Deer is in the freezer

Cold and rainy which is not my kinda cold.  If it is going to be cold there needs to be snow out there, like five foot of it.  But God has a plan and it was for rain today.  The deer has been processed and froze along with a few meals that the kids ate like candy.  We all love our venison. Topped with gravy and mash potato side and green beans yum yum.  I have some of the deer drying out making another family favorite, venison jerky.  Now that will be gone in no time.  Seems like I can never make enough jerky.  Guess with the next deer we get I should make it all into jerky for those home school field trips hiking through the woods.  I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! Well here's to another day of living off the land and loving it.

Deer Hunting

It's that time of the year again and the boys are in the deer hunting mode. Two of them have already got one. The deer jerky is delightful! One buck and one doe. This year the limit is 8 in our county and one buck. So we still have lots more to hunt for. I love to go deer hunting myself and might even get a chance to go this year. We will just have to wait and see.

Blessed

A great day indeed! Our neighbor asked if we had a garden, and I told him yes a small one, he said would you like some cucumbers? I said ya sure. So he brought a bag of cucumbers and they were delicious. Then they wanted to know if we wanted some of the deer meat they had, so we like deer meat and had to turn on the freezer in the garage because there was not enough room in my freezer to put it all. They also sent corn on the cob,cut corn,cheese,bread and more!
What great neighbors!!
