it rained again yesterday which is a good thing. it comes in the middle of all the heat we are having.  temperatures are in the mid to upper nineties. the heat index is even higher. the t.v. said there may be a heat related death in topekee. it was an elderly person. people need to check on old people.

hate to sound like an incurable optimist but its the almost weekly rain and the heat that is making the gardens grow. at this time of the year the plants need plenty of sunshine and heat. the two gardens i am taking care of are thriving. so far i have given away 73 pounds of produce. that is just a drop in the bucket compared to what the main crops can produce. in my garden last year i had over 1200 pounds of crooked neck squash that were planted in 20 hills. the tribal gardens i planted have over 60 hills of crooked necks. i also have over 20 rows of indian corn. too early to call but they could produce alot of food if we get the right weather.

i gave my power point presentation yesterday to the staff at our health center. i talked about the gardening program. that was easy. it is something i possess some knowledge of and a subject i can go on and on about. i also gave a tour of the garden to 7 people.  the program i am working on has a line item in it for a website. it was to inform our people about the benefits of growing their own food, having proper exercise and getting screenings. that was shot down by our leaders who have to approve every website. lord forbid we inform people how to improve their health. maybe someday we wont have to live like we are in the dark ages.

i got some free buffet passes from our casinos stand at the fiesta. all i had to do was fill out a card. so my email will get their spam now.  we used the passes last night since tuesday is all you can eat steak night. i swiped my players card to get double points. need all the help i can get there.  i aint a high roller, just a small time gambler. the staff treats me good anyway. seen a few indians that were out and about. you can always find indians at the casino. being indian is a gamble. 

i have been watching the political ads on t.v.   you gotta take what they say with a grain of salt. if you believe every ad you would think all we gotta do is elect the one speaking. the ads usually bad mouth the other ones running. hmmm that sounds familiar. the democrats blame the republicans and vice versa. both political parties are equally guilty of many of the problems we face. i am registered as an independant because i didnt want to be affiliated with either party.

i added a new page to my site. it is called ‘arts and crafts’. i just did that because my niece had a beaded set she finished. i said put it on my site. i get a few people that check out my site. in the future i can add other artists work.

at noon today the week is half over. cant wait for the weekend….
