Big Stump

Good Morning, NectrHeadz!

It's a great day for a Monday.  Our weatherman says 101 today, 102 tomorrow, question mark on Wed., and cooling down on Thursday!   Not that we're tired of over-100 deg. heat or anything ---- but BRING IT ON!   And can you serve some rain and wind with that?  Thank
you!

FROM THE 'WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?' FILE:

Here's SVP Cora Mandapat with the Terra-bio Tech booth at the Lion's Club Health Fair... sponsoring new reps and sharing the health!

People ask us:  Do booths work?  
Well, the SSF group regularly has booths at  area events and they are enjoying consistent growth.  This product and a booth is a perfect match -- and lots of fun, besides.

There should be a great turnout for the Regional Event in SSF next weekend.  Check your website for registration information.

Had a blast this weekend seeking the big stumps.  Found a couple:

Sierra Tour Guides Max and Linda Montgomery trekked us in places we had no idea existed...  that Chicago tree must have been amazing when it was standing.  Unfortunately it was cut down in sections and shipped to Chicago for World's Fair in 1893 -- where it was pronounced just another California hoax because no one could believe a tree could be that big.  Well, in another 3,200 years there'll be another one that big.  Assuming someone doesn't come along and cut it down.

LET'S PROTECT our big trees, and Rainforests around the globe!  The good thing about protecting rainforests is that they pay for their own protection with harvestable and marketable plants that are good for you.

CHECK OUT NECTR BLENDS today if you don't believe me.

Another amazing thing about the big trees is that their seeds and cones are the SMALLEST of all the forest's pine or fir trees.  We saw GIANT pine cones that squirrels were, well, squirrel-ing away -- just ordinary pine trees.  While the redwoods were no larger around than a 50 cent piece.  With very small seeds, about the size of the kernel of a sunflower seed.  You would never look at the seed and connect it to the giant redwoods.

In fact, I would have picked the giant pine cone to be the precursor of a redwood.  Just shows:  you can't always judge a tree by its cone.

BTW,  In the photo of the booth with Cora above, see the "Are you tired?" banner on the front of the table?    Marlyn Ano got a free t-shirt from Vista Print and she had them print it with that question as the focal point ----  it is a VERY effective walking ad.  Almost everyone you see relates to that question in the affirmative, which opens up a good conversation just where you want it to be opened.  At your Rize button!

Here's wishing you a great day to SHARE THE HEALTH!
