Water from coconut from yard

About 1/2 a pear offered to me when out in the field at the refuge with the biologist

A couple of figs from yard eaten at the tree :)

Lots of mountain apples harvested fresh from yard

Fresh squeezed orange juice
Mix of zuke, cuke, multicolor carrot noodles with sauce of some of the OJ blended with celery, zucchini, and a touch of tahini, sprinkled with minced fresh chives
Photos to be posted later

Today was a big birding day for me: spent morning on state-wide nene survey, then the rest of the day doing photo review and writing up observations of a moorhen nest from the motion detection camera's SD card I got from an intern. So interesting! Love all of it! :)

Darrel went to farm today to see if there was anything new to harvest, and discovered more theft and vandalism. :( They cut our starfruit tree so severely that it might not survive. 😓 It had the best starfruit I have ever tasted... was planted from a tree that had the best starfruit I had ever had previously. I hope it survives. ❤ It really sucks to not be able to live at the farm right now at times like this.

I am encouraged overall though, as we have plans and are gradually making progress to get back to it again. ❤❤

In the meantime, I'm so grateful I can help out at the refuges being in and with nature and making a difference there. It's wonderful to meet others who care about these things too. :) 🌞👍

Sleep: woke at 3am for temp., but didn't take it, up at ~7:45am to sleep for night at 10:30pm again... good thing I can sleep in again on Sunday - gotta' get to sleep earlier Sunday though 'cause there's no sleeping in on Monday... Food: breakfast: 1 medium-large pineapple (no burn today, nice) lunch: small bag lychee (~20?), 4 smallish-medium dragon fruit before dinner/after run: 15 small-ish medium apple bananas dinner (1 1/2 hrs after bananas): shredded cabbage & carrots with tahini-lemon/lime dressing & 1/2 avocado Yeah, a bit too much overt fats for 10% today, but I've been doing the overt fats light to none lately so it's okay I think - will find out Sunday I suppose... Here's a video of lunch remnants and about dragonfruit I took at the farm. It might take a bit to load 'cause it's the limit of what size Blogger will take. I'll look into other video uploading options another time: Exercise: Pedometer wasn't working quite right

9/9/08 & general updates

Sleep: been working on catching up on my sleep, taking naps here and there and such. Getting closer to caught up. Yay! Had gotten quite behind on my sleep at home due to getting up at 3am 5 days a week to work extra shifts at the gym to cover a co-worker who also opens at the gym and was in the hospital for a couple of weeks. He's covering my shifts while I'm gone so it works out well. I'm gonna' cover his shift again when I get back while he's on vacation so hopefully I'll be well rested enough by then. It wasn't just working at the gym that got me behind on sleep, it was then going to finish harvests, rushing off to the farmer's markets, and all combined with it that did the trick. Long days and short sleeps. I had been catching up on my sleep on days that I couldn't for the few weeks before I left and then I couldn't catch up during H&F Week of course, so there you go... I'm catching up now though, which is good and I'm sure I'

9/27/09 Great day at the farm yesterday! :)

I'll tell y'all about the farm in " The Rest" section later. First, gotta' do the stats for those that are tracking things. :) These stats are from yesterday, unless otherwise noted: Sleep: woke at 6am to get back to running before we had to leave for the day Food: pineapple, possibly the last of the season bananas jakfruit* salad: tahini-lemon dressing with heirloom tomatoes on baby spinach, yum! :) *I had planned to have jakfruit for dinner, and maybe a little bit of baby spinach after, but there were only a couple of pods ripe :(, so I ended up having salad later. Exercise: I got back to running again after a month's away I believe it's been. I didn't have much time for the runs I'd been doing before I left, but figured it'd be good to ease back into it since I was practically a beginner when I left. It went well. I wanted to run at least a mile and had run out of enough time to do so at the pace I'd been doing for the longer runs, so r
