of flavors.  It is a wonderful probiotic.  The man that invented this did so to help his mom fight cancer.  As usual, the FDA, entered in and several years ago made him redo his drink because they thought it had to high of an alcohol content.  For almost a year you couldn't buy it.  It is pricey but well worth the money.  The best prices I have found are again are at the Natural Grocer and especially  when they have it on sale.  I think Sprouts runs it on sale occasionally also.  When I have these on hand I will drink one for my lunch.  I have taken the bottles and soaked the label off and use the glass bottles for drinking water.  I keep about 6 in our frig all the time.  When you get an ice cold glass bottle with water it is so good.  Nothing gets cold like glass........it's just the best!  Not to mention the health benefits of not drinking from a plastic bottle and the trash issue of all the plastic. 

This rain is so wonderful, I know everyone is enjoying it.  I took all of my house plants outside this morning and set them in the yard to get all of the rain.  I'll bring them in this evening after they have had a wonderful drink.

I plan on kicking back and resting today and I may even take a nap.
Have a restful Sunday!

Cherry Tomatoes

If you don't grow cherry tomatoes, I would like to encourage you to try a couple of varieties next year.  They are easy to grow and usually very prolific.  You can grow cherry tomatoes in a large pot on the patio or in your flower bed.  I have two planted in my herb garden.  They need six hours of full sun and well drained rich soil. Once you start growing these you will never stop.  They are so sweet and colorful.  They look beautiful in salads or pasta.....they liven things up with their beautiful colors and taste.

Here are some of the varieties I chose this year; Black Cherry (it's pictured in the yellow bowl).  This is the first year I have tried this one.  It is full flavored, acidic, has dark red fruit on very strong plants.  I really like it but it's not my favorite.  Sun Gold (one of my favorites) very sweet, orange fruit and the plant is prolific.  Cherry Falls is sweet, cherry pink fruit.  This one is also prolific and it does well in pots or this one would do well in a hanging basket.  Sweet Million is super sweet and has long trusses of tiny delicious tomatoes.  This tomato is so sweet if is burst before you get it off the vine it is sticky.  Sweet Baby Girl is a smaller plant than the others it is sweet with red fruit.  Lemon Cherry is one I want to try.  I couldn't find it this year but I hope to find it next year. 

I had so many cherry tomatoes last year that I used them to make my Tomato Jam.  I also made roasted cherry tomatoes and this is so wonderful.  Here's the recipe.

4 pints of cherry tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sugar

Bake at 350 in a jelly roll pan 1 hour and 20 minutes.  Remove and discard garlic.  Stir in 1.2 cup chopped fresh basil, 2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar, and 1/2 salt. 

You can put this over some pasta or put a spoon full on a crosstini.  It's delicious.

I just got home from the Farmer's Market in Chickasha.  It was wonderful this morning.  You could smell the sweetness in the air from all the produce.  I got wonderful cantaloupes and a huge watermelon from Rush Springs.  They also had fresh okra......guess we'll be having some fried okra either tonight or tomorrow. 

Summer is GREAT!

My Garden

The first picture is of my cherry tomatoes.  I have about 6 plants in that section and there are 3 different varieties.  A lot of the tomatoes are the size of my little finger (they are ripe) and some of the shapes are elongated  instead of round and  the leaves are teeny tiny, thanks to chem trails. So far this year the tomatoes are making 1/3 of what they produced last year. 

The vacant plot I'm going to use for a fall garden.  The next area is where I had spinach and lettuce which is gone because of the heat but my eggplant are doing great. The next area are my large heirloom tomatoes.  They all look pretty good but some have a good amount of green tomatoes and one plant is large and it has nothing yet. 

The next picture is my cantaloupe.  I am really excited about them.  So far, I have six.  I was concerned about the cantaloupe lying in the water and mud after watering and I read you can put a paver or brick under them or use straw.  I opted for straw because if the sun is shining on the brick I thought that might make them hotter than they should be. 

The last picture is from a magazine.  I love these steps, so natural!  This may not be new to you but I had never seen this before and thought I would share it with you.

Eternal Truth

I was reading a couple of days ago and came across this information which I thought was very interesting. 

In five different religions this fact is stated and taught as part of their belief system.

Christianity - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Buddhism - Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.

Judaism - What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow man.  That is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary.

Islam - No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself.

Baha"i Faith - Blessed is he who preferreth his brother before himself.

I didn't know that all of these different religious beliefs believed this truth.  It's evident that this is an eternal truth.  I was thinking after I read this, if only we would all practice this what a different world this would be.

Looking for a few New Clients

All of our children are working and going to school and about six months ago I was trying to think of a way I could help simplify their lives.  I talked to them and asked how I could help and this is what they came up with.  I cook for them sometimes every week or every other week, depending upon their needs.  It has been so helpful to them, they love it and it really helps them with their busy schedules.  After thinking about this, I thought this might be a service I could offer to busy households where both husband and wife are working or you may be retired and not interested in cooking now because you want to spend your time doing other things.

Life can be hectic and challenging these days and after a long day at the office it is usually a fast trip through the drive through or something thrown together at home that you would rather not eat.  To come home to a good nutritious meal that would take little preparation would give you more time to spend with family or to do the things you would enjoy.

I will prepare food that will last five or six days.  The first day will be a hot meal ready for you when you get home.  The other days, the food will be prepared in the frig either already to eat or it may just need to be placed in the oven to cook.

I have recipes for the conservative calorie counter to wonderful comfort foods.  I can make any desserts if you are interested in that.  I will prepare the food at your home and will leave directions on what has been prepared and what preparations need to be done. I can do this weekly or every other week.

If you are interested, I would love to sit down and talk with you about this and give you all the details.  I am looking for 3 or 4 more clients.  You can contact me at ggschwartz2@juno.com and I will get in touch with you.

Re-arranging Outdoor Pots

These are some pots that have sat on my front porch forever.  A couple of weeks ago, I decided to move them into the flower bed.  I like them a lot better there.  As I look at these pictures, I think the pot of the left could be moved a little more to the left. 

Just some ideas of what you could do with large pots.  They don't always have to sit on the porch or patio.

Lots to Talk About

First, let me tell you about these pictures.  I have lots of different containers around our farm and I started thinking of ways I could put something in them without going to buy it.  I have lots of morning glories coming up from seed so I started transferring them to various locations and that is what these pictures are all about.  I have a succulent in the middle of this wheel barrow that I transferred along with some morning glories.  I love vines that flower and I would have them everywhere.  Eventually maybe that will happen.  :) 

If you don't have a pouch of chewing tobacco in your freezer, be sure and get one.  I have one in my freezer from last year.  I was stung yesterday by a wasp.  That is a very painful sting and I immediately came inside and got the tobacco, put a little water on it to dampen it, put it in a paper towel that was damp and wrapped it around my finger.  It's the perfect remedy, works every time.  No swelling and after a short time the pain is gone. 

Also, several months ago I had a post on using white vinegar for weeds.  The vinegar did kill the weeds for a short time but I saw a post on facebook where the recipe called for one cup of salt to a gallon of vinegar with a few drops of liquid soap.  I tried this and it works a lot better and last a lot longer.

In the winter I had a post on the book The Healing Codes.  If you haven't read it, I would just like to encourage you again to read it.  I have had wonderful results with the healing codes.  I was taking a natural supplement for blood pressure and for the last two months I have not needed it. I am sleeping a lot better.  I would normally sleep about 5 maybe 6 hours on a good night and now I'm sleeping 7 hours and a lot more sound.  My son called me on Friday and had a fever of 102 and a pounding headache.  I told him how to do the healing codes over the phone and he sent me a text and in about an hour his fever was gone and his headache had improved majorly.  I've been trying to get all my kids to read the book but they are busy and have school books to read but I think this made a believer out of him.

I need to get outside and start watering.  Looks like it's going to be a hot week.  Let's pray for another one of those cool fronts to make it our way.  Have a productive week and give your love to all of those in need!
