The Old Folks Home

[Fields Mountain Farm]

Hello All! Sorry it has taken me a while to get back on here. Been crazy busy since I got back from vacation and I'm getting ready to go out of town again tomorrow for a week. My company is having a quarterly meeting in Salt Lake City for the beginning of the week and I am taking advantage of the free plane ticket to hop down to the southern part of the state for a few days to hit red rock country. I tried pestering SCG into coming with me but she has to work so this will be a solo trip. I skipped over a bunch of posts so I am assuming she shared how wonderful our Yosemite trip was. We had an awesome time except for SCG hurting her knee. Nothing too major (we hope) but she has promised she is going to get it checked out. I am glad we went the week we did because the following week they had snow at Glacier point which closed that road for a day or so and they had a rock slide on the road that we were taking in and out of the park each day. No one got hurt thank goodness, but the road only just reopened today. That would have really put a massive cramp in our plans. Here are a few of the pictures I got

Except for cleaning the cooler, I am mostly done for today. Couple minor pieces left, but that's ok.

Got the stock parts roasting in the ovenView attachment 1046658 View attachment 1046659 , soon to go in the slow cooker to make stock and strain for stew meat.

Got a giant pile of parts of 6 birds and 2 whole birds in foodsavers, and resting for the first of two days down in the basement fridge.

I also got the kitchen garden planted while I waited for BF to come home from work (he does the actual cutting up of parts once I get the birds down to dead naked wholeness).

I am bushed.

I feel for you, I do all the chicken butchering here. Not a hard task just time consuming and tiring!
Hope you have an uneventful, restful evening.

dsqard your pics are very beautiful almost makes me feel like I am there.

Scg your pans of chicken look like your going to have a wonderful supper.
As for you ladies doing the chicken deeds I commend you. I helped my dh but no way could I or would I have done all that.

Scg how is your knee doing?

I remember when you were supposed to dress up to travel.....

I have been impressively over dressed a couple of times now.

Crazy town.... people wearing shorts and ratty t-shirts. When "out"

People on airplanes now wear jammies!

I remember when as a kid, traveling with my dad, men wore suits and ties on planes, women wore snazzy dresses and fancy jewelry.

Not saying then was better or worse...just that change blows my mind.
