rancho santa fe

Sightseeing today in Rancho Santa Fe. It is located in the north county of San Diego. It is not the average place to live but it was on our Trip List of things to see today. If you are wondering what an average home looks like. Here is a link of the homes for sale there presently, click here. We took a walk down the main street to window shop. We passed by The Inn and I took pictures of the long green and flowering walk way. The Inn is an historic place we visited on our day trip in Rancho Santa Fe.

you are not alone

I am a hopeless romantic and I still remember my first love through this song. One of my favorite songs is You are not Alone by Michael Jackson. Michael's funeral is this morning. I will fondly remember him.

"You are not alone" by Michael Jackson

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
and leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You've always in my heart
But you are not alone
'Lone, 'Lone, Why, 'Lone
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
but you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there, I'll be there
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
for I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone.....

Song by Michael Jackson

fireworks

Last night we watched fireworks from on top of our water tower almost 20 feet high in back end of our acreage. We have a well. I braved it through the climb up there and really never felt safe while sitting there. The neighbors sounded their excitement when a great burst and sparkle lit up the sky. I found a video on fireworks from last night. Though it's not from where I am it was nice to see. Fireworks July 4th, 2009 in New York City viewed.

food as fuel

Food is an important part of living well or it can be an addiction. In my life it is a support to healthy living in addition to exercise. Tammey Burns is on the Today Show and in her past food "was" and addiction and "now" is referred to "fuel" to her body. The mind can do wonderful helpful things in our life with positive thoughts.

close-up of grapes growing

This is a close-up picture of some of the grapes newly forming on my vines.

champagne grape vines

I have Champagne grapes growing in the front yard near a side patio. I have recently pruned and fixed the trailing vines. If there are signs of insects I use an organic spray mix. In 2 gallons of water I add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons organic dish soap and mix. I have a 2 gallon hand pump sprayer I purchased at Home Depot around $20 or so. If signs of white flies then spray underside and top of leaves once then follow one more time 3 days latter. Only spray if white flies are present. This mix disturbs the eggs and flies present. Waiting a few days then spraying again disturbs the newly hatched flies and stops the insect infestation.

Today is a good day to harvest some of the zucchini squash that have grown for dinner. The day before yesterday I laid down a drip system for the raised planter and down behind the potted plants then leading into the green house.

antioxidants in blueberries

The benefits of blueberries are found in two articles I've recently read. The first article describes blueberries as a Superfood.   Blueberries have health benefits such as positive effect on nervous system, increase cognitive functions and reasoning as well as increase muscle function and regeneration.  Also, within another article eating 2/3 cup of blueberries gives you more antioxidants than several servings of apples and squash.  I like to buy my blueberries at Costco where they are in large volumes for savings. My visit yesterday for my local grocery lookout price was 10lbs for $10.49 Blueberries frozen. Other great antioxidant foods 2-1/2 lbs for $3.79 Spinach and 48 oz (1,360 g) for $7.79 Craisins sweetened dried Cranberries.
