4 point white tail deer left butt cheek with potatoes, carrots, garlic, celery, and onion cooked 5 hrs in the crock pot

Sounds like you're inviting us over for dinner. I love venison.

We've got some deer in the freezer butttt (pun intended) not sure what parts are actually there. BF does most of the dinner-making. This year is the first year I'd be eligible to hunt (took the classes in spring for both guns and bows). I applied for a moose permit but was a big fat loser (Dsqard, we don't know anything about being losers on a permit draw, do we?).

Hopefully one or both of us will get a deer this year. It gets old eating tofu and homegrown poultry all the time and the deer is a nice change of pace.

I'm hopefully going to drag my butt out of here soon and get to the strawberry picking before it gets too hot. We will hopefully hit up Sam's Club for a 50 lb bag of sugar this evening and then the 2014 canning season can start!

So little time.

Corn not even close here. It's about half grown. Potatoes are getting close. I'm still planting chiles and tomatoes.

The corn is from seed my wife and daughter brought back from the elephant sanctuary in Thailand.

I did pick a bunch of apricots today. They're perfect. I have a bucket of black raspberries too.

Not be a bummer, but
As y'all know, I'm not a medical type. One of my best friends is a doctor though and his girlfriend (one of my wife's best friends) is a nurse. She (the nurse) had lung cancer 3 years ago, had a lung removed, had chemo and radiation and it seemed to be cleared up. A week ago she discovered she had brain cancer. She has 8 tumors on both sides of her brain. Her oncologist told her yesterday that at this stage even though they're doing a whole head radiation thing, she may have 2-5 months left. They're hoping for a miracle. He came by today on his lunch break. (he's a home visit physician and occasionally has patients up my way). He walked up to me in the garden and just broke down in tears.

Thinking of your friend,

Scott

86 degrees here (yuck). Got 6 gorgeous quarts of strawberries from the U-Pick and got home to find the guinea has returned.

Soon I'll be making those pretties into jam.

How about one prior to starting? These smell sooooo good and the picking was pretty good even if it was mobbed with people.
