Portrait Saturday, Red Hot Pokers and Raw Food
Our Red Hot Pokers (Kniphofia uvaria), indigenous to South Africa are in full bloom, they are quite spectacular to look at and attract an amazing amount of bird life, bees and insects to our garden:)
Today we went shopping for a juicer and a blender, we are slowly incorporating raw foods into our diet. If anyone has any suggestions on a dehydrator or appliances that they use and love, please could you let me know. It is quite a pricey purchase, so I want to buy the right ones:) We started our day with wheat grass that had been juiced. Jen has planted a large tray of it and today it was ready to juice. She cut all the grass just above the soil and juiced it with some lemons and apples, it tasted really great and is so wonderfully good for you too:) I think we will have to plant more trays of it so we have enough for every morning :)
Oh and I almost forgot, if you know of ANY awesome raw recipes online, please, please redirect me there, thank you kindly:)
When we started looking at a raw food diet, it was like learning a whole new language! Completely different ingredients etc... Now we have been trying different recipes and I must say I feel so much lighter, I have much more energy and I just feel amazing! So onward we go on this journey...
Have a wonderful weekend friends:)

African Skies...
Dear Friends,
Thank you all so much for being such caring, wonderful people! You have all been so supportive. To all of you who phoned, emailed and commented on my blog about my dad, I feel very blessed and honoured to know you all. My father is home now from hospital and is recovering slowly. We are all very relieved and so grateful that he is growing stronger each day:)
This last weekend we went to stay at our friend's lovely farm in Belfast, Mpumalanga. It is a spectacular farm, totally off the grid. All the water comes from a natural spring and the power is solar...lovely!
My love sitting by one of the trout dams...
The road up to the farm...
You can see the solar panels on the side of the farmhouse...
The farmhouse...
I just love these African skies...
Blesbok on the farm, they also have Zebra, Aardvarks, Wildebeest, Springbok etc...
We hiked up this very steep hill to the top, it was amazing!
Playing in the creek of the trout dams...
What an awesome experience, there are so many rocks on the farm that show mechanical weathering erosion, so our visit was an educational one too:)
Wishing you all a wonderful week:)
