Mama's Musings

Another day of butchering behind us. It was another successful one - time and weather wise. It had rained the night before so the morning was cool and cloudy. In fact, just as the sun broke through the clouds (around noon) we were putting the last bird on ice. We had some smaller birds this time (between 2 and 3 pounds) which we heard make great fryers. After dealing with the 6 and 7 pounders the little ones felt like finches during processing!
We ate green beans and onions from our garden tonight- such a nice feeling to walk out the back door to get dinner out of the ground. I've been reading another Gene Logston book-my guru-and have gotten inspired yet again to pull weeds, harvest food for the winter, and look around our little farm and be extremely thankful.
