Buttercup is clearly pregnant

I got to see her in person last night and I think she’s due in like 3 weeks.

In fact, I think she will have her litter Easter Weekend. That means, if she so choices, we will all see them like June 7 (my birthday)

If this plays out, do you know how special this deal is?

This will be our 4th generation of watching the same raccoon family.

Actually it’s 5 Generations, I just didn’t know flowers mother that well. Actually, I didn’t even really know I was looking at the same raccoon every night back then. I was not as observant.

So we start with the First i really recognized and she was Flower, she had Blossom who had Buttercup, Rose and Patunia. (By the way all three were on my porch this week) Rose and Petunia came from far away dens just to commun with Buttercup at my water hole.

They chatted. (Check out the footage earlier in the week). I liked to think that they discussed this issues of raising kits. As I bet they are all carrying and it just So sweet, as I pray for special moments just like this. And God honors my silly little prayers.

Should we go with Easter flower names for Blossom’s litter this time? Like Blue Bonnet or Lily? What other flower names are associated with Easter time?

If this happens and I’m allowed to see? … I will cry.

Happy Monday everyone. After Ellie Figueroa kicks my big ass into shape at the gym I get to make a butterfly for Anne Locke and paint on Susanne Taylor Mathis, ES Wedding Venue sign. Fun!

My Raccoon adventure

Loves her our Buttercup.

Buttercup mated we believe feb 2.

She’s been mia for two days other than captured on front camera where a boy was following her back to her den.

I saw her in person tonight.
She’s looking good, guys … seemed calm.

If I’m right. We will have a litter by April 5 which means I get to see them like June 5 if Buttercup wishes.

Ok so please Pray for our girl. She’s got three injuries that she has recovered from.

Two on her left hip she got as a baby when her mother Blossom got killed. One on the other hip. And tonight her tail looks a little ruff.

The wild is so wild here. She’s free, which is more than most humans can say, but she needs our prayers.

Our Buttercup was her mother’s favorite. Her mother hugged her close up under her arm, so unlike Rose her sister, Buttercup is very WILD … she knows me with great caution just like mama taught her.

I wish she could survive to see her grandkids. We’ve come this far, right? … but that’s God’s business … as He knows every raccoon and every hair on your head he has numbered.

I love her. Happy pregnancy girl. Day 2 … 61 more to go.

Attention 50 + insulin resistant ladies

This is interesting … thought you guys might think so too.

Micah over at Veritas in Lubbock asked me to get my blood ketones to 1.5 or above all the time. That’s a tall order. But if i can do it it means I’m burning fat all day long that lives on my body. So I’m measuring all the time so I can figure out what causes my levels to dump.

This info might help other 50+ women who are insulin resistant. So …

Background: I’m finally off all forms of sugar including fake and also I’m off processed foods. I do not have them or booze on the daily. (Vacation I eat and drink everything – one day I hope I can even stop this)

So This is the cool – If I eat anything other than FAT before I run or ski or lift weight. My ketones numbers go down and I can’t recover my 1.5 or higher until the following day.

It’s because muscles at work kicks glucosamine into the blood so if I eat protein or carbs before work outs it’s just way to much glucose in the blood for me to recover. But get this.

If I just eat fat (I do coffee with butter and heavy whip cream and nothing else) before my workout, then I come home and eat my protein while that food is digesting I go from 0.7 to 1.5 or higher shortly after that work out.

Because of you guys (veritas) I’m going for it. This is my inspiration. She started at 59. I’m 58. She’s 73 now!!

I’m going to need good plastic surgeon to cut the skin off my stomach because I allowed myself to get to 225 lbs but other than that I got this. Do you know a surgeon there you love?

I am so blessed to have found you guys. An answer to a pray. I wanna be your poster child one day!

I’ve come a long way and I’m digging the journey!
