Lamb sounds really good right now. Guess it’s something to look forward to. Maybe next year for thanksgiving. I’m not a huge turkey fan honestly, and while visiting my parents this year we’ve decided to forgo the turkey this year and are instead going to do a brisket. I’m sure the pilgrims would’ve done the same given the opportunity.

We are having my mom and sister over again this year, like most other years.
Mom's bringing pies and my sister is bringing cheese and cottage cheese. Those two things made it on every holiday dinner table Grandma set. They had a dairy and made those things back in the day, so it was a tradition.

We are making a Kentucky Legends ham, Rabbit casserole, corn cakes, mashed potatoes and rabbit gravy, a green bean dish that is awesome with tomatoe and bacon cooked in it, and of course rolls. I am pretty sure it will all be good.

What is a Kentucky Legends ham? Brand name or method of cooking?

Well another successful thanksgiving has come and gone, sadly with some empty seats this year as my brothers have their duties with the Navy. But we enjoyed good company and way too much good food. I think brisket for thanksgiving was the best idea ever! The dogs seemed to really agree as they chowed down on their own small cuts. They get extra spoiled when we’re visiting my parents so they have no complaints. My neighbor is feeding the horses and ducks back at home while we’re away, another blessing of a rural community. There are plenty of people who can help while we’re away and we’re not worried they’ll do something wrong and we can always return the favor. I’m very grateful this year and I hope all of you had a great day of gratitude with the people you cherish most

I haven’t updated in a while but I’m still alive I promise. We had a packed holiday and I came home to plenty of work to get caught up on. We weren’t even home 24 hours before we received news that my wife’s grandfather had passed away and we were loadin kids back into the car for a 5 hour ride to the in laws. I survived, barely. My kids are terrible travelers and after just getting back from my parents they weren’t any happier to be back in the car than I was. So now we’re back and I’m caught up on work, there’s a lot of work that comes with shipping so many sows right now and I’ve got so many farrowing it’s overly entertaining. The snow melted and it’s jusy cold now, I heated up a little trimming the horses and working on their corral. Also found out that while we were gone we missed out on all the excitement. My neighbor with sheep lost 5 to another neighbors German shepherd and Aussie, and the rest were so stressed that they aborted their lambs. In the end she lost 5 ewes and 12 lambs, and those dogs are now confined to that property with a general consensus that they will be shot on sight. I’ll be moving some things around now to place my sheep pen in front of the house, if nothing more than to give me a clearer shot should I ever need it. It would also put my back 2.5 acres and my house plus all my neighbors property between those dogs and the future sheep. Now I see why my house was built in the middle of my 5 acres.
