"Do each of these things for a half-hour at least once a day and you're sure to have a healthy, happy life. Get the blood really pumping. Let the sun shine directly on your skin. Express yourself to someone. Be creative. Stretch. Close your eyes and breathe deeply in through the nose and out through the mouth while letting your mind rest. Think of the good things in your life. Turn off the cellphone and close the computer. Go for a walk. Write something down...anything.” Mark “Eyeball” Kneeskern

There will be no manual distribution of the Moon this week. Please print and share!

COMING SOON : Eggplant, Pak Choy (Chinese cabbage), Plum tomatoes and larger Tomato varieties. I am experimenting with growing fruit trees and vines i.e. Figs, Pomegranate and Jujube (Chinese dates) and grapes which are all fruiting in limited amounts and have planted Noni fruit and Cassava which are fast growers in this climate and known for their medicinal and high nutritional value. It all started as a hobby but has become a seven-day a week micro -business and self-sustainability effort. It is hard work but fun since I learn something new everyday and proved to myself that "Anything is Possible" if your intention is good and you DON'T QUIT.

Alpine Animal Shelter. Do you have a cat? Or want another who just happens to be a dog? Ace is a very special, two-year-old pit bull mix who is in the running for world's best snuggler. He is good with cats and when you walk by his kennel, he can barely stand the fact that there is a barrier between you. His good looks and precious white feet (and tail tip!) are just the little extra for Ace's great personality and his ability to fit into almost any family dynamic. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all shots/vaccinations. All Alpine shelter animals are online at https://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TX1202 and for more info, email heatherthemule@gmail.com

Best Riverside Getaways: The following recently appeared in The Dallas Morning News: 5 Riverside Getaways for Active Families (the other 4 ranged from Montana to Ohio and Oregon. 4. Rio Grande River, Big Bend National Park, Texas. This wild and scenic river forms the southern boundary of this 800,000-acre playground. It's the only park in the United States that hosts a complete mountain range -- the Chisos. With older children in tow, soak in the park's scenery as well as the warm water offered by a resident hot spring. On the northern riverbank, steamy water fills the foundation of an old bathhouse, creating a popular natural hot tub. Nearby, look for painted pictographs on the cliff walls as you enjoy a 1-mile loop hike past historic buildings and the area where various Indian groups lived and traveled. Contact: visitbigbend.com.
