love this time of yr. We took the kids fishing and caught 9 large trout and a big large mouth bass in about 2.5 hrs on kid fishing poles, worms and bobbers. lol. So we had fresh fish for dinner tonight and I froze some for another night. I steamed some green beans from the garden and dished up the last of my grapes (from kings but they were only .99 a lb....). A delicious fish dinner for 5 and it cost us maybe $3 with the added bonus of some fish in the freezer.
Once the fish were done being cleaned we decided to try and give the chickens a raw, whole fish head and see what they would do with it. I had 14 of them surround the thing, poof up, and stare it down! lol! I should have taken a picture because it was the strangest thing i've seen out of them in the last few months. We finally figured out that they wouldn't go near it with the eyes in it still! They did investigate it once hubby took them out, but it was 8p and I think they were too full to go in for a taste test. They have some yummy, cooked leftovers as a treat tomorrow though.
