My dream for Kenny Ray

"make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

Green beans and tomato's- chicken update

One of my favorite meals, half runner green beans cooked with fat back, sliced tomato's and cucumbers and cornbread. Fresh sweet corn optional. I just about foundered Friday night on it and we had just a few left overs. Which I plan on warming up here in just a few minute's for dinner. They would of been finished off yesterday but we had a family picnic over at Tari's cousin's in Brookville yesterday. Over the next few weeks Tari and Kenny Ray will be sick of green beans as I could eat them everyday and probably just about will.
I will be taking the next batch of chickens tomorrow to the butcher. I have had my hands full with them this time. Between the heat and the bandit I have lost more birds this batch, than the previous two years combined. I first thought the bandit was a coon, but now I am convinced it is weasel or mink. Which ever it is he tried again last night and must have got shocked pretty bad. Because when I got there this morning about three feet of the lower part of the fence was melted and the grass burnt black, but no dead chickens. The bandit got seven Freedom Ranger chickens in total, one more night to go. I also lost a turkey to heat as well as eight Cornish cross birds. I will not be taking the turkey's tomorrow as I think they have not put on enough weight. I do not think the weasel will try and get the turkey's we'll see.
