Give it to me Raw

I love this time of the year when the energy begins to flow after the quiet of winter. I had a double treat yesterday on the road to and from my cabin: in the morning the light was playing on my favorite maple tree and I stopped to play with my camera. The old tree has just begun to put out its bright green flowers. On my way home just before sunset and a few hundred yards from the tree, a beautiful full grown male mountain lion crossed the road in front of me. I stopped to watch, but he wasn't going to stop for a photo. He did show me his graceful magnificence as he loped off through the open woods. This was a rare treat, I've only seen one other lion locally in the past 12 years and that was a small young adult at night. The lion's natural local prey is deer, but occasionally they take livestock or someone's pet that has wandered too far from home. It's such a blessing to live in a place where wild things can roam free relatively unmolested.

Yeah, I can't not look at it every time I drive by, which is every time I leave home.

I just assume that a greater part of your mind is occupied with getting beneath ladies undergarmets and it often comes seeping out in your spelling.

I love your seasonal updates. ....spring is such an exciting time of year! I'm loving it, even despite the snow between warm spells.... I know its coming, and it gives me time to ready the forces! when that next warm day comes, I'm hitting the Trellising! Yay!

GRM, This tree is in Humboldt County, Northern California near the King Range Wilderness. It sits in a pasture belonging to a local rancher. One of the benefits of grazing for a tree like this is that it is protected from fire and competition from other trees, so it has grown in full sun adding to it's symmetry.

A food log is a great idea! I hope that you can isolate the cause. They didn't hurt or itch or anything like that, but they didn't look right. At first I thought it was skin cancer or something! I looked up petechiae as Eric recommended in the co...

Yes- they're called petechiae and I've always heard that they are liver-related. They can also be due to anemia and low platelet count. If you also bruise easily, that might be the likely cause. I get them too and they come and go.

Pink Lady Apple, I used to get those. I know exactly what they look like - they are tiny, they can vary in size, they are circular, flat, and very red. They do look like blood blisters, but flat! I stop getting them after I did an extended water...

I really believe that is possible to heal all of the body...regeneration of tissue is not a far fetched concept. There is a case of a man who re-grew a finger, recently! I have to dig to find the article, but I read it on naturalnews.com. Mind you...
