Well, the farm has been officially named:  “Bean Acres” .  Remember the Green Acres series on TV, we are developing our own song now to go along with the farm.
Newest development…a new neighbor has moved in and he owns a Kabota with a shovel on the front and a tiller on the back……he tilled under the buttercups that were trying to take over my garden! It looks wonderful.
Also he is a “goat person” and we are hoping by next year to be set up to have a couple of milk goats. He was milking several when he moved. We are still looking for someone able to move the huge hoop greenhouse that is on his place…but he said , no rush. God is good!
The fava beans under the row cover in the 50′ bed are now making beans. I have started my first tincture off their tops (which will make enough for about 2 months of doses for me). I am excited..spring has come!
Blessings …………..

Good Hydration Makes a Huge Difference
I forgot to mention that I am enjoying the Aquas...my elbow are not brittle now, the dry skin on my feet is going away, my eyes are moist, not dry and agravating and I am actually wanting to drink water again. Haven’t wanted it for quite a while. Mentioned them on Neurotalk and have already had an inquirey about it….so you may hear from more people with PD
Take care

A New Treatment for Constipation
Just a quick note to let you know that I have come across something else that is helping two of my difficulties: Organic Blackstrap Molasses. I was researching to see if it is healthy or not, because it is a byproduct of sugar cane. The information said it was good for acid reflux and constipation.
Constipation has been a problem since my diving accident in 7th grade (when my foot drag first appeared). I don’t have acid reflux (have very rarely)Â But, have a problem with the “door” to the stomach not opening to receive food or liquids sometimes.
I thought, that’s the same area at least needing help … can’t hurt to try it. Well, I have taken a teaspoon every day for a week or so and my bowels are moving much better and the digestive system is cooperating also.
Fermented papaya still a major blessing. Also still eating stewed rhubard and strawberries.
Favas in the 50′ covered raised bed are starting to flower. I planted 3 raised beds with favas on Monday in a cold rain (about 100 sprouting seeds). So, this year’s garden is on it’s way.  I should have a lot more planted by now, but the weather is not cooperating.
God is good, we still have tincture from last year to go on.
I have just enjoyed “Howard’s blog on Chi Gong….interesting enough….I do alot of the same stretches with no involvement in yoga, etc.  The stretches & torquing my muscles (like full body isometrics…using my muscles against each other) have been part of my life since about 2003. Perhaps that is a major part of my not succumbing to my symptoms of PD/ along with a mostly vegetarian diet. I eat eggs, a small amount of deer meat occasionally/ and fish plus dance /do hard work in the garden/ play music and sing.
God is so good.
