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.

SPRING IN SIGHT

We got a few more inches of snow last night and hoping this will be the last one of the season.  It is almost spring and we are more than ready.  We have a few plants coming up and need to get outside some more to prepare the garden space for this year.  We had a nice hike the other day down the Knobstone trail by Elk Creek Lake and we are also ready for some more hiking this year!  I have a new tent and sleeping bags ordered and they should be here by tomorrow.  More blueberry seeds ordered to and hopefully these will do better then the last bunch!  We also got a new bunny and a bunch of new puppies!  That's the latest updates for now.

Camping Season Begins

Warm weather pushed in with the opening of Spring Break and the camping fever set in. We took advantage of the 70 degree weather and took a hike out on the KT. Better known as the Knobstone Trail. After a brief hike and loaded down with camping gear we set up for camp as we watched the wildlife and enjoyed the forest. We met a group of hikers pressing on through the woods as they enjoyed the KT also. This is just the beginning of a great year as long as the weather holds out.

Mushroom hunting on the Hiking trail

We went hiking today and enjoyed a picnic out on the trail. I found one mushroom today. It was alittle too early for the area we were hiking on. Its back to work tomorrow so I thought I would get some blog time in.
