EAT ROW REJOICE
09-08-2010 - 10:48am
This may get old, these celebrations of the YNY life, but I sure had a beauty this weekend. Up on Lake Winnepesauke again...up at dawn and took the new Whitehall (actually a Little River Heritage Skiff, made of carbon fiber) out before any else was stirring. Rowed in the mist and the loons to nearby islands...slowly...just taking it in. Then head... Read More
Open call for limbic resources !

Chris and I would like to begin collecting what we call limbic resources. These are organizations, mostly non-profits, that offer effective vehicles for Younger Next Year members to get connected, do some good, and build their limbic base.

DAY FOUR OF INSULINLESSNESS, LOL
07-27-2010 - 05:36am
Yes... day #4 and this morning's readiing was better than the first ones, being just 117. I have yet to tweak and twitch and otherwise fine tune my eating to be sure I ingest enough calories, but I'm close enough to be almost home in that department, if not already there... watching the scale. I don't buy FOR SURE yet, that this indicates I can remain insulin free, but I grow ever more cautiously hopeful and feel more secure in it every day.
Been spending my days picking wild Blackberries and wild Raspberries... have a large freezer basket filled! Hubby, Steve, is the designated Blueberry picker & contributed a pound of those yesterday, too. I'm alreay imagining some future blizzardy mornings, here in my hidden mountain meadow, with nowhere to HAVE to go, nothing to HAVE to do (other than my exercise job, lol) a brisk little fire and a bowl of wild berries and cream!!!
Been seeing moose... had to slam on the brakes at the mouth of the driveway the other day, for a cow and calf that suddenly trotted out of the woods RIGHT in front of the van. Steve says there are Brush Wolf, fox, raccoon, turkeys and heaven knows what all else competing with him for the Blueberries... and THEY get the biggest and the juiciest, lol. He reported that there are so many pathways among the berry shrubs it looks like people have been picking, when we KNOW that's not the case.
