Stephen, thanks for the love! And my sympathy for the weeds in the herb garden. I most definitely feel your pain. As for rabbits, we’ve considered them, but for some reason that I can’t quite put my finger on, they don’t really appeal to us right now. If we were on a serious quest to raise all our own food (rather than this silly half-assed lark), we would definitely do it, though. Rabbits make a great deal of sense. So, maybe *you* should try them, and then we can learn from your experience …

Tamar, I absolutely love your blog! I so enjoy your writing style; and frank nature in which you share your experiences. So many of your frustrations (coupled with triumphs, of course!) are struggles anyone working toward this lifestyle has felt. Today while working in my herb garden, which sounds picturesque unless you saw my weeds, a question occurred to me: have you ever considered adding a rabbitry to your homestead? The more I thought about it the more I am convinced you should try it! Then I can read your account and decide if I should try it myself! thanks again–I just love this blog!

Jack and Sahil (belatedly, Sahil — I must have missed you back in December) — Thanks for the kind words and moral support. Jack, I’m not sure they’d let me cross the Mason-Dixon line with my haircut! Besides, I was never one for grits. But, still, it’s nice to know I’d be welcome in Charlotte.

Love the website, the writing, the recipes…there’s just one thing…I’m sorry that you weren’t born’d and raised in the South. I don’t mean anything mean against the North, mind you. You just seem to be more of a Southern type of gal. Like you were accidentally placed in the wrong part of the world. I would have been right proud to have ya’ll as neighbors. ~ Jack ~ Charlotte, NC

I just found your blog while perusing Tovar Cerulli’s blogroll over at the Mindfulcarnivore.com. I’m sure glad I did! Your writing is wonderfully witty and refreshing and congratulations on all that you’ve done so far. And you’re my neighbor from up here in good old NH! Keep it up! Linked and subscribed!

Patti! Nice to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the accident. I think the answer to being pre-diabetic, like the answer to so many other health problems, is to knuckle down and lose the weight. If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s trying to get thinner, but we all just have to suck it up and do it. Enjoy the blueberries!

Tamar
congrats on all you have accomplished. Can you help an old friend who is pre diabetic?
I was in an accident and gained weight. I know to stay away from sugar but any helpful hints? I learned I can thankfully enjoy avacadoes and blueberries

regards
Patti
