That really is a nice picture Chicka... so green and peaceful looking. Your girls look so comfy just laying there chewing their cud.

Thanks. That's what I thought when I saw them laying there.

I feel like I have accomplished a lot this weekend--I processed three cockerels!

I watched a video on skinning them and this time I paid attention to the part about cutting out the back bone. That makes gutting so easy! Even with these trader Joes cockerels. They are not huge at 14 weeks old,

My son told me his dad skinned all their chickens that it was so much easier they got a lot more done.

Chicka, lovely, lovely pasture! GREEN!!!!


We are in the midst of a true Alaskan spring... It snowed today. Everything was still covered in about 2 inches at noon, by 1 most has melted.

Thanks chicka. Usually he doesn't complain so much about spending money for things I want. Next on my list are canning items, and a food dehydrator.

We hit low 70's today EUREKA!! But, that's the top of my comfort range. Tomorrow ZOO trip -

. My favorites are the Ice cream shop, the "Woof" store that has billion or so stuffed dogs and cats and t shirts, and signs and other stuff - most of it way beyond my budget - but, love to look., and then I also love LUNCH, and walking the beautiful grounds.
The actual zoo part: if you are outside, the animals are IN. If you are In, the animals are OUT.

Some of the major buildings(exhibits) are very old and have deliberately rocky, uneven floors to simulate real conditions - also low lighting. A combination that helped me decide they were off limits to this senior. But, still lots to see and do, and many souvenir shops and sit down restaurants and push cart vendors. The hot dogs are to die for. My brother is threatening lunch at the Buffalo burger place
