RAINY WEATHER A VIEW AND A TURKEY UPDATE

Thankgiving Day is almost upon us!

Here is a morning of coffee (and hot tea for me) on the screened in porch.  No big table yet but we're using an end table and a couple of chairs.  We'll never get tired of this view, that's for sure!


We had some heavy rain the other day, in fact, it was our first big thunderstorm since being out here.  It was pretty intense, and there was about an hour of tornado warnings (radar indicated tornado) but thankfully, everything was fine for us, the storms went the other direction and did unfortunately cause some damage.  

The plants are happy with the rain for sure.


The next morning, when I was heading to work, it was wet and very foggy!  But again, wouldn't trade this view now for anything.  Quiet and peaceful...

Dry brining turkeys update:


Here they are as of last night.  Two 13.5lb turkeys doing their thing.  The skin is tightening up and getting more translucent.  They are rubbed with olive oil and then seasoned inside and out and under the skin with our blend of seasoning.  They should taste amazing and we can't wait!

Tomorrow, they hit the ovens!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

  1. Where do you head if there is a tornado since you do not have a basement? Me I would never live in a house without a basement growing up in tornado area

  2. I wouldn't get tired of the view either. The trees will flourish and you'll be there to watch them grow.

    Love,

  3. A beautiful view to look at with morning tea. The peace of the countryside.
    I got only one tenth of an inch of rain. Was really hoping for more.
    The turkeys look all ready for Thanksgiving!
