My day started at about 7 am, normal, then Brenda's brother gave us a call that he was out of work and could help build the Water Therapy room I had been working on, we were able to get 2 walls up and plan on starting at 7:30 am and get the trustes up tomorrow if all goes well. That was about 8 hours of straight work and many tons of tons of wood to make 58 feet of wall 10 feet tall and covered in osb.
The UPS truck came and naturally I did not ship any packages, but received 8 PACKAGES of raspberry plants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One day early and it had rained all last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was 400 plants about 3-4 feet tall and in perfect condition, some even had berrys on them. Well, they had to be planted and there is no time till Sunday to even think about it; so I had to do it in the dark. I started when it was about dark and planted until 9:30 PM and got 300 planted, my car lights would not shine far enough to plant the last 100. The ground was so muddy that I could not wear my sandles and I had been in steel toed shoes all day doing the construction, so over 3 hours barefeet in the cold wet mud was delightful. I dug all 300 holes with my bare hands; I had prepared the soil earlier in the week and had the rows marked with string, so it was easy to dig the holes by hand.
I was tired by the end of the construction and once barefoot and in the mud, my strength was renewed as the body was grounded to the soil.
It was a GREAT DAY because two long dreamed about projects were coming to light. I have so many raspberry plants now that it looks like a commercial berry farm. The water therapy room has been a 25 year dream, so today was just the Ideal Day and loads of FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People are always asking what I eat; today I stopped at 2 pm and drank 1 quart of orange juice with about 2 ounces of Longevity Spices added, @ 9:30 when I stopped and started the computer, I drank 1 quart of the same and just finished it. When I open a quart bottle, I always drink the whole quart and normally in just a few minutes. So that's 1/2 gallon of Lakewood orange juice and 4 ounces of Longevity Spices. I feel as good if not better than I did at age 21. At age 50 I consider people to still be children, I truely believe the old education that humans are not adult until age 120. Sadly we are all so diseased that we all show signs of disease that we have grown to call old age.
Idealy I would like the fruit farm to be for people to stop by and EAT direct from the vine,all they can eat and take nothing home with them. The idea being to fill their bellies as full as they desire and thats all they need for the day. The fruit being in season and eaten live!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Naturally the locals would think me loco for such an idea, so most likely we will eat the fruits and the other 95% will go to the birds and insects. I will freeze as much as we need, but that is so small amount compared to how much fruit these trees and plants produce each year.
The building and plants will last for a very long time; knowing this brings pleasure and future enjoyment. This is what brings happiness; if I had won a bunch of $$$ it would bring temporary happiness, but nothing near so satisfying as a good days work.
Sorry for the few people waiting on products, I will be too busy till Monday! Hope you can understand! Winter is coming fast and I have to do these few outdoor things to get ready for cold weather.
Speaking of cold, the ground was wet and very cold, but my feet were fine and I only had a tea shirt on. When I used the hydrant to wash the mud off my feet and hands, it felt very warm; for 55 degree water to feel warm, my feet and hands had to be working in wet cold soil colder than 55 degrees; but I felt very comfortable as long as I was working.
I wish everyone could have such wonderful days! I can't help but think of the many people who don't even live to see age 50 and how people self destroy their bodies to the point they dread every day of life!
"PITCH" the shoes and socks, correct the diet and learn to live. We were educated as children to learn how to die, but never to live!
