After days and days of dreary rain following a slammingly hard 6 month winter, plus a furnace that’s kaput, I’ve had it. And so, apparently has my kitty. Well, he’s not nearly as bummed as I am, but you can see it in his ears and body language.
Ok, so we need the rain for the [...]

If your fingernails are brittle, breaking, cracking, or wimpy weak, there may also be a nutritional deficiency going on. Try eating more raw fruits and vegetables and cutting back on gluten-containing products, especially anything with wheat, like pasta, bread, etc.  If your nails are yellowed from underneath, you may also have

Cherries the fruit, cherry juice, cherry extracts, are all being touted in a new study as being excellent painkillers, especially for those with arthritis. Cherries also seem to have anti-inflammatory properties.
Just give cherries several months to really cut back the pain; there appears to be a cumulative effect, and once you stop eating cherries, the [...]

Great, healthy Fall soup recipe.
Cook in a slow-cooker or crock pot, or regular stove-top. Takes about 8 hours in a crockpot, about 2 stovetop. Feels more like a vegetarian stew than a soup – it’s nice and thick. Very low in fat.
Ingredients:
1 cup dried great Northern beans, picked over and rinsed
6 cups water, or vegetable, [...]

Goldfinch Symbolism:
According to my animal symbolism “Bible”, Animal Speak, the goldfinch animal totem is about “awakening to the Nature Spirits”. To me, it’s also about being seen, heard, and about being active. I also see the goldfinch as being with others of your sort in community, of enjoying food together, of waiting (most [...]
