HI, sorry i haven't written much lately. August 23

I've been experiencing a little low energy the past few days. Coupled with my desire to spend as much time outside as possible now that the end of my time here in Berry Creek is zooming towards me, im not on the computer very much.

Out in the meadow and woods yesterday picking blackberries,4 quarts of them. And have been exploring the edge of the meadow and a little bit into the woods with my camera. Also wanting the house tip-top for Mary when she gets home and have washed a few windows and have a few more to go.

The library here is fabulously interesting. I've got to try to focus on sitting still and getting through a couple of them......

As i said low energy, a 2 day detox diet.... and then i had to take benadryl last night for the eczema which returned with a vengence the past week.

I woke up with shakes and aches this morning. Not sure what the shaking is about, It started in the winter, once in a while i wake up trembling. Maybe low-blood pressure. Probably need more activity.

I think a hike up Bald Rock is just what i need. I've been promising myself a view of the valley at sunset, so i guess i'll get busy around here and aim towards that late afternoon hike. It will probably help me get to sleep tonight.

The detox cocktail is really delicious. Try it, 8oz of vegetable juice, 1/3 cup of lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, one handful each of parsley and cilantro, 1/8tsp cayenne pepper and i splash in some natural apple cider vinegar, if i had some brags amino acids id spill a dash of that in too blend with 6 ice cubes till the ice is crushed. Really tasty and does a good job cleaning you out and gives you great nutrients with all those veggies in the juice.

So here's the plan, a little breakfast, shower, garden maintenance, freeze berries, a little house work, pick up the mail, read, drive to Bald Rock trail head and get in a little hike. Take PHOTOS.

just thinking about it brings my energy up a little.

xo love you
