Posted in Thyme To Thyme

Yesterdat mornig after getting the children off on the bus, HB and I got the barn work done and prepared for a day of butchering chickens and turkeys. We worked and actually got them all 35 meat birds and 9 turkeys done. WHAT A DAY. I was both cold and hungury when it was all done and the children were just getting home from school when we finished. I was smart in the morning and made a Hamberger soup in the slow cooker for supper and there was still bread left. Yummy and warm supper for a cool Fall day.

I left 20 meat birds whole and frooze them along with 8 turkeys. I kept the smallest turkey out for tonights supper. Yum a fresh turkey what could be better?

I did cut up chicken with the other 15 chickens and made room for them all in the freezer.

We were really behinf this year but time was just not with us, but after chasing chickens off the road all week and finding them in the woods 1/4 mile away then we new it had to be done.

So today is a homey clean up day. I just finished making the stuffing for the bird and putting it tin the oven and now deciding what else im having with it.

It has been really chilly here latly and I can say  really love Fall
