This is the time of year we harvest
everything from the garden and get all the
animals ready for winter. The horses have
been getting extra rations and sweet feed,
the barn cats have heat lamps over their
cozy beds. Even the hen house is ready with
heat lamps and insulation to keep it warm
inside.
The colder weather brings us inside to enjoy
the bounty of our harvest. This
ravioli and vegetable soup is one of my
favorites using all the fresh veggies from
the garden.
Fun fact:
Cats
prefer to eat their food at 86 degrees F
Of course there was an abundance of zucchini
and this is a delicious way to enjoy it. I'm
not very good at baking but I found this
Cooking Light version for
chocolate zucchini cake recipe very easy
to follow. I made it even healthier by
replacing the sugar with a natural sugar or
sugar substitute and using apple sauce to
replace the oil. YUM! It didn't even need
the frosting!
I hope you take time to prepare your animals
for the colder weather. They feel cold and
wind just like we do. Be extra attentive to
the very old animals and the very young
animals. They need extra care and
protection during the colder months.
Fun fact:
Dogs are
omnivorous, they need more than just meat to
flourish
Remember to love your animals each and every
day. They are a gift from God and we never
know how long we will have them in our
lives.
Peace and abundance,
Karen

Dear Karen,
Do animals understand words? I have some
friends who say they don't. I do animal
reiki at a local shelter and feel in my
heart that they were listening to every word
I was saying.
Thank you,
Shelly H
Dear Shelly,
Tell your friends YES! Animals absolutely
understand words. Some if it is by word
association, like saying the word 'treat'
and then they get a treat. Other times they
understand our words by the images that
flash in our minds. For instance, if you
are thinking about taking your dog for a
walk, he may get all excited and run to the
door even before you say anything or get his
leash. How does he know? He has simply
tuned in to your thoughts. As we think or
speak out loud, we form images in our minds
that flash like mini movies or pictures.
Animals are very good at picking up these
images and understanding them. Thank you
Shelly for the wonderful work you do for
shelter animals.
Blessings,
Karen
