August has been full of summer heat, smells, noises and activities! Here where I live, the hills have been alive this week with the thunder of motorcycles going to Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Rally time is a sign that summer has been here, but is quickly on its way out. Summer in the Black Hills of South Dakota is slow in arriving, stays briefly and flies away fast!

So far this summer, I've gotten 3 rounds of green beans and cucumbers from my organic heirloom garden. I'm excited for the coming tomatoes, corn, carrots, beets and melons! There's nothing like eating your own home grown food!

My family has also been working hard renovating our historical house, and we have finally taken time to enjoy BBQ's and visiting with family and friends.

Last night, my daughter and I took a late night walk under the clear star filled sky. The weather was perfect, and I don't want it to end!

I imagine you have been enjoying some of the same types of activities. However, if you are like my family, you have a very long to do list and it's hard to take time to relax. I've learned the hard way that it's important to recharge your mind, body, spirit and soul. I encourage you to take time to breath, relax and spend time with loved ones.

In this newsletter, I'm going to share my UNexact cucumber recipe along with a few food links I think you'll find of interest.

But first, I would like to thank those that responded to my last request for input on my website. I greatly appreciate your feedback and because of the positive support I received, I will be continuing work on NaturalHealthGirl.com. Since I have a busy summer, some of the bigger changes won't happen till later this Fall when things slow down, but I will keep you posted on new things as they arise.

One of the first changes I'll be making is to my store. So, next month, when you visit my website, the store links for Nature's Sunshine products will no longer be working.

Nature's Sunshine products have made a world of difference in the health of my family. If you want and need high quality herbs, supplements, essential oils or personal care products, I highly recommend one of the leaders in the natural health industry for the past 30 years, Nature's Sunshine. Their standards are very high, and they are one of the few supplement companies that offer Kosher products. If you value quality, purity and integrity, try Nature's Sunshine products.
